Just got this coin raw for a steal of a deal. I'm quite sure its been dipped, but the surfaces look alright - no hairlines or anything major. It's...
I agree Krispy!
Looks like a borderline EF, net VF
I would definitely recommend getting the 4th edition of the Parsley (formerly Overton) book. It was updated and a lot of things were added. But a...
Come on, you're throwing softballs First one looks like a nice VF O-105 R1. Second is an AU O-112a R2. Nice busties :)
Got more close-up pics? How is the strike on this baby? The luster sure looks nice!

Poor coin looks to have some environmental damage. I'm not sure its worth sending to NCS, but something should be done to try and rescue that...

Nothing wrong with that. I like it!
Can I say everything after 1964? I would say everything that replaced the Renaissance series as well, but I do like the Franklin. And I hate all...
For most errors, if you can't see it with a 5x magnifier, its not worth it. And the good ones will be immediately obvious that something is different.
