Voted no, didn't bother looking. 1916 cents that are uncirculated often come with very sharp details and rims.
There's tons of Columbian Expo coin art glass out there. I imagine this is yet another piece. Pretty cool.
Sheldon numbers apply to large cents 1793-1814. The Noyes books are considered the ones to have for this series. Other resources include NGC's...
Indeed you do, and I think we'll find that people will develop that experience as the experiment runs its course, although not perfectly.
ANA standards don't cover photographs of uncirculated coins very well.
Also the 1822 $5. I got to play with a few of his coins when I photographed them for Tony Terranova. I'll dig up a few pictures tonight and post...
Another thing we may observe is that The Hive converges on TPG grades with increasing accuracy as this experiment goes on.
65 was my guess, too. The luster is likely much better than what you see, as it is my experience that slab shots by Heritage, taken with a rather...
At least you can reholder if buffing them out fails, as I don't perceive there's an "old holder" premium there. Still, that's a mistake that'll...
That's one of the reasons why slabs get trashed. Being all scuffed up is also a tell that a coin in an old holder has seen a lot of mileage with...
Yes, that's what I'm saying. And while it isn't really all that necessary, I'd rather have 25 good data points than 24 and one suspicious one....
PCGS will label this VAM 9. There's no difference in value between the two, and most collectors of 8TF varieties are content having one or the...
A typical grading event is a coin that is graded more or less correctly. If there is a 50% chance that a group of 25 randomly selected coins will...
The purpose of the test is to see if a group can arrive at the same conclusion as a TPG. If this test is only going to be done for 25 coins, then...

I posted this in the other thread, but I'll post it here, too, since this thread is actually about fingerprints. Since the GSA coins were handled...
Probably MS65. It's VAM 1A, which is a Top 100 variety, although not rare.
Might be VAM 5B. Here's an interesting thought about the fingerprint on the reverse. In the early '70s, these coins were handled and packaged...
One other thing that comes to mind, is that this would make for an interesting article in The Numismatist, once the last coin is posted for the...
It would have been nice had NGC done an analysis of crowd-sourced grades from their grading contest at FUN.
