64. The obverse and reverse spotting kill the grade. I also recommend you conserve that coin - it looks like organic debris (from a sneeze or...
Based on the letters, I can't go above G. But the coin has the look of a VG coin.
The first pictures show an AU details scratched (on the obverse). The second pictures show an AU details cleaned. Either way you slice it, the...
Thanks Ethan, I really appreciate the comments.
Alrighty, I think its time for the big reveal: NGC called this one MS-67 * PL, and CAC put a green bean on it. A couple of people came close,...
In Proof, in the condition and grade that this one is in, auction records show that it would be worth about 3x more as a proof than as a business...
Yes, they did mint proof trimes. The proof mintage was 550, so I am assuming there was only a single die pair used. A careful comparison of my...
There are a couple minor planchet flaws or strikethroughs. Below the D is one, and there are a couple tiny ones on the reverse. The two lines you...
I am not going to point out every difference, but there are a large number of things wrong with this one. Compare this coin to a genuine example...
I'm surprised it sold for that much. The coin is Chinese and was probably made in the last year. The slab is also fake.
I'd guess 64. That frosty luster is usually not well rewarded by the TPGs. With better pictures, I may revise my guess.
I saw this one recently, and the price was fair, so I picked it up. Trimes are Tiny! Take a guess at the grade, and I'll post my comments and the...
Hey all - got some great coins for you guys today. I have to sell these, because I just bought a really expensive coin and need the money - so I'm...
I know some people use the extension tubes, and they apparently work well. I haven't been impressed by the results people get by reversing the...
I'm torn between 63 and UNC details. Something feels off about the color.
DO NOT DO THIS WITH ANY COIN THAT HAS COLLECTOR VALUE. Jewelry wipes are impregnated with a compound called "rouge." This is an abrasive, and...
Yes, Heritage is notoriously slow. As a collector, that makes no difference at all. If I were a dealer, however, and this was for inventory,...
Looks nice. Congrats.
When you are deciding to build a set, look at what grade you can afford. Try to build a nice, well matched, eye appealing set at a price point...
If you need a microscope to see a variety, it isn't worth it.
