I agree with zinc rot on the cent. Roughly when were these charge tokens in use?
Yeah, $30 apiece is probably about right for uncertified notes. The $80 prices are for high-grade certified notes.
I thought the gold bean meant they thought it was undergraded by at least one grade. So, it could be undergraded by 2 grades, I suppose.
Cool. Looks like everybody who guessed 65 or 66 was partially correct, in a sense. :) I love the design of these coins. I need to hunt down one...
Beautiful collection. :)
I'd just leave it in there and sell it to someone else for a little profit. I don't think it's possible to remove the coin without serious damage.
Low. Very low.
66 all around.
Which one of those results in a 1970-S proof quarter being overstruck on a 1941 Canadian quarter? :P
Most commonly, I think it would be from being underground or underwater. It could also be a bad cast fake (good cast fakes will not show this...
I don't like much about it. The toning is meh, and this is a pretty common coin. I'd wait for a better example to come around, because one will...
Given that they straight graded it, I'm seeing a 65 that got dinged to 64 for the scratch. Final answer: 64.
I think there's just as high a chance that if you were selling and I were in the market for one of these that I'd pay MS65 money for it in the...
100% natural album toning, MS66.
I am shocked at a 69. The coin probably shows much better in hand than in the photos, and I wouldn't have been too surprised at a 66-67, but 69...
I guess my first question would be: premium over what? If it's an auction situation, you're only going to pay $X if someone else was willing to...
Definitely depends on what you're selling. If you're selling a collection of Seated dimes, Gerry Fortin might be a great choice.
It depends on what it's been exposed to and for how long. Clad coins will turn a tan color, then go to darker browns.
Not an error. It's environmental damage. The clad layer will take on brownish/tan colors when it tones. This is an end stage version of it.
I'm going with 64. I suspect the surfaces are worthy of a 65, but the unique toning (which I kind of like, but definitely doesn't add to the...
