Me too.
That's the only detracting feature, to my eye. Otherwise the coin is phenomenal, as far as I'm concerned. I can live with that little flyspeck....

While the William III halfpenny (in that condition) and the rest are not particularly valuable pieces, you definitely got your dollar's worth! :)
I'm reasonably confident your bottom left copper is a British halfpenny of William III. Maybe not the exact type linked, but similar. He died in...
I quite like the Brazilian. Too bad about the rim damage, but otherwise I like the look of it.
I'd buy that for a dollar, too. Totally.

WOW!!!! Happy dance for you! I was expecting to see one or two silver finds, but... wow. :greedy: That is utterly amazing. Look at those old...
Yes. I use PCGS for most coins but do send Ancients to NGC periodically.
Man, it's hard to tell with that toning. Some of the toning disturbances look like "scratches", though I know they aren't. I'll guess 63 but I...
Minus factor: soft strike on the face and head, as noted by @Mac McDonald. That, and maybe the fact it isn’t a peso, but that doesn’t bother me....
Lunapic takes a little getting used to but as Sal mentioned, it is free, requires no download, and offers a big toolbox for image editing. I’m...
[SPOILER] The coin is straight-graded by NGC in an early "No-Line Fattie" holder. .
