Whizzed? I have a Barber dime that looks like this, F condition but shiny white, broken glass/pebbled appearance all over it.
On the NGC price guide they show AU Details coins under AU50....
I am also not convinced that it's real. Your more recent pictures are great, but have you gone over to Heritage or PCGS and looked at images? In...
Gosh, I would never, ever do this, nor recommend it to anyone. You can spin a coin on a hard surface and listen to it ring as it settles onto the...

Sorry for yanking your chain a little, but you've started this stuff in multiple threads on multiple forums, and I know it's you favorite ax to...
Condition rarities are tough to gauge. J&M lists the 1948 in MS65 at $518, but the 1938 at $598 even though the mintage was over 4 million. I...
