The coin might have been cleaned. I don't like the look of the surfaces in the photo, and the "rust" under the bison's belly is usually better...
I sold that 1903 some years ago. I think that it was an MS-64. NGC graded this one as an MS-65. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A screaming AT coin and a shocking price.
I vote counterfeit. Unless it’s the photo, everything about the details of the design appear to be a bit off. The over her ear looks to be too...
Fremont ran for president twice. The first time, in 1856, he was the first Republican presidential candidate. Like all 19th century presidential...
It’s really impossible to give you an accurate answer to a question like this from photographs. The grading gets to be so precise when you get to...
The “melt value” is not a floor because it costs money to recover the metal. In other words, the aggregate demand for the coin itself is not...
It looks to be a nice AU. I would hesitate to buy anything that does not have a photo of the reverse. Generally the reverse comes along for the...
These coins are similar to many date and mint mark combinations of Morgan silver dollars. Once they fall below Mint State, the values plummet....
I would say genuine and Fine-12. If it has been cleaned, it doesn’t matter. It’s a good “album collection” type coin.
Hi Chris, Sure, you can use the photos. I have another one in a dealer’s prepackaged set that might be nicer. I will have look at it. Don’t hold...
The grading services are into grade-flation to stimulate the flagging market for their product. In the more honest, older days, a coin that graded...
Well you when get a chance to buy one of those specimen Churchill crowns, let me know, “grasshopper.” When I was in London, the dealers made it...
Sorry, they are not “fun coins;” they are garbage. It’s just the Chinese, muling obverse and reverse dies that don’t belong with each other...
That would be a Churchill Crown. They are quite common and retail for about $3. They have been de-monetized and have no face value.
Looks like something from the Seated Dollar sets the Chinese marketed a decade or so ago. The “CC” mint mark is a sure fire sight that this one is...
Genuine but cleaned. Here is a tip. If you want coins to be authenticated, shoot the photo straight on, not at an angle. Angle shots are one of...
I have been a collector for 60 years. I have literally bought and millions of dollars worth of coins. I live quite well without “monster toners”...
They also used them on the 1916 octagonal and round Pan-Pac $50 gold coins.
I agree. As a circulating coin, the half dollar is dead, and the Kennedy coin killed it. When I was kid, I used to get half dollars in...
