Just wait. In 20 years when the kids start seeing state quarters for the first time, we're going to get a hundred questions a day about these...
63 65 Sort of perplexed why you submitted the Kennedy?
50 35?
I really only go to one coin show a year - the annual winter FUN. Over the years, I have developed a group of fellow collectors that I call...
What is this "Limited Edition" stuff? Is that like Early Release?
The absolute best choice for the first couple of weeks is to buy a few books. While you are reading them and learning, save your money. When you...
There are two benefits, really: 1.) Sharing your collection easily with your friends. I only participate in teh NGC registry, because they...
Yes, actually. That is precisely the point of the TPGs (or, that has been a significant result of them).
I agree. I think the mark on the eagle's wing is what brings this one down. If the pictures are an accurate representation of the quality of...
I'd split grade it 61/63. The obverse usually carries it, so its probably a 61 - but if I liked it enough in hand I could see it as a low end 62.

An old cleaning that may be considered acceptable on a Morgan would probably be considered unacceptable on a Franklin - even if they were done at...
As long as people keep buying them, the RCM is going to keep pumping them out. Not a fan myself, but I don't like bullion/NCLT.
I'd probably put that coin at mid-VF details, but the corrosion really hurts it. Assuming its a common variety, a couple of bucks is probably...
Without a question, these come from 2 different dies. I was going to suggest the very same thing, as soon as I saw Kurt's first post... and then I...
I *STRONGLY* dislike holed coins. Holed coins are worse than polished, cleaned, scraped, or bruised coins, or almost any other problem you can...
Yup, this one has been mangled.
Your best bet would be to compare your coin to completed sales of similar coins. Check the Heritage archives.
Oh, haha.... I don't even go to the "Error" subforum anymore, because it is ridiculous. Reading an actual book about errors should be mandatory...
These were made in 1822. I'd grade this one EF, based on the amount of detail not there, and the lack of any sort of luster. I know they are...
