Consigning the slabbed coins to Heritage or another auction house is probably the best way to go. Don't expect to get much for the modern stuff...
On that you are mistaken, silver most definitely corrodes. Any toning is a very mild form, the very beginnings if you will, of corrosion. But once...
The intials of the Presidents.
Measure the diamter of the coin, see if it is just a bit narrower than normal.
LOL !! - never even thought about it. I only browsed thru the first page when looking for examples, figured 2 was enough so I quit. That'll teach...
Howdy dlnb - Welcome too the Forum !! It is most likely that you have an ordinary coin that has been plated - they are very common.
Just for your own knowledge, slipped die is the seller's way of saying mechanical doubling without really saying it in the hope that someone would...
Die chip.

Good examples that help make your case Mike, that makes this a tough one. Especially since I have a couple that help make mine. We may have to...
Not gonna say it's impossible, but it seems unlikely to me in this case. Yes the high point of the reverse is just above the shield. But look at...
Yes they probably would, but does that mean it's worth it ? No, it doesn't. It merely means that somebody doesn't know any better.
Not a die clash. And yes, damage would be my opinion.
No, the buyer pays Heritage 15% over and above the final bid price. The seller receives the final bid price minus the seller percentage ( last...
Read this again ! Then read it one more time so you remember it. And in case you still don't understand it - this means that in the event that...
If you mean the very last picture - absolutely not !!
I'd grade it VF30, there's just too much wear - half the lines in the reverse shield are worn smooth. However, I figure that NGC graded it XF45....
