Neat. I approve, if that's what it is. Of course, that does mean you won't be able to spot the 'OGH' from across the table anymore (unless it's...
That PCGS 2003 MS-70 cent developed a spot and was downgraded to MS-69. https://forums.collectors.com/messageview.aspx?catid=26&threadid=644643
The hat is actually a Phrygian cap. Incidentally, the pole is a liberty pole. Both are venerable symbols of liberty which can be seen on many US...

I would love to own any of the coins from the years of the 4/5/6 emperors. :)
Die chips. There's a good chance it is actually listed at VAMWorld. Look for any more prominent die cracks and you have a good shot at...
That depends. By "send it in," do you mean send it in to my mail box? ;) I'd say it's got a very high chance of hitting 66. Slightly above...

I don't really think of it as "premium over melt." It's more like "numismatic premium," to me. In pure % of melt terms, probably the most I've...
I don't generally participate in GTGs with so many coins, but in this case, I grade them all "WANT". :) It's so terribly hard to find honest,...

She seems to be looking down at her pet lion?
I would suggest "certified." "Slabbed" is a slang term.
Great coin! I'm surprised this came in at under $50. I would have guessed to get one of these wildly toned early 60's Lincoln proofs, you'd have...
You mean for taking pictures of the whole coin? It's a microscope. :) It's not really intended for whole-coin photography. It's intended for...
Separate names with a comma.
