Scorched earth on this seller. $25 for a random (fake) Morgan dollar means they have a big supply of these and this was no accident. SNAD, do...
No die cracks, fuzzy pictures gave me pause at first. Seems to have clashed A1f reverse. Obverse stars look a bit rounded, and it looks like...
65, held back by the reverse.
I could go with either 64 or 65 from the pictures. I'm in a good mood, so I'll say 65. I'm not convinced it makes PL, but that's always tough to...
I see the same thing, but if it the surfaces are deemed market-acceptable, it'll be net graded down a notch rather than put in a details holder. VF25.
If you didn't spot me at the show last Thursday, it's because I wasn't there. I was at the Mayrland Historic Society photographing coins and...
No.
If you go to VAMWorld, there's a link on the left side that says "Join the SSDC." Be aware that while the payment is eletronic, it is processed...
The central obverse has a slight look of being a little lighter than the rest of the obverse. I may be totally wrong on this, and it could simply...
Nobody's perfect, there are advantages and disadvantages for each, some of which depend on personal taste. Discussions of this often end up like...
And the body of knowledge about 1881-O Morgan dollar VAMs has become much bigger and, more importantly, more accurate, as a result of this project.
I'm hard pressed to find an appreciable difference between VG10 and F12 on PCGS Photograde (which every new collector should bookmark), and yours...
No doubt disposal was planned before the heist. They'll have to cut it with alloy to make it less pure. Then they'll probably cast it into small...
While the surfaces aren't great, they aren't hideous, either. Black crust is pretty unforgiving to conservation attempts. At best, you'll have...
The item dated 1800 is not a genuine coin. It was probably intended to be a fake Bust dollar, since there are no bust halves dated 1800, but it's...
That's machine doubling. Quite common for 1922. Typically shows up on the nose, neck, and date. It doesn't figure into the attribution.
Looks close. If not quite PL, maybe get a star for trying from NGC. AU55, perhaps? It was probably dipped to attempt to get rid of the black...
You would probably get at least 110% of hammer (e.g., coin hammers for $1M, you get $1.1M, buyer pays $1.175M) on that coin with either Heritage...
It sold for $57,200 (including the vig) back in 1982. Eliasberg bought it in 1942 as part of the Clapp collection, which he bought for $100,000....
While I have seen coins in GSA holders that were toned on both sides, they're not common. After the GSA sale, coins that found their way into...
Separate names with a comma.
