I'm fully aware of market grading, and all of its implications, Numismat. However, I personally do not grade that way. If there is wear, I'll call...
"Uncirculated" means no signs of wear. Either there is or there isn't - there is no in-between. On this particular coin, there is no wear - so it...
It doesn't matter who said it. I am usually going to believe the in-hand evaluation of the professional graders above the speculative...
No Doug, I still wouldn't say its corroded. The pictures you posted are blurry and wouldn't show a textured surface (I'm not familiar with the...
That's not the conclusion I would draw from this thread at all. And I will say that the price I paid at Heritage (competing with bidders who, I...
In hand, you would clearly see that there is no wear on either of these coins.
The black boxes (they are really more of a smokey grey - semi clear) are much older. The more modern ones are silver color. These are my preferred...
Mmmm.... PL gold. My favorite flavor! And your new cat is adorable. She just wants to help you pack! (and hopes you give her a '77 as a treat ;) )
Where? I see nothing.
The toning has the look of an MS-70'd coin. Some people like it, but it won't get into a TPG slab (anymore). It's not AT, per se, but has been...
What are we talking about here?
A what? CAM is for "cameo" and it is only for proofs. Proofs were not made in Denver (in 92, they were made in San Francisco). I have no...
Well, interesting results. Both of these came from Heritage, both of them are graded by NGC, and both of them are very attractive (and...
That doesn't look corroded, not at all. It's just an irregular (and somewhat unattractive) toning pattern. The rest of the coin looks to be of...
Not even close
If any of them are high grade (EF or higher), or rare varieties, consider sending them to get graded.
Based on your pictures, I have no idea how it got a 67. It may be different in hand.
It really depends on what your collecting goals are, what your budget is, and why its in the details slab. There are plenty of coins in these...
I'll give you a hint: what you guys are seeing as "wear" is actually called "high point pitting" due to an incomplete strike. The planchet doesn't...
When was this slabbed? It has the MS-70'd look that will bodybag nowadays. These were very popular a few years ago. And that spot throws it off...
Separate names with a comma.
