The short answer is no, unless grade-flation is applied. A subpar obverse does not get boosted to a grade it does not deserve by a very nice...
Okay, you guys buy it. That's easy. The cruch time comes when you get ready to sell it. I've been at this for 60 years, and I been beaten on the...
The reverse is very often better than the obverse on Morgan Dollars and many other coins. The reverse has less influence on the overall grade than...
Well, go ahead and pay MS-65 money for it. You don't have "luster breaks" in MS-65 graded coins unless you believe in grade-flation. This is one...
Sorry guys, but I don't see where you can grade this as an MS-65 with this much clatter on the cheek and portrait. I don't care what photo angle...
Not necessarily. The Kennedy silver inaugural medal is less expensive because the inaugural committee made a strong effort to sell them. Prior to...
Unfortunately these pieces have very little value, even if they are nice. The demand for modern, official inaugural medals in bronze, is limited....
Proof 1964 cents are worth about a dollar, but out of the Proof packaging, they tend to melt like snow balls in July. Leave it where it is.
Lincoln Cents have many values because the series dates from 1909. Most of them are worth 1 Cent with quite a few most of them worth 2 or 3 cents...
Thanks to you all! You have been a lot of help to a beginning collector. I know I have been collecting coins for 60 years, but in this area, I am...
Yes, I should have typed in "right" for the location of the "T." I have fixed it. Thank you for the correction, and the confirmation that we are...
Without looking at the results above, I voted MS-64. The piece has some of the characteristics of a better grade, but there are several little...
The close-up picture looks like an MS-63 to me, which is the way I voted. The whole slab picture makes it look like an MS-64 or 65. I don't like...
I guess we have to face the fact that inflation and debit and credit cards are fast making coins obsolete. Although the occasional commemorative...
I have been trying to attribute the Roman Imperial coins I have using the David Sear books. Sometimes I can the variety exactly, but other times I...
This forum is great because it's not sponsored by a grading company. That makes it possible for us to present some frank and honest opinions about...
No, all of the Confederate half dollars were all made of silver. The Confederacy did strike some 1861-O double ealges at the New Orleans Mint,...
That is a corroded large cent. All four of the original 1861 Confederate half dollars have been located. The last one, which is believed to be...
... or go scratch in the litter box. The "rare coin" didn't sell for the outrageous price so the dim wit or fool who put this piece of pocket...
A lot of modern Proof sets that are 30 to 50 years old are not worth much more than their face value. I think that's shame because I really like...
