Looks like a 63 to me. Probably pretty typical of what you'd pull out of a mint set these days.
Quite a major accomplishment. :) I've considered starting a set of every non-gold D mint coin issued for circulation. It's been a while since I...
+1 to what @SuperDave said. Also, coin tubes sold by Whitman or any other coin supply seller will never contain PVC, so you should never have to...

Speaking of the PCGS guarantee, I would like to know when I agreed to the following bit: I have never submitted a coin to PCGS. I am not and...
Yes. Post good pictures on here and you'll get a bunch of grades. You may get what you pay for, however. :P In all seriousness, assuming you...
The stretched stars are an indication of die deterioration. The obverse die was pretty much shot. I don't see anything that jumps out at me...
I got a proof 1986 Statue of Liberty commem when I was a kid, from my grandma, and a proof set from my parents. These days, I usually tell people...
Wow, that's ugly. :) Looks like maybe a PR50 or so?
