I'll go with 63. The marks on the face seem to be scuffs rather than scrapes and hacks, but they're still the coin's biggest liability. PL or...
Looks like a nice AU coin. Strike is typically really good on 96-P, and it does have attractive toning typical of what you'll find on that date....
Post size and weight. If it's 22K, then you should be able to tell based on looking at the price of gold if you are being offered close to what...
Yuck. No excuse for this one. PCGS will end up eating it someday.
That's probably the most expeditious way of filling an album. Not as fun as going through rolls for some of the most recent ones. Prices vary...
In this case, the third left star, with the extra break on it. In general, a simple die crack may be sufficient to identify a die, but a die...
The aborted hole on the obverse makes it a no-go for me.
VF30 seems right to me.
Thanks. I wasn't implying it was not a nice coin, but just comparing it with the OPs F-VF, which is pretty awesome for an 1822, probably in the...
I really like your better 1822. Mine's not so nice (AG3). [IMG]
[ATTACH] OK, so it's not mine, but I got to play with it at ANA and figured this thread might need one of this type.
PCGS forum as well, and I can't remember if I've dropped it on VAMWorld or not. Of course the danger of putting it in any official numismatic...
A term which is becoming more and more mainstream in this hobby, so it seems. Perhaps they should include it in the Red Book.
In the case of the SMS coins, the manufacturing process is not that of proofs, neither is it that of normal business strikes. The mint stopped...
Looks OK. Not crazy about the obverse, though. Are there scratches in the upper left field?
The term "Experimental Strike" attempts to establish the context of the coin's striking, not the coin itself. This context could just as easily...
I imagine a call to their customer service would yield an answer.
No, they don't. The PCGS definition says it's used on those coins, but not to the exclusion of others. The ANA definition is even more...
I imagine it comes from the PCGS grading standards. If so, then you really can't argue that a grading service you say changes with the wind with...
I'm looking at my 1977 edition (1st, perhaps, since it doesn't specify) of the ANA grading guide as well as the 7th edition. Both say that the...
Separate names with a comma.
