I used the seller’s photo for the Barber; in hand, the cleaning is more obvious and I think your theory could be what happened (someone wanted to...
It's part of the Stacks ANA Auction and is currently at $4,200. I'm guessing it should easily go over $10k (Stacks mentions that a weaker MS 64...
Hey all, I have the following available. Price is my best. Shipping is free (in the US) and payment is via PayPal (I cover the 3% fee or I’ll take...
The people have spoken and we have an average grade of 65.96 The coin graded MS 67, and I think that is fair. It's also one of those coins were...
All of the holders are relatively new. My best estimate for those examples is that the original grading period was 2014-2016 and the upgrades...
Yes there was some discussion about this leading into the ATB Quarter series....
Yes and Yes. It was the 5th example in the original post of this thread:...

In my many coin searches, I have not come across a true 70 graded toner. There have been a few Silver Eagles in gassed slabs and one nickel that...
I'd normally agree, but I've owned a few coins that were 60 and 61 that had almost no bag marks (I probably even did guess the grade threads on...
Some people haven't taken the Ed Wood grading courses...or didn't pay attention during those classes. :D
I'm in the 65 camp with a chance of a 66 due to the clean fields/cheek. It would need more "flash" or "pop" to get to 67. It's a cool piece to...
I actually wrote BN and then went back to look and noticed the holder said RB. I wouldn't call it RB, but with this coin it likely doesn't make...
