I concur. A broadstrike or an off-center will affect both sides equally. A misaligned die will only affect one side. These are incredibly common,...
I feel like I'm peering through a (fuzzy) glass darkly. How does it look face to face?
The incontrovertible fact of the matter is, PCGS and NGC have different requirements for their strike designations. NGC is universally stricter -...
That is an unusually colorful Peace. Congrats on the newp!
I am surprised they stickered a chopped coin. I didn't know they did that.
You are on a roll here, LordM!
I'm perplexed by this one. My first reaction was some sort of machine doubling that has an unusual appearance.
I'm a bit late, but I was at 40.
I don't think the 2 cent pieces are usually counterfeited. And what damage are you seeing beyond the rim bump?
There are some gorgeous coins in this thread.

I guessed 65. Buffs are hard to grade, and toned buffs are even harder. That's an unusually attractive one, congrats!
For the benefit of all of us, can someone please post the red flags you see on this coin?
I think the lighting of the pictures is throwing me off. It looks nice, but I'm not seeing any luster. A coin of this grade needs to have good...
The second one could be Unc. 1 and 3 are AU, the fourth is EF.
That looks like an amazing set. Can't wait to watch you build it!
I don't see a mintmark. They are usually obvious. The coin is high enough grade that, if there was one, it should be there. If it is a...
That picture is too hard to judge from. However, the rule of thumb is - if a contact mark interrupts the step, it's not a full step. Same with...
Perhaps I used a bit of hyperbole, but there's a grain of truth there. Their standards are universally more lax than NGC's. However, can you...
I guarantee if you post a 63 Bust coin, you'll have guesses between EF and 66. Moderns are far easier to grade, because they are far more...
