I went to PCGS CoinFacts where they show photos of some of the 67RD 1957 cents. I don’t feel the OP’s coin is out of line with them....
Not sure. If you look at the animation you’ll see the same effect at the 3:00 to 6:00 positions, where it looks like there’s an extra rounded...
Good point. I forgot that insane Franklin sale recently - admittedly an extreme case. The OP’s coin has some toning I really like on a Lincoln,...
The 1950’s are really interesting for grading. If you send in a coin and it grades top pop, the coin sells in a registry set marketplace and...
These vary widely, without having the benefit of careful selection like yours. Around 2033 people will start realizing nobody saved the nice...
I recently posted this in another thread, but I guess I'll just post it again because I think the 12-sided tombac coin is really cool. I have this...
Wow. With those smooth fields and sharp features people may forget how many of these look like this, or worse. Nice example. [ATTACH]
Let's look closely at the shape of the numerals. [ATTACH] The green arrow points to a flattened area. You can see that the bottom edge of that...
You have captured my reasoning exactly. I reviewed the seller’s other offerings and he has a number of similar Morgans. I suspect he’s trying to...
The coin has arrived and this is what it's like - a 1944-S Mercury for $7.95. Does anyone else think that mint mark looks upside down? [ATTACH]
My parents’ birth year! [ATTACH] (Needs a new animation, but this is accurate.)
Great analysis and a good aid to understanding how such different coins - all of the same year and mint - can have the same grade. I am glad I had...
I think I undergrade Morgans because I like clean surfaces but most Morgans don’t have them and don’t get penalized for it. I started at MS 63*...
I agree that some GTG threads seem to be about coins that the poster feels are misgraded, and might like a second opinion. In this case the...
I’ve been looking for my first toned Morgan. This 1879 fit the bill for just $25. [ATTACH] Seller's photos are a lot more saturated - but you...
In the blue photo you can see that the depression still contains the original dings, dents, and marks from rolling, punching, washing, and...
Cleaning with soap and water is never recommended, except perhaps by metal detectorists who have a coin of low value that is encrusted with dirt...
I have already gotten another 44-S from the same dealer for less. Watch this space next week and we'll see how that turns out. Seller's photo....
Maybe this 1944-S Mercury was not really a steal at $13.20. [ATTACH] In the seller's photo that cow patty in her hair looked like a shadow. It...
Here we have an 1884 Indian Head cent to go along with the 1884-O Morgan from post #24630. Lots of deep red, purple, and blue on this one. [ATTACH]
