Yep, that's one trashed surface. It's no surprise the ridiculously tiny mintmark got deformed as well.
Yes, the default company for shipping is USPS, but the default company for insurance is some other company. Their fine print excludes coins, but...
People do sometimes claim that ICG grades coins higher than competitors, but I think they're well-trusted for authentication and...
Oh, they are, especially when silver is down in the dumps. When it's going up, or gone up, they're easier to move -- still not as easy as 90%, but...
I'd study that blob hard, comparing it to known good examples in low grades. I'd be tempted to send it in, myself -- unless @Insider or someone...
I never would've read it any other way if I hadn't seen your post.

They sure do. Most coin acceptors rely on the size, weight, and magnetic properties of a coin to determine whether it's acceptable or not. Silver...
You're confused about high and low relief Peace dollars. Read the discussion of high-relief 1922 Peace dollars more carefully. All 1921 Peace...
Well, there you go. What we have obviously can't be a "cent", since it contains nowhere near eleven (ahem) penny-weights of copper. Also, I'll...
Yep, the water's rising fast -- that poor eagle is already starting to go under!
Hmm. I still seem to have all my old feedbacks -- including several dozen I accumulated for a joke auction, back when anybody could leave feedback...
