Before you can say it would grade, you have to determine the die variety and see if it is a late die state. If it isn't, and the flatness is post...
Thank you. How do you know that " Marcus Aurelius" is part of his name when it is not listed as such?
I have been trying to read my Roman coins, which always a challenge for me since I have no talent for foreign languages whatsoever. I took one...
The alternative was that Kennedy would have replaced Washington on the quarter, but Mrs. Kennedy vetoed that idea.
It looks like machine doubling to me because the "second nose" looks flat and "benchy." Since it's really marked up, it's only worth 50 cents.
It can't grade any higher than MS-63 because of the big mark in the right obverse field. Given the many marks on the body, it might be an MS-62....
As we all know, modern British kings and queens don't have much say in the political policies and issues that face the country. They are now no...
I see an AU-58 that ends up in an MS-62 holder. The MS-64 grade is ridiculous, but it’s not surprising. When I was a dealer, I saw the worst, must...
This Greg Weinman has been a government employee for all of his professional career. Do you really think you are going to get any objective...
I have been an admirer of King George VI, who is Queen Elizabeth II's father, since I started to collect British coins and saw the film "The...

I have found the grading services to be very inconsistent in the way they grade this coin. Part of the trouble is that the coin did not strike up...
I would say somewhere in the AU-55 neighborhood.
If you want a quickie beginner’s lesson on artificially toned coins, look at the previous post. Some people actually like that CRA ... sort of...
Yes, it's an AU. Getting an example of this date and mint mark combition in a Mint State holder is like walking on water. AUs are common; Mint...
I am afraid that I am not nearly as focused as you are. I collected Indian cents and type coins when I was in high school in the 1960s. My...
The sharpness is in the AU range, but the spots and possible cleaning take it down to EF-40 from the pricing perspective. There is only die Cohen...
Only the reverse is “a toner.” The obverse is white.
No, only ONE William II. The first one helped finance the second one.
The William II, or "Rufus" penny is a lot tougher than the William I coin. Getting a William I coin mostly takes money. You have to wait in line...
