Anecdotal examples are absolutely worthless for demonstrating the quality of a grading service, and this isn't even that. It's an assertion made...
Some people are born collectors, others aren't. Look for the collectors. It's much easier to get a born collector into coins than it is to make...
Purchases of PR61 Morgans typically end in regret. If you're looking for a proof Morgan type coin (not a 78 Rev 79,. 95, 21 Chapman, or legit...
Yes. Most common place for a Peace dollar die to crack.
Obverse looks like a 66. Great luster as a 23 should have, super clean cheek, clean fields. The reverse has some heavier marks on it and holds...
65. Luster, strike, eye-appeal are all very good. The fields are quite clean for a 78-CC. There are no heavy marks, and those on the cheek are...
I immediately saw the West German 50 Pfennig coin, and then wondered why someone would try to plant a tree in a rock at the base of another tree....
Those are the 3 I like, too.
Major die erosion on that one. I can look it up on Saturday, but weak doubling might not survive heavy die wear, and die fatigue doubling starts...

Sometimes. They are often caused by the flow of the metal tearing the die apart. Metal flows mostly from center to edge, and certain parts of...
Die chip. If it were a filled die, the rest of the A would be missing.
Yeah. A bench grinder should do it.
If you had a genuine rarity, the dealer would have benefited from submitting it, as he'd essentially have first dibs on buying it or helping you...
Attractive, with great luster, OK strike (a little weak on the head), no bad marks on prime focal areas. The fields are just lightly scuffed....
Useless answer: An alien gobbed on it. Snarky, and equally useless, answer, with apologies to Bill Fivaz: I don't know, I wasn't there when it...
No. It's not high relief. Take a look at PCGS CoinFacts for examples of the 1922 high relief. Totally different design, especially the lower...
I'm going to disagree with that. I just went looking at a bunch of 65s. This one is very nice in comparison.
