I only have a 1936 and a 1942 Proof set, and the coins certified. Finding the 1936 to ‘42 sets in the mint packages is virtually impossible. I...
AU-58
You can't grade by the wheat line detail because it was never struck up. The dies were too worn.
Technical AU-58. There is a rub on the highest points of Lincoln's portrait. The slab grade might be MS-61, Brown. This coin was struck with...
First I don't view coins as an investment. Having said that, some things have a better chance of holding their value. I have never been a fan of...
I think that "Roosevelt Dime on a nail" is a "midnight special" not a mint error. Some mint employees get grief for manufacturing and sneaking...
I can’t get to the big picture, but the thumbnail looks dark and dull.
You will if you paid MS-67 money when it comes time to sell. NGC graded coins can’t get away with this.
MS-64. Clear look but too many small marks to rate a Gem Unc. Grade.
Are you ready to pay for it when few others will? Late die states do not get super high grades.
The MS-67 dime is over graded from the market perspective, which what matters for a slab. An early die state is worth a lot more. Once you get...
I don't know about beauty, but this is one of the more interesting coins I have from the Roman Republic era. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is an...
If you post a picture, we might think of something, but alot of times, the tape will leave a mark, especially when it's been "drilled in" from the...
I think that would cross as an MS-63 or 64 unless the photo is not showing us something. At the risk of upsetting people, I'll show you these two...
I am the treasurer (Because no one else will volunteer) and the vice president in charge of education at my local club. I give an educational...
It is an Elizabeth I shilling, 12 pence. She was the Queen of England from 1558 to 1603. This one of earlier pieces without a date.
Who uses film anymore if you are posting photos to eBay on any regular basis. I have not used film in more than a decade.
It’s not that hard to shoot in-focus photos of the whole slab. If you don’t get a good photo, you take another one. How hard is that? He can’t...
How can you tell? The photo is so out of focus, you can't tell if the slab or coin is genuine. Bad photo = "Run Forest run!" Further more they...
You should qualify this post with the phrase, "leading slab companies." There have been some fly by night outfits that were FAR LESS reliable than...
