Those all say exactly what they are and where they are from. The only ones that might be tricky are "Osterreich" = Austria and "Deutschland" =...
Is this a copper coin? The dark spots on the reverse concern me - I would evaluate for potential environmental damage. In the American grading...
Between the negative eye appeal of the obverse and the lamination on the reverse, this coin will definitely not CAC.
Actually, no. For a coin to be graded, it has to have a readable date, or be a readily identifiable one-year type. This coin would be bodybagged.
No, it will be automatically designated on coins which deserve it. It works just like any of these designations (FT, FH, CAM, etc). Brandon,...
Die polish is perfectly market acceptable because it is a mint made effect. The same is true for die adjustment marks, for the same reason. They...
Some nice coins. I'll just add - the DDO/RPD on the 1867 in the first post is not actually. That is machine doubling - note the flat, shelf-like...
The 1859 in the OP looks to be high enough grade that the appearance of it does not automatically indicate cleaned to me. The pictures aren't...
That's a pretty significantly doubled die. I like it!
I agree. Completely unrelated - Skip Fazzari is a pretty cool dude. I've been to a couple of his lectures at the FUN show, and they are always...
Let's avoid the personal attacks and focus on the logical, documented evidence. We're here to talk about coins, not attack people.

Hey, to each his own. That's the beauty of this hobby - collect what you like, and in the end it doesn't really matter what I think.
I don't know if its AT or NT, but its ugly and not market acceptable. That's all you really need to know.
Because I am familiar with the appearance of die polish. The prooflike coins of the mid 20th century are characterized by strong die polish - this...
Per usual, there is nothing I can say that will convince you to change your mind. Thus, I'm not going to waste my time.
We will help as much as we can. For grading, I've found that this website is often pretty good: http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Lincoln/Grades...
Because they are raised from the fields and devices. Both of these coins are slabbed by NGC as MS-65 PL. Please tell me what makes you think they...
It doesn't look like there is enough activity for individual subforums. Better to have one diverse, active forum than a half dozen semi-dead forums.
I have at least half a dozen coins which prove you wrong. But, I'll just post these two, in addition to the Grant posted above: [IMG] [IMG]
