Guess the grade of this 1881-S Morgan Dollar and please provide your reasons for the grade. Opinions of the coin are also welcome. [IMG] :)
No worries, I will buy the pretty one at a premium which will make up for the ones that went bad. You can still sell those on E-Bay. Get a real...
That is just semantics. Rust is just another word for corrosion of ferrous metals (iron & steel).
If everyone stops using albums, what will I collect. I need people to continue to use albums for uncirculated coins so I can continue to have...
Here is the story behind the 1892-O. I purchased this coin from an E-Bay seller for MS62 money because I believed that the coin was BU based on...
I don't go to coin shows to see how dealers conduct themselves, but I have met some Northeast coin dealers at the casino and they are just like...
Looks like I qualify! [IMG]
I have come to a final conclusion (with reasons) but will not divulge it until everyone has a chance to chime in.
OK guys, here is the update. I received the coin in the mail today and after inspection, I still don't know. The coin is radically different...
That is a good idea and I might do that. My method of taking the photos is a little primitive, but with some very simple photoshop techniques, I...
Good Eye Spock. The two finest coins in the set and the only true uncirculated examples. The 1897 I purchased from a popular E-Bay seller who...
How about the fact that a genuine 1916-D sells for over $100 in P01 and $15,000 in MS63. Now honestly, if you had a $15K coin, would you sell it...
It is no so much that the coins are not nice, some of them are. However, I would say that I overpaid for at least half of the coins in this...
I bet everyone thought that I only collect certified rainbow toned coins. When I first started collecting coins, I started with a Dansco Album of...
My opinion is that it is accurately grade and is a solid MS65 even though I paid MS66 money for the coin because of the toning. The luster and...
That is too funny. Since you used to own the coin, what do you think of ANACS grade of MS65? Agree, disagree, overgraded, undergraded? You have...
Wow, are you sure you didn't cheat with that guess, how did you know it was ANACS---2007? [IMG] Good Job!
Kudos to Leadfoot. That is exactly right. The coin looks AT to me as well and NTC graded it MS65. However, if it were not toned, I would not...
Leadfoot The following photo is an NTC slabbed coin. I don't actually have a photo of the entire slab, but you can see the NT at the bottom...
It is not the coin dealers that are creating the monopoly, it is the self slabbers themselves. The third world TPG's (NNC, NAC etc) have created...
