I used some spare Lego bricks to make this little display. Can position coins at two different angles, as shown in the picture. During boring...
What a beauty! I think AU55. I'm not an expert in the series by any means, but it appears relatively well struck and a good amount of original...
I only own one CAC'd coin, but I can confirm PCGS automatically tracks this. It showed up as a non-editable property of the coin when I added it...
Don't think I've shared photo of my 1920 Pilgrim half. Got it back in March -- [ATTACH] It has an interesting die break starting above the P...
Beautiful piece - congratulations! I'm not a collector of ancients; however, this is one of those coins which feels like it has a place in...
Picked up this beauty earlier this week; arrived today -- [ATTACH] This fully lustrous PCGS MS63 has a few bag marks and tiny dings, but as many...
Yikes... experiences like that are a real bummer. Hopefully your order is found!
Wanted to follow up (in case anybody was curious...) -- as mentioned above, I canceled my uncirculated gold coin and reordered at a lower price....
Still a beauty; wouldn't trade her; but PCGS re-affirmed she's only MS63 and not MS64 as I'd hoped. Oh well :)
Thought I'd necro this older thread to share the TrueView which came back. The regraded grade still hasn't posted, but the photo is beautiful...
After a week of back-and-forth, couldn't resist and pulled the trigger :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] (Seller's photos)
What an exceptionally cool design! I'm rarely drawn outside of US coins, but this one really speaks to me. I might need to do a little research...
One high level suggestion I'll offer based on my own experiences: Sometimes you're better off buying an already slabbed coin versus sending in...
Yup - this is where I spent a few hours exploring :) This is a bit misleading; @messydesk explains why in following post: @messydesk,...
Zoomed in on reverse die scratch I'd mentioned which I think points toward VAM-70: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Howdy folks, Spent some time today delving into VAMs for my 2x 1880-S Morgan dollars. I believe I've locked down the first one as VAM-70 --...
Beautiful - I'd imagine it's MS67, based on how original the fields look. Certainly does appear to be one of the RPM varieties.
I'd suggest you take a look at the ol' mighty Red Book. At the start of the book, they describe each grade from high level; as an overview. Then...
Well, that was my thinking - it'd cost ~$30 to grade this plus $5 for TrueView.
Couldn't pass up this MS66 toned silver dime, with TrueView, for $19.80 shipped: [ATTACH]
