I don't actually stack. Silver would need to come down quite a bit before it starts becoming attractive to me. I'd rather just have more coins. :)
Did they have plus grades when these were originally graded? I could see either of these getting 65 if the grader was in a good mood. Both have...
The grade on coins like that is 100% irrelevant. Nobody who can afford them actually cares if PCGS says it's MS65, or AU53 cleaned. If I had...
Agreed with all three of your points, but for the last point, the coin has to be absolutely gorgeous before I'm willing to pay ~$50 to get it put...
I say 64+ for both.
I really would like to say 50, but I'm not seeing luster to justify it. That and the amount of high-point wear leads me to a 45, but a very nice...
Perhaps not coincidentally, my one NNC slabbed coin is also a problem coin in an MS-67 holder. I wasn't mislead; I bought it (really cheap) that...
Taking out a 401(k) loan for anything other than an emergency is probably a bad idea. Using the money to buy PMs is definitely a bad idea. If...
I'd say it's a keeper, especially if you plucked it out of circulation yourself. It's a nice looking XF/AU coin, and there's almost $3 in silver...
An artifact is something that's in the image but not representative of what's actually there. Here's a famous image artifact. ;) [ATTACH]
If you're talking about eBay, then, yeah, I'd like it in a problem holder a lot better than if it were raw. I love the obverse strike. The...
This is just my perspective, but a Barber half in that grade, raw, on eBay, is more risk than I'd be willing to take.
First, that is a very nice coin. It looks almost like a proof, but the rims aren't quite convincing me. If the color is accurate in the photo,...
Wow, that's a biggun'! It actually almost looks like the start of a lamination.
Could be, but it doesn't matter much. What I posted still holds if you replace MS63 by AU.
Better pics needed (obverse and reverse, camera straight on). Also, don't hold the coin like that; you'll get fingerprints all over it. Hold it...
I'm guessing that's the remnants of some solder.
Looks damaged, most likely ex-jewelry.
"pique." :)
You have a transitional variety with an AH reverse....
