Yes, all die struck coinage should exhibit luster. Some designs make it hard to see, but a Peace dollar should absolutely show the cartwheel...
Cool coins in this thread. I really wouldn't call them "errors" - just crudely made.
I used to own several of these. Yours appears to be mid-circulated grade (I would agree with your F/VF assessment), but yours has unfortunately...
Really cool medal. I love the modern update of the classic Roman motif. Here's the exact same design, 2000 years older: [ATTACH]
If the folks didn't stick every single one in their mouths and "bite" them (spitting on them in the process, of course), they'd be less likely to...
Think of TruView like the shots you see of beautiful women in magazines - if you met them in real life, sure, they'll be very attractive, but they...
While I don't see the wear in the photographs, I'm also not really familiar with this series. These aren't the best pictures, and telling AU vs MS...
I have submitted corrections to Krause in the past, and I've noticed that my corrections were included in later revisions. I've submitted...
Yes, that was my first thought as well. A lot of the European mints over the last few decades have put out some very simple coinage. Here's a...
While I'm a tad late, I guessed 65 with a shot at 66 if the luster is strong. I don't really see any major contact marks, and the toning adds...
Good afternoon! Today, I have a nice assortment of coins for every collector. Prices are flexible, so please make an offer! Paypal preferred,...
Like I said, just throwing out ideas. Not necessarily advocating for it, merely pondering.
The Star applied to NGC coins can be a little bit confusing to beginners, but it can be a useful tool. First, it is applied to coins with...
I have seen PCGS AU PL Morgans. PCGS only designates Morgans as PL, though, and would not have designated this Columbian as PL. Congrats on...
Thanks! My pictures really don't show the quality of this coin. PL coins must be experienced in hand.
There is a widespread theory that PCGS coins sell for more. NGC did not actually call this PL (an absolutely ridiculous mistake, which would have...
You are correct - PCGS only designates PL on Morgans. There are a few exceptions to this, but that's the general rule. The problem with PL gold...
Saw this little sparkler the other day. Had to have it. Now its mine. This coin is in a PCGS holder, but there is absolutely no doubt that this...
I appreciate the suggestion. NNP was one of the first places I tried. Obviously, a famous collector like Pittman will have a number of hits.......
Yes, those are in fact the coins I'm looking for. They were sold on Heritage yesterday. The reason I'm asking for historical information on them...
