If I consider business strikes, proofs, commemoratives, and modern NCLT, I think I would always consider less than 500 to be low mintage, and I...
If it were mine, I'd have it graded, but would send it with enough other coins to minimize the shipping and handling overhead. Looks like an AU53.
I would not have bought it. For starters the obverse and reverse are on the wrong sides.
Because getting 3 grams of copper for 1 cent is a better deal than 3.75 grams for 5 cents or 2.1 grams for 10 cents.
The bigger issue is dealing with the glare from the slab. For exposure, I always set the exposure manually and check the histogram to make sure...
The only way to get them done for free is to write the grade on them yourself, but there's relatively little market acceptance of that compared...
It doesn't have the look of a reprocessed cent. Those typically look really shiny, with a sloppy, gunky plating layer on an underlying VF coin....
XF. The weakness on the right side of the coin is not wear.

Doesn't look like it according to this website.
If you are shipping with any significant value frequently, look into an insurance policy that covers shipping, rather than buying insurance for...
It's the top left (i.e., first) badge on my sash. Got in in 1977, my Eagle some years later. Remember that this is introductory material for...
Store unprepared Devonian fossils (at least that's what one of my daughters would do) Replace the rusty coffee can of odd hardware you'll never...
Sudden break in the toning on the brow and cheekbone were the big clues for me. I actually didn't see this hint before posting my guesses. The...
Columbian 58 Columbia 64 - Wild guess. No way to see the surfaces from the pictures with that much toning. I'm guessing eye appeal limited the...
Looks like about a 5° rotation, which is within the "normal" range. I'm going to say no to FSB, too. The second picture from the bottom looks...
All I see is a reflection on the S that is probably playing tricks on you. The reason it looks like a gem is because it is a proof coin that was...
And it looks like this one is VAM 1BZ. Normal dies, but a collar clash on the reverse by PEACE and the mountains. Raised mark in the rays is a...
I think what you have is simply a die crack through the Y, and not die doubling. I can't tell what I should be seeing on the other letters.
Separate names with a comma.
