Store them in inert materials in a climate controlled environment and pray. I don't like red copper and usually avoid buying it. I remember many...
I was going though my rather long list of modern commemorative silver dollars to see about selling them. Looking at the Grey Sheet, it looks like...
All of those coins are beyond help. Sorry. The 1943 steel cent is common, even in the higher grades. Slabbed ones bring, I don't know $50(?)...
No, coin doctors usually do not bother with rim problems that severe. A coin repair guy would charge too much, and the results would not be worth...
Here is an exhibit of Dahlonega Mint coins I put together a few years ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It makes sense if you really like the Carson City Mint. I'm neutral about it. I did take a great interest in the Dahlonega and Charlotte Mints...
That coin with that kind of damage needs a tailwind to make $50.
The slab grade should not be any more than MS-63 because of the marks on the obverse, but I know the slab grade is at least MS-64.
I voted 53. It would be higher if the luster is good, but the photo is not showing it. If the luster is strong, it’s a 55 or 58.
I would have to price the coins individually. The CC gold coins are expensive. The silver coins appear to have been cleaned, but the photo does...
VF-25
I think that it just makes VF-20. The conservative grade would be Fine-15.
The full sized Patriotic Civil War Token catalog is a better deal, but I don't think that's in print any more. I used to sell them for $20 when I...
if I putty a piece, is it "smoothing", or just soothing? Smoothing does not require or limit itself to, removal/moving metal. Both can occur on a...
I voted "Fine-12." I don't know why you would say "details." That about as mark-free and original as you could ever hope to get for the grade....
You have to go back to the 1970s with respect to whizzing. When it's done "right", it simulates mint luster. It was a way to turn AUs or so-so...
@1865King, the obverse repair work on that 1795 dollar is scary good. The reverse is more obvious.
You rub a coin with a cloth and polish it quite easily. It's easier with soft brush mounted on a drill. The brushed used for whizzing have fine...
They will if the cleaning is not too bad. Of course a lot of collectors view that as "market grading" and refuse to buy the coins.
If you really want to get technical, the 1922 no D cent is a die state. It was made from a regular die that was polished or worn out until the...
Separate names with a comma.
