That's the oft repeated mantra. However, try it for yourself. I've used cotton swab (Q-Tips) on proof Kennedy's and Sacagaweas, with absolutely...
CAC does not consider the plus at all when evaluating for the sticker. A 66 and a 66+ are both evaluated as a 66. The plus and the sticker...
The reason for explaining is because now I care a whole lot more about the coins. They mean something. Before, they were just random pictures of...
It has been harshly polished, which hurts any grade or value, but it is still a cool coin.
Oooh, both of those are nice. Finding well struck, perfectly centered, problem free examples is difficult, even though owls are seemingly a dime a...
No, that is not a good assumption at all. In reality, the Plus means very little. It might get a small premium over the average grade, but not...
Thanks for the compliments! :)
This is primarily seen on late die stage coins. It is less common on Walkers because they are thick coins, but this is an example of "ghosting" or...
If it has been in PCGS plastic since 2006, that has apparently not stopped the toning. There's been a big change between your 2006 pics and your...
Don't know how often you watch ebay sales, but it is quite common for coins to "sell" and then appear on another account a week or two later.
Lets hope that it has stopped toning. It appears to be attractive secondary toning after a dip which wasn't stabilized (probably in the late...
I think we can all agree that @Lehigh96 is the expert on Jeffersons. I wonder what he grades this coin? I know that in the past, he and I have...
Well that's a wide variety. Tell us about these coins - what they are, and why you bought them. Are they part of a set you're building? Or did...
Where do you see wear on this coin?
The whole point of a shill is that the shill is working for the seller (or is a second account of the seller). If the shill wins, they just cancel...
Those scratches will give it a details grade. It looks like someone took some sandpaper to it to try to wear it down faster. I'd say try to smooth...
Anything prooflike ;) But, because I'm starting to hit a wall with the prooflike types, I've been working on my set of Moroccan coinage. As for...
Drastic jumps in the bid price isn't necessarily a sign of shill bidding. It could just be two buyers who escalate the price. If a coin starts at...
That reverse is killer. I'm not a huge fan of the spottiness on the left of the obverse, but that reverse is unusually attractive. I'm at a soft...
That is an unusual look for a Walker! Very nice. I'll grade it 65, mostly because of some pretty good sized hits on the obverse. The luster also...
