Someone had posted one of the Landis overstrikes on an actual nickel planchet. It made it apparent how poorly the original Schlag reverse would...
Looks dangerous. Try a hammer on the edge of a slab, holding it on a concrete floor. Slabs usually pop open neatly, without the need to get that...
So all you need is a $20 Saint, the 7070 gold page, and a hammer! No $3 or Type 2 $1 in the book, and if none have premiums above type, you're...
No gold page? ;)
Got mine yesterday. They're pretty cool. [IMG] [IMG]
I was actually thinking of creating a YouTube channel dedicated to bad information about coins and setting it straight, but I don't have that kind...
Might want to check with your accounting department. Looking at the coin in the OP.
Diagnostics for the 1922 high relief coins include: - Fatter lettering of IGWT with the top of the O level and G high. - More rotund 9 and curvier...
The OP coin looks like one of the high relief 1922s. It is not an ordinary 1922 Peace dollar. Send it for authentication.
First of all, welcome. Second, thanks for doing a little bit of homework before asking questions, and not just coming here expecting a free...
The obverse field is rather important on Ikes, because it's so big. If it's clean, it really helps the grade.
Nobody found it useful. I'm surprised it took so long for them to do away with it. It muddied up the label with no benefit.
And it'll be a frustrating task. Much of the doubling on the dates of 80-S is on the surface of the first 8, which is vulnerable to bag marks and...
The reverse is definitely the VAM 70 reverse. The note on VW about sharing the reverse with a litany of others is very misleading. The C3b...
You may be inclined to overlook the scratches on the raw one at first, but eventually you'll be stuck with a problem coin you don't like.
XF45-AU50, but it doesn't matter from a price standpoint. This is a date that is worth some markup over bullion unless uncirculated.
Pretty sure ANACS does. I'm almost positive I've seen Zombucks in their holders.
Yes. VAM 6. Very nice AU. 94-Os are pancakes, typically, so you can't just look at hair detail. You should do well on this one. These are...
Looks real. Putting coins in acrylic as gifts was a big thing when the Treasury hoard was released in the early 60s. It was probably buffed up a...
C4/C3, Slanted date, O set right, but not VAM 38. Try VAM 46. The full-coin pictures are bad, but the mint mark and date positions might be...
Separate names with a comma.
