AU53. I don't see anything damning regarding a cleaning. VAM 141 can be found with PL fields, and this looks like a lightly circulated PL coin....
No, but these add-ons that have almost no cost to the grading service are keeping the grading prices from going up faster. If they couldn't sell...
As I've said in the past, I'm thankful for people that pay up for this stuff, as it subsidizes the services I actually use.
Then I have to as what are the grandfather's expectations as far as what happens with the coins in the future? Does he expect they will...
I buying for non-collectors, you want something that really looks good. I could make a case for buying higher grade generics, like 80-S in 66PL,...
There are actually many VAMs listed for 1921. Only a couple are worth a premium. I can't tell from the picture which yours is, but it is not VAM...
Probably. He died in 2004, and that's when ANACS introduced the quick-release holder.
I've been using these for a long time. I use a paper label printed in an inkjet printer wrapped over the top edge. There is a "break" between...
And possibly damaged, too. Those reeding marks all over the obverse are exceptionally heinous.
I just posted one on the PCGS board that was in a newer slab, serial number 22033-016. The thing is, the earliest black slabs had a number...

Beat me to it.
Decent looking coin. I do see a couple hairlines on the cheek to go along with the scuff on the jaw. 63-64 if there's nothing bad hidden in the...
A rubber band stain is considered environmental damage.
You could use nylon ribbon instead. If you really wanted to spend money, there are rubber bands made from silicone rather than rubber. They're...
Be sure to let us know how well it goes. Enjoy your coffee. For what it will cost you, I hope it's at least that fancy civet crap coffee.
After seeing pictures that were e-mailed to me, this is the reverse of VAM 19.1 and 19.2. I'd have to see the obverse to know which, but the...
I've used Helicon Focus for this. It works much better and quicker than CombineZP/ZM, and I think there's a free 14 day trial if you just want to...
Assuming you'd end up with a ton of bookmarks (or 6, anyway) and organize them hierarchically to avoid running out of screen real estate for your...
I've had a few PO1 coins cross my desk, but haven't weighed any. I'll have to do this next time I get my hands on one, but I'm guessing it would...
Separate names with a comma.
