Did you read the comment I said huh to ?
Which is precisely why magnification of no higher than 5x should be used when grading. The pictures posted greatly exaggerate the flaws on the coin.
And folks, Proofs are not graded the same way that business strikes are graded. Yes, you use the same criteria - quality of luster, quality of...
Huh ?
Definitely love token.
I've been pluggin JP's for as long as I have been in Coin Talk. Can't find a better place in my opinion ;)
In general, strike isn't as weak as many people think. There are quite a few date/mint combinations in the series that are known for being well...
How about me ? I don't own a single coin, except for the ones in my change jar. I'm not a collector at all, haven't been for 6 years now. But I'd...

How do you define a sleeper ? Most people would respond along these lines - it's a coin that you think will appreciate in value. OK, but there is...
Well, first of all you have to realize that you are not grading what it used to be, you are grading what it has become. It is a token, nothing...
I see nothing that NCS could help. And I don't think NGC or PCGS would slab the '14-D other than a Genuine or Details slab. Other than that I...
Not at all. The person who won the coin in the auction does not have to do anything. It is merely an option that Heritage offers to those who...
What about 1953, 1973, 1993 ? Or 1853, 1833, 1813, 1793 ?
You're right, you can. But only if, and that's a big IF, you buy at the right time, and you sell at the right time. Be wrong on either one and you...
For the coin you are talking about I see no reason to buy a 69 or a 70 either one. Just buy the coin raw and enjoy it. It's no different than the...
