Quite often gold is not affected by being immersed in salt water. But you make a valid point. It's the same old question - is conserving the same...
I gotta go with 64 on this one. The '79-S is typically found very nice and if compared to another date and mint of the same grade the 79-S will...
Ms 64.
Post some links to specific examples of what you mean. We'll go from there ;)
I'd say 64 RB.
The mint strikes as many coins as they think they are going to need based on a report given to them by the Federal Reserve a few months in...
Because the rims are so badly worn I don't think it should grade more than VG8.
It's not that hard to understand really. Just about anyone who buys a coin wants to be able to expect to sell it for a small profit if the need...
Coins like this provide a good learning experience for all of us so I am tickled to death to have folks post them. Telling an AU58 from an MS60/61...
It's a ducaton, issued by the Spanish Netherlands KM #64 - 32.4800 gm - struck in .9440 silver - ASW .9858 oz. The 1670 thru '73 are the least...
Not at all Speedy - I think it looks like damage. I was merely trying to explain, with a comaprison, as to how the letters could still be there....
I too would say 65, even giving benefit of the doubt to luster. And even though PCGS says 66, I think they overgraded it by 1.
Cloud I have no problem with anyone ordering early, used to do it myself when I collected them. And if you are looking for errors, your logic may...
Wyatt lemme ask you - what's going on in the fields of that coin ? It's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it's seen some rough handling...
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think for one minute the coin is circulated. My point is that I don't how ANACS will grade these coins now that...
But Cloud, you say you order first strike ASEs - what makes you think the coins you are getting are first strikes ? There is absolutely no reason...
Let me start off by saying that I readily agree that one service is tougher on some coins than the other. In some cases it's NGC that is tougher,...
I agree, especially on the reverse. And that's probably why the coin was dipped - to remove whatever was causing the corrosion. I don't know...
I think the obverse makes F12 but the reverse ? About half the wheat lines need to be visible at the top for F12 and it doesn't look like they are...
You can try this for starters - Click Here But there is so much to learn about Mo0rgans that you will never find it all on one site. As has been...
