I'm at 64 on this one. Attractive coin, "original skin," no big marks on Liberty's face, but some strike weakness on the reverse, and the right...
They actually look like the coins were clamped into a lathe and the reeds were milled off.
It's in an older NGC holder. They've been doing PL for a long time. I'll probably give PCGS a chance to agree.
Just got this in the mail today. NGC 64PL. I like it! [ATTACH]
True. I know I've seen this stuff before, though. Now I just have to figure out where.
I'm thinking of this kind of stuff. I don't know how many are specifically Columbian Expo designs, but I've seen a few pieces....
Voted no, didn't bother looking. 1916 cents that are uncirculated often come with very sharp details and rims.
There's tons of Columbian Expo coin art glass out there. I imagine this is yet another piece. Pretty cool.
Sheldon numbers apply to large cents 1793-1814. The Noyes books are considered the ones to have for this series. Other resources include NGC's...
Indeed you do, and I think we'll find that people will develop that experience as the experiment runs its course, although not perfectly.
ANA standards don't cover photographs of uncirculated coins very well.
Also the 1822 $5. I got to play with a few of his coins when I photographed them for Tony Terranova. I'll dig up a few pictures tonight and post...
Another thing we may observe is that The Hive converges on TPG grades with increasing accuracy as this experiment goes on.
65 was my guess, too. The luster is likely much better than what you see, as it is my experience that slab shots by Heritage, taken with a rather...
At least you can reholder if buffing them out fails, as I don't perceive there's an "old holder" premium there. Still, that's a mistake that'll...
That's one of the reasons why slabs get trashed. Being all scuffed up is also a tell that a coin in an old holder has seen a lot of mileage with...
Yes, that's what I'm saying. And while it isn't really all that necessary, I'd rather have 25 good data points than 24 and one suspicious one....
PCGS will label this VAM 9. There's no difference in value between the two, and most collectors of 8TF varieties are content having one or the...
A typical grading event is a coin that is graded more or less correctly. If there is a 50% chance that a group of 25 randomly selected coins will...
The purpose of the test is to see if a group can arrive at the same conclusion as a TPG. If this test is only going to be done for 25 coins, then...
Separate names with a comma.
