As go the left hand and left leg, so goes the head, although not quite as severely.
I always look at the picture after I take it to see what adjustments it needs in order to be a better picture. Some people for whatever reason get...
1941-S is generally a poorly struck issue, and that's why all the detail is missing down the middle of the obverse. With that in mind, look...
Alignment is off by maybe 5° or so. Well within tolerance. 1921-D Morgans are famous for die cracks and breaks. In 2003, Rob Joyce wrote a...
Careful with these, though. These dies were brutally polished to make the proof finishes we know and love. The problem isn't in Liberty's head...
I'll second that book recommendation. While you're waiting for it to arrive, go to PCGS Coinfacts and read the narratives by David Hall, who...
Good move following the "never buy a coin you don't like" rule. Over time, however, you'll find that some dates, such as 40-S, usually have...
Best to start another thread with your question.
Keep in mind that for 84-S grades are never generous. Given the huge price jump in MS grades, TPGs tend to be very strict when giving them out....
Nice carvings! Is the emperor one a "Nero Nickel"?
Yours isn't rotated. 12:00 on the obverse is half way between I and B, and on the reverse it's the E. Regarding normal rotation tolerances, 15°...
Seems right to me.
She was signing mostly promotional material at that show, but I didn't really want that. Of course, I didn't have the presence of mind to have...
Glenna Goodacre passed away on Monday. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.abqjournal.com/1443853/santa-fe-sculptor-glenna-goodacre-dies.html/amp...
Don't do that. The specification of VAM 2EO does not mention the clash, and Leroy's comments state why. The only times that these spikes on the...
The crack along the bottom of the neck is the most common crack on all Peace dollars. It's just the way the dies broke. If you have an exact...
So I take from the sticker on it you paid $35?
64 on the plastic. $15 in 1978. Had you said 1979, I'd have had to ask which month.
No such thing as a CC/S Morgan. You're seeing polishing lines inside the mint mark, which happens frequently. As mentioned earlier, check the...
I said 30, but I'm fine with 25. The "something extra" this coin brings to the table far outweighs the difference between those grades.
