That is true. Due to the typical weak reverse strike, any wear there makes the coin looks more worn that it really is. But there is clearly a...
Agree. I think this is a solid attribution. I have the O-116 as a R-4 and the O-129 as a R-5. This from the Fifth Edition of Parsley.

Yes, on occasion. Personal transactions. The club also has an auction at each meeting. We also have members who are either part-time or...
The coin was previously in a PCGS holder graded MS-66+. I saw it in that holder earlier this year. So it crossed at the same grade. No, I did...
Just now arrived in the mail. It's graded AU-50 and is actually better looking in hand than in the CACG photo. Almost no chatter or dings and...
At my Local Coin Club last night and a fellow member, a high-end US Type Set collector, pulled out this beauty. It's a CACG MS-66+ and just...

That's a nice AU-58.
Picked this up off eBay yesterday. It's unremarkable, only a R-1 coin, except that it's a late die state of the LM-1.3 die marriage. That cud on...
I have several like that, some cocked at pretty severe angles. IIRC, these are all in PCGS holders. These are all small coins, half dimes and...
OK, this is probably a nit and if so I'm sure I'll be called out on it. But I find this irritating and in the great American tradition of sharing...
