B-31/BB-115 is supposed to have really weak stars. The big divot in the field where the stars should be is probably the damage that's given on...
Looks AU50.
I was at nice 67 for the OP coin. You can't really experience 68-ness of a Morgan from a lifeless picture. I'll bet a dollar to a donut that CAC...
The dies, no, but detailed photos of the dies and hubs. TPGs have authenticated forgeries in the past, so I would expect that authentication of a...
The Mint has working 1964-D Peace dollar dies that have been closely studied to the extent that it will be possible to authenticate such a coin....
I saw this on the PCGS board and was stunned. I had known Mike for several years and had the chance to photograph many of his coins. He had a...
The stuff by UM is damage to the coin. Pity, since it otherwise has a nice look to it for a coin of that grade.
As 17 were graded, I would imagine it wasn't difficult for the graders to compare them with each other and assign grades once some sort of...
Acetone won't fix the spots on the OP's coin. Those are verdigris spots, where "verdigris" is a fancy term for "green rust."
The NGC forum had frequent issues with spammers and scammers creating a bogus account and posting their crap, usually totally unrelated to coins....
Based on the pictures, I don't see the 81-O grading 65. That's a big jump in price from 64 and the coin needs to be all there for a 65. The nick...
I have a dishwasher safe keyboard that I rescued from a discard pile that I'm not using. Works fine. USB cable is quite short, so it would need...
I'll be at the ANA show in Denver from Thursday through Saturday set up for all your imaging needs. $10/coin includes front, back, slab,...
Your head would look funky, too, if you washed your face with a bench grinder.
Scotch-Brite victim. Worth melt.
If it's uncirculated, you did OK. No idea if it's common or rare, but there's not enough demand for it to matter.
VAM 2BJ2. The obverse field gouge and reverse collar clash are both present.
They do look to be all the same die pair (I'm going with VAM 21A), which means they were not likely dispersed into circulation (i.e., they're...
The 88-O Morgan is an oval O, VAM 17. The grade looks to be FR2, but as such is would be a pop. 1, none lower at PCGS (two are currently graded...
I think I'm going to start calling Indian Cents "Oakies" instead.
Separate names with a comma.
