I don’t see a straight grade for this piece, but I can see someone paying thin VG money for it.
[IMG] If the mark under Ms. Liberty's arm is really there, it might grade not higher than MS-63. These coins tend to come in higher grades. This...
Coin switching was a problem with old ANACS papers. It got better when they switched to color photos. Still many people have trouble matching...
You can't expect to get better mint marked pieces in a lot like this. You would expect duplicates. The main thing to be concerned about is cull...
I don't have very many transportation tokens. This is nice one for the New York and Harlaem Railroad which ran in New York City. It started out as...
I think that MS-61 is on the low side. It could be that CACAC under grades to get higher prices for their products. I haven’t looked at a lot of...
I don't know what the current thinking is, but for as long as I have been active as a collector, this little die crack which runs from the rim to...

I am sure it's the same with silver, but a lot of bids for larger gold coins ($10 and $20) on the Grey Sheet has really flattened out. There is...
Fifty-five years means nothing. Anybody can screw up. You can also be a dealer who has been in business for 55 years who has lost his fast ball....

The coin is a gold noble, and it is raw. I have a half noble of Edward III who was the king who restarted Bitish gold coinage after it ended in...
Thank you, @jeffB!
The sharpness is around Good-4, but the surfaces have too much roughness to hold the grade. I think the net grade will be AG-3.
I just acquired this gold noble of British king Henry VI. [ATTACH] I can translate the obverse: HENRIC DI GRA REX ANGL Z FRANC DNS HYB "Henry...
Think of it as like when you dig a ditch. You have to throw the dirt somewhere, usually beside the ditch. That is raised, like the metal on the...
The reverse has a cleaned look to me. I don't think that it's worth spending the money to slab it. Time was $200 was the guideline, but now with...
The double struck part looks like it’s in better condition than the rest of the coin. I think that it’s a fake error.
The imperial Roman emperors almost always used their coins for political purposes. Septimius Severus was a very successful emperor. Here he is...
Two thumbs way up .. ;):cigar: That was a most interesting video.
