What you have is not an error coin; it's just a regular quarter that's been exposed to the elements. It still retains good eye appeal, but is not...
There are a couple slab albums available by Lighthouse and Eagle. Check places like JP's Corner and Wizard Coin Supply. Amazon and eBay might be...
Nicely struck, typical amount of marks. Looks good. :)
I would say $425 is probably a decent price. From your pictures, I see some good luster, so that's a good indication of a nice coin.
Any recommendation if I want color photos of coins I can't afford? :)
Is this mostly a later era thing? I've seen quite a few earlier 'as caesar' coins that aren't like this.
Amazing. Do you agree with the grade?
I live in the US, but of all the postal services people have ever used to send me stuff (including USPS), I've had the most issues with Canada...
Good point. I don't know exactly how you could tell, since the letter doesn't even tell the type of coin beyond the ruler, and historical...
You would be surprised.
I'm still angry at the counterfeiters and deliberate fake sellers, but that one is pretty terrible. Like @John Anthony said, even I can tell it's...
Yep, that's the kind I was imagining, where it's kept in a controlled environment and you don't touch the calibration weights with your fingers...
That first letter is on a real old-time typewriter with no dedicated "1" key. Also, those are not cheap coins being mentioned. $125 in 1940 is...
My bottle of acetone is a little 6 ounce plastic thing. Not sure it's possible to kill anybody with that unless you make them choke on it. :P
I would stay away from raw, key date coins for now. Learn to grade and authenticate them, and come back to it later. For the price you paid,...
All I have to say is good luck to you, @GeorgeM. :) I wouldn't even know where to begin with this one.
Shove Athena over 3-4mm and get her nose on flan, and that would be absolutely perfect. :) That's about the amount of detail/wear I'm looking...
What are you seeing on the IHC that makes it NCS worthy? It looks like a pretty solid AU58 if not MS 63 or better to me (depending on luster,...
Very nice. Is it a PL? Looks like a lot of heavy die polish on the reverse. Kitty is almost missing a leg!
As far as real quality and fakes go, I don't think that's an issue with any of the major bullion dealers. Drill holes wouldn't bother me on...
Separate names with a comma.
