Whoa, nice. I had a Stephen Watford type penny once (which I bought, of course). Never had Mary.
Four bucks? You stole that thing! :greedy: In AU55, as I would call that, the trend price on Numismedia is $38. That's a really sharp one.
Looks OK to me?
I don't have any good answer either, but that sounds plausible to me?

They should. If I remember correctly, the last time I had a similar (though not identical) issue, they instructed me on how to print a FedEx...

Plenty of time. You’re in.
It works on that level.
I think they will likely make it good at no further monetary cost to the client. The time wasted in aggravation is a different matter, however....
OK, so this reply is almost a year late, but how come? Do explain the nickname, if you please. :)
I dunno. Even if it IS the 1864-L, it's low grade, scratched, and damaged. BUT... it was less than twenty bucks, so that's something.
Oh, now that pic makes the giveaway totally worthwhile! Thanks! :) Bet those girls are impressed with how big those silver dollars are, eh? I...
I really like the Cap & Rays 8R. Nice color. Nice color crescent on the Morgan, too. Those aren't my cuppa tea, but some folks really love...
They are indeed difficult to grade. I also find Franklin halves and the incuse Indian $2.50 and $5.00 coins tough to grade, personally.
Sounds like the dreaded "trapped gas" problem. Sometimes there will also be an oily or wet looking spot inside (a literal gas bubble) that you...
