I see now. He no longer owns that set. That is just an historical record of his set from 2003. Then, yes, your photo's follow the certification...
One problem with that theory - NGC registry will only allow each individual coin to be owned by one person at a time. When I buy a coin that...
How about a strike through? A previous coin had a piece (separated lamination?) fall off and was retained in the die for the next (this coin) strike.
That was my first impression also, but when I looked closer, that is a hair (or dust) above the "S" that makes it look like a depression around...
good one!
That is what it costs to reholder the coin, but you have to pay shipping also, or more aptly put, it will cost you about $30 to ship it both ways...
Sorry, but you are tilting at windmills for the most part. 1909-S VDB - authentic obverse #3. N and VDB are correct. "1922 No D Plain Lincoln...
Welcome to CT. Enjoy your stay. Is it authentic? It appears to be. You might check here http://www.cointalk.com/t78043/, but your VDB, MM...
See http://www.cointalk.com/t48768/. BTW, he had better luck than I.
You did not get any super bargain. The cheapest Heritage has sold lately (9/2007) was $410 and it was badly scratched. That ought to be...
With the coin in that bad a shape, it is going to be difficult to tell any more. However, any good dealer could tell more in hand. As for die...
I looks to me like it may be inverted, but I am not the MM expert. Look here; http://lincolncentresource.com/San_Fransisco_Mintmark_Styles.html....
It appears to be real to me. The N in UNITED appear correct, the VDB seems OK, and the S looks like obverse #4. It is damaged, but real. It...
I see nothing to tell me it is counterfeit, but not enough for me to say it is real either. You need to post some pictures of the entire coin....
My father was a collector, Beginning in the 30's I believe. He never found a 14-D. I had a friend who was into collecting, probably not as...
He was talking about a roll with a 1914-D on one end and a 1909-S on the other - both face out. In the 50's when I started collecting, I probably...
But, if those two coins are real, they are worth more than $280 - barring damaged reverses. Notice my sentence starts with an "IF".
Here is one I got from Heritage. The coin I got cheaper than I figured. I still don't know why. The color was just a bonus. I suspected there...
You need to write the Red Book and tell them there is only ".7734" ounce of silver in the silver dollar and then tell coinflation that "Dec 04,...
Don't read more into my post that a definition of what Ripley was trying to suggest. I am not recommending that you try electrolysis nor am I...
