A general sentiment, I'm sure.
Here are photos of the coin outside the 2x2. You can see it much better now, and the rim is clearer. The obverse and reverse are normally aligned,...
Guess the grade AND date/mintmark is even more fun.
It is US quarter size, so it's a sixpence then? Nice, thanks!
Hi, Could anyone help me with what the real identity and denomination of this coin is? It's difficult to read because of wear, but hopefully...
That's true about the upper rims - on both sides. Plus, on the reverse there is what appears to be a die crack over the E in "ONE".
Hi, I have this 1857 dime with some really spectacular details but, as you can see in the scans (which I made sure captured the brightness levels...
If you're referring to the white-ish spots down the center of the coin, that is on the plastic of the 2x2. I'll ask a local dealer about that for...
I know that pre-1982 cents aren't layered, it just looked more like that to me because of the way the copper remains on the high points. I suppose...

Here are the 1914-D cents.
Hi, I've been a long-time reader of the forum and have held an interest in numismatics for quite a while and am really just now beginning to...
What do you think this 1936-D cent has been through? Both sides have the same effect.
You could establish a "private key"-type system. Future coins sent in for authentication are provided a private registration number that is...
Same here, and I agree. Thanks for the clarification - so it's not *really* the case that market grading is a fine adjustment, it could be but it...
This will serve to undermine confidence in online selling. Especially if the labels get better and you have more of a proliferation of unauthentic...
Sorry for bringing up an old post... Given the discussion here, would it be safe to characterize technical vs. market grading as: Technical grade...
I recently received in change a 1963 $1 in reasonable condition - most bizarre thing I've seen in my change in a while. Worth a solid $1 and a...
