All I see is a little strike doubling.
Honestly, I can't really tell. The mottled toning kind of turns me off on this coin. Iowa halves typically run fairly high on the grading scale,...
I'm sorry to hear this. I can't really "like" a post like this, so I'll share this little bit of info instead. My family basically tolerated my...
That antimony test strike is definitely way better than the 43 bronze and 44 steel. I like patterns a lot more than errors as a general rule. :)
There are a couple of dealers I see regularly at local shows who I have literally told that if I ever became a billionaire, I would clean clean...
It's delaminating before our very eyes! ;)
What about them is BS? I haven't checked the cert numbers, but both 1943 bronze and 1944 steel cents do exist.
No idea (I'm away from my books right now), but that's a pretty cool die break.
Ok, so, I have to slightly derail the thread for a second for my own selfish reasons... :P Is there a nice silver pigasus coin that's at least...
VAM: A name for die varieties of Morgan and Peace dollars, named after Leroy C. Van Allen and A. George Mallis, the authors of The Comprehensive...
Dang it, now I have to get me a pigasus coin. :) I got started pretty simply: I bought an ancient coin, liked it, bought another few. I'm up to...
I know a few people who collect Seated coins. Not one that I know of considers any of the 1861-O halves to be counterfeit.
While I agree this is no way to do business, you have to wonder about the people who pay 3x melt or more for silver. Do they not have 5 seconds to...
Nice. Looks like the luster made it difficult to photograph. 65 looks reasonable based on the surfaces.
Lol :) I've chatted with Glenn a few times. He's a great guy, and he really knows and loves his Barber coins.
Everybody packed up early on Sunday! I got there at about noon and there was basically nobody there. Luckily, I had made some nice purchases...
Wait... it's recessed? Maybe it's a strike through of some sort.
Nice coin. I'd own it. I didn't think the green PCI holders toned coins, though; I thought it was the gold labels that really caused the target...
Based on the picture alone, I would say AT. I understand Angel Dee to be a reputable dealer, and I'm not certain why they're selling this coin...
IMO, the editors of Krause have an impossible task if they want to keep everything even somewhat updated on a yearly basis. Their catalogs try to...
