Inquisitive - just keep this in mind, and you probably already know it but based on the wording of your post I just want to make sure. But when...
No spock I'm not OK with it, I would never even dream of doing such a thing. What I was replying to is that I have never said - "coins are AU MS...
It won't go CAM.
I can't even begin to guess with this one, let alone have an educated guess.
I wasn't confused Mike, I truly had no idea at all. I know absolutely nothing about the varieties.
You do it the same way you do with any coin, you weigh them, you measure them and you observe them. But unless you are really well versed with the...
If it were me I'd say it deserves a 50, but have no doubt they will grade it higher.
There's another point to consider regarding cracking it out, and it's one that many forget. If you ever go to sell that coin (in the holder it is...
Jeff - you also have to remember a couple of things about practices in the 19th century. For one coins were not withdrawn until they were worn so...
As you know I'm not a variety guy, but aren't all '18s N7's ?

Based on what I can see it is probably XF condition. But it may be a problem coin, I can't tell for sure based on the pics you have.
Depends on the grade of the Barbers. If they are so worn that the relief is reduced and that the rims are worn down they are going to be thinner....
Guy - you ever visit Tom Deck's web site ? It's not the grading set you'd like to see but he's got some pretty good stuff on his site....
Would not the same logic also apply if the marks were caused by rollers ? I mean if the rollers were able to create such marks on the planchet...
Yeah they do, but only for some things - like fire. And have you ever asked a bank what you have to go through to prove what you had in that box ?...
Yeah, however - you have to travel to the bank with the coins to even get them there. And they assume there will be travel from the bank to bring...
To be honest with you it's because of the past. And to a large extent it's specifically because of the 70 grade. Years ago it was extremely rare...
