It's never leprosy. Oh, wait, dang it, that's lupus! It's never lupus!
Well, it all depends how you define "bang." Personally, I like coins that are nice to look at, and which I have a hope of potentially reselling,...
Well, like I said, I think I'd either send it to NCS or just send it in to PCGS and flip it. That's me, though.
Where's the listing? And why (other than the coin itself not matching the PCGS picture) is this an obvious fake or an obvious fake slab? I've...
Eh, whatever. :) Some sources say "American flag;" some sources say "cape." PCGS CoinFacts says cape, quoting Q. David Bowers; Wikipedia says...
Lol. :) Don't walk in and say you'll take half of Greysheet bid though... ;) Get their offer first! And don't let them beat you up on the ANACS...
Based on those pics, the obverse of this one looks a bit better than the 66 CAC. The reverse is about the same, IMO.
I like the color. It looks nice and original to me. I voted 64, but I wouldn't be surprised to see 64+ or 65.
I've never seen a coin so ugly it got detailed just for being ugly. I guess that's a case of BU meaning "butt ugly." :P Maybe if you sent in a...
VG 8 and AU 53... oh, wait, not that kind of thread. :p Was there a specific reason for using a wheat cent for the second one?
Lol, good catch on the mint mark. I forgot to even note that. :) That reminds me, you should also look at the stars on the cape on the...
I agree with the general sentiment of the rest of the posters here. The most I'd do to a coin like that is give it a soak in acetone. However...
Well, first of all, the coin should be completely struck. Look carefully at Liberty's left hand and skirt lines on the obverse, and the high...
Neat. When you get it back, any chance you could post a more close-up view of one of the letters inside the affected area? I'd be interested...
I'm with @messydesk in that I don't like the toning pattern, even if it's not actually black. But, I'm with everybody else that the surfaces look...
These are all great. I have to say I like @WingedLiberty's 2002-S and the 1935 @carboni7e posted best so far. :-)
Yeah. Those results look substantially similar to what I posted from NGC. I can't see the filter you applied because it's not encoded in the URL,...
There are no coin holders I know of that you can buy that are air tight. The best you can do is Intercept Shield products. These are also not...
Take a look at these auction results instead. MS67 does seem to be the tipping point for this coin.
Go to any coin show. You'll easily find 10 more as nice or better than this, and probably for less money. I got a PCGS MS65 1938-D for $30 for...
Separate names with a comma.
