Yes, this is known as Longacre Doubling. It is extremely common on coins of this era, and carries no premium. It is a result of punching the...
I realize that this is "trendy" and "cool". However, it's also extremely foolish, for a couple of reasons: 1. Many places have no idea what to...
Glad you had a good time! I wouldn't expect to find many ancients at a small local show like this. While ancients are popular and widely collected...
I'm not convinced that there is wear on the OP's coin. I think it is suffering from poor photos. I know the TPGs mess up, but you're saying it...
Very nice! Can you narrow down that last picture to just MM position #4? I don't think it is any of the others, but I think that obverse 4 matches...
I understand that those 2 are the key dates, but having them in slabs while the rest of the set was in that nice album would drive me crazy! I...
I would imagine it would be graded just like any other wear. The plating is so thin that any circulation will start to remove it. It's odd that...
There's a difference between "cold, hard reality" and "raging asshole." You've been leaning hard to one side lately. I've put you on block for 6...

Very nice set! I like how well matched they all in terms of grade and color. Very attractive. It's also really cool that you were able to find...

Well, I significantly overpaid at $440. I think I agree with most of your guesses that today this coin should be around $350. I think @Lehigh96...
I guess I don't know how the PCGS census works differently, then. I don't go over there.
Strike. Luster. Wear. Eye Appeal. Surface Preservation. If you understand these 5 basic building blocks, you will be able to grade any coin. In...
If you go to each coin's page in the Coin Explorer, they've got pictures linked from the Registry. If you go to the certification verification,...
Kurt. Seriously dude. Say it nicely, or shut up.
Sounds like you are paying a fair price for a great coin, Marco. Congrats. Selling to a collector is always going to net a higher price,...
Haha, I saw that this morning. While he certainly engages in some numismyth, it's still entertaining. And it's cool that he's a collector. Maybe...
@ilmcoins Is it possible to get more pictures of the coin? I think that we've got enough to say this is worth submitting, but some apparently...
