No.
Can't say for sure based on your pics. I can tell you that there are known fakes for this date and mint. In fact, that is the one and only coin...
If the coin is genuine, and I do have my doubts that it is genuine, it could only get into a Genuine or a Details slab due to the rim damage in...
Looks like a die chip to me.
Howdy Julian - There's going to be a bit of a range on that coin and the price will depend on how nice it is for the grade. Range could be from...
Unless I'm misreading something, the OP is. To be honest I don't know if they are removed by mechanical means or by hand. I just know that they...
I dunno about the '78 - maybe somebody tried an eraser or something on it, but it doesn't really look like eraser marks. But it does look like...
Not all marks or flaws are contact marks. They can be caused by a piece of dust or a speck of dirt or lint that drifts onto the planchet right...

Yup.
We've been seeing it for years, parts of it anyway. But perhaps not everybody is aware of it. The mint has been coating the small dollar coins for...
Yeah, but there are no hard and fast rules Thad. There are examples of coins that are every bit as blue as any ever treated with MS70, and those...
It's pretty simple - I see wear on the high points of both the coins.
It depends on the specific set you are talking about. Some sell for about the same price with or without original packaging while others will sell...
True story, years ago they slabbed them everyday. Today they only slab some of them. It's the same problem that it has always been - there is no...
Not that many years ago NGC came out with a new and improved slab that they advertised as being airtight. Of course it cost extra for these slabs....
Dunno, maybe. But to my knowledge nobody has ever made a crimping head that will fit Morgan dollar rolls.
