I know the excitement can be overwhelming, but sometimes, patience is the best course of action.
To be clear - it is most likely *not* the gold toning, but rather the copper and silver alloy which is reacting to form the colors. I've never...
Both appear nice. The first coin appears lustrous, but the mark on his nose and the mark on his cheek are fairly severe. Is that a die break or a...
Very interesting and illuminating graphs, Mr. Coin.
I really have no idea what the actual numbers would be. I do know that off-center coins with a recognizable date are more desirable (for the...
We can absolutely guess the grade without a slab. We just can't compare our guesses to any reference. That being said, I'd call this EF details,...
This coin appears to be an AU, which has been dipped, improperly rinsed, and is retoning afterwards. The discoloration and flatness on her cheek...
Looks nice, congrats. I'm also in the VF-30 camp.
1. BD? 2. As a novice, are you joking or serious about the covellite? If it is that, is this a common occurence? If it is rare, is it possibly...
Almost certainly cleaned. The color does not look right - at the center, or around the edges. To be fair, you also appear to have a white...
I don't see anything in the pictures that is an immediate red flag - but those are terrible pictures. Based on what I can see, I'd tentatively...
It looks to be a weakly struck AU. The pictures are a little hard to interpret, but I think there should be more hair detail for the amount of...
Your coin appears to be a heavily worn example of a normally struck coin. It is not a broadstrike.
If I had to guess, I'd say you got it for that price because it is not actually EF - it is VF-30 at best. It is attractive and doesn't have any...
Lets be generous and say that's about a 30 degree arc, in the k5 position. Given that a circle has 360 degrees, there's about a 1:12 chance that...
Sure, there may have been a bill. But there is absolutely zero chance of it happening. So the fact that it is happening would be a rumor.
That is a rumour. It is a silly rumour, but its the stuff of numis-myth and legend.
Do you have before and after pictures to prove/illustrate that? I personally have submitted about a dozen coins to NCS and have been well pleased...
Haha. Hahahaahahah. Hahahaahahaha. Oh, that's a good one.
Yes, the 1943D usually comes well struck. And yes, that coin is a typical example of the date. And yes, that would be considered a Full Thumb example.
