Like many collectors I started with Lincoln Cents. One of my uncles gave me the 13th Edition of The Red Book and the two Whitman Lincoln Cent...
It's not worth spending the money to get it graded. The toner people want a piece with pretty colors (subjective) which is full mint luster under...
Genuine examples of this coin have highly reflective fields. This looks like a cast counterfeit. It has grainy surfaces, and it’s been “aged” by...
Not very well. The newer PCGS slabs fit into NGC boxes that way, but the CACG slabs are awkward fits and look like they might get lose and scratch...
