I think part of the confusion is that NGC has labels saying "HARSHLY CLEANED", "IMPROPERLY CLEANED", "DAMAGED, CLEANED", "DAMAGED, IMPROP CLEANED"...
Nice "before-and-after" images, given the constraint that none of us have a way to get actual before-and-afters on the same coin for something...
If you're starting with the Franklin design, there's just not much detail to show, no matter if you strike a hundred times. High on my personal...
Ha. Fat chance. He's back today with THREE listings, including another spaghetti-hair Cleveland commem. I'm going to try the "report seller" path,...
I know one Star Trek: The Next Generation character who would disagree. Sorry, wrong thread. The "tail" on the Q here looks like some sort of...
I think this is the point where, if we had more than a scant few female members, we'd see at least one pithy response. Perhaps something along the...
The problem for this issue, of course, is that you really want to see the lack of a mint mark -- and unfortunately, on this coin, you apparently...
Well, it's interesting -- he'd been listing items daily for weeks, but tonight, the cupboard is apparently bare. I did leave feedback yesterday...

I wonder if that sale actually went through. The seller moves a lot of CBHs, and seems to know how they're priced. I don't see feedback for that...
24mg is very close to a dollar's worth of gold. A DOLLAR'S WORTH. Generously caked onto a HALF dollar! Imagine the value! ($1.50, for those who...
I'd love to hear the rest of that story... :)
I got all my "eye-rolling" out of the way with the Baseball HOF "gimmick" coins. Having then watched what those coins did in the aftermarket,...
If I only count premium over bullion value, probably $100 or so -- whatever the premium was on the First Spouse I bought directly from the mint in...
Probably because mintages were HUGE. 1964-dated coins were struck well into 1965. I don't have references handy, but I've read that the total...
Why not? Because it would cost tens of dollars to obtain that expert opinion, and there's no chance of a favorable outcome.
But what would you use to pay for them?
But you get another chance! Incredibly, the seller has apparently found another of the incredibly rare "Spaghetti Hair" Cleveland commems, and so...
