Just to compare, this coin did NOT get a 66 (twice): https://coins.www.collectors-society.com/WCM/CoinView.aspx?PeopleSetCoinID=1653904 Given the...
This question gets asked about once a week, it seems. Search the forums and you'll find plenty of answers. The choice of TPG is up to you, but I...
Do these usually come well struck/centered? That is a marvelous obverse.
I also use an Excel spreadsheet. It seems like it would be easy enough to add a location cell to each entry - drawer 3, column 4, row 7 (or...
Person A sends something in to be graded. It comes back less than they hoped for. Person A is forced to sell it for a loss to Person B, because...
Tricky with those pics, but I'll go 64? The mark on her neck really hurts it.
What is going on in the field behind his head? Something looks odd there, but it may just be the picture. I'm going to guess AU-58, based on the...

Doug, please read and think about what I wrote. The copper is uniformly distributed over the entire surface, 1000 atoms deep (and indeed,...
Titus Andronicus?
Ohh... I see a bit of fatigue "doubling", but nothing worth a premium.
I'm really confused? Are you in a foreign country, and you are excited because you found an American coin? Are you thinking it is silver? (it's...
What am I missing? I see a well circulated 1965 dime.
If a coin shows no signs of circulation wear, I really don't see why it wouldn't be graded as MS - ancient or modern. If the design is complete...
Well, let me break it down and tell you why you're wrong: a 90% gold coin is mixed by weight, not number of atoms. The atomic weight of gold is...
I am really only guessing based on the pictures, but: the very bright surfaces, which also appear rather smooth, tend to make me think its...
