A small mistake in that video - Issac Newton did not invent coin reeding. Reeding was in fact invented in France in the same year that Issac...
Excellent post Jason. However, I would still question how you define technical grading. I submit to you that what you call technical grading -...
Only problem is that coin is not "snow white" - it's toned.
Yes, as I said it should grade 64.
What there's a market for are coins that many collectors don't even realize are problem coins. They pay full retail for a coin with that old,...
The Walkers and SLQs are less scarce than some other coins, quite true. But nowhere near as scarce as rainbow toned Peace dollars. There is no...
If a Lincoln was rubbed with an eraser - 200 years later it would still be a problem coin. Once a problem coin - always a problem coin. There is...
Easy answer - it's because the '80-O in 65 is something of a condition rarity and the other two are not. The '80-S in 65 is even very common. In...
It's not gold. That was one of the final designs submitted by private mints to the US Mint for the small dollar. The Sacky won and that one lost.
That about 3 or 4 years ago the TPGs relaxed their grading standards across the board. Example - 63s became 64s, 65s became 66s & some even became...

It depends largely on the who the dealer is that you are asking. Think about it for a minute - where do you think all the fake coins out there...
Sometimes without specialized equipment you can't tell, that is the point that was being made. But consider this - of all raw coins, regardless...
Sulphur of course.
Yes it does, and those look completely normal. But can you not see the difference between this coin and the other ? On this coin the circular...
Your purchase price makes me very, very suspicious. Post pics of it when you get it.
It was one of the pattern designs submitted by a private mint to the US Mint for the new small dollar coin. The Sacky beat that one out if you can...
Oh he's just one of the local guys around here that is goo-goo gaa-gaa crazy for toned coins. And if he sees that green - I wouldn't leave him...
Looks like the real deal to me. And you better hope Lehigh doesn't find that thing. That green is tough to find :secret:
I'll agree there are sometimes circles or spots in the toning, but not like that. And usually there are a bunch of them. Post some pics of what...
