All the more reason not to have it slabbed unless you're sure it's MS. You'll need to invest $30-50 in slabbing fees, postage, and insurance just...
Doesn't matter much. The difference between AU58 and XF40 is all of what, $50-75? You probably would want it to be MS before slabbing it becomes...
Well, you do have a couple of true rarities there... SGS slabs with a grade of less than MS70. ;) In all seriousness, I agree completely with...
Can't say from your pics. Sometimes the cutoff between a nice 55 and a true 58 is just the amount of luster remaining, and I can't really see...
You forgot to post the pic. :-)
Weimar White can pound sand. :)
Looks like an honest FR-02 1795 cent. From the pictures, it appears to have minimal porosity. I'm a little concerned what's going on near the Y...
Nah, thanks, I buy mine directly from China these days. Just kidding. Ebay won't take these down even after several reports?
I'd guess around MS63. Is that crud on Monticello or is it toning?
There are 2 DDOs listed for that year at Variety Vista. Yours doesn't match the diagnostics for either one. Granted that this is a lightly...
+1 to what @cpm9ball said. A fingerprint can be a huge negative eye appeal factor and can lower the grade by up to half a point if it's large and...
I'll say MS64. It looks like it has gem quality surfaces, but a little weakness of strike (and 38-D frequently comes with a very strong strike),...
Yeah, I can tell there's a lot of light thrown on the coin, for sure. That's why I'm a little "meh" on the second Kennedy, because it looks...
I'll buy every legit MS65 Morgan I can find at $60 each.
Why not? I realize there's not one on the coin, but I've never heard these called anything other than dollars.
Wow, that reverse die is shattered!
42/1 D is much more subtle than 42/1 P, but, even so, I'm not seeing it in your close up of the date. Do you see evidence of a repunched 4?
I agree. :) I find the second Kennedy a bit "meh" and I don't like how the toning is fairly dark in some places. But, the halves were bundled as...
Any idea how long you might continue to produce the high grade coins? I've been holding off a bit since I learned about the cracked reverse die.
I wouldn't invest in any single coin at that price level. With $15K, I wouldn't "invest" in coins, period. Now, once you start getting into the...
