Insofar as it's an 1878 VAM 12 with VF details that has had its surfaces excessively futzed with, yes.
The coin and holder look legit. I'd get it reholdered sometime if you want to keep it in a slab. That generation is referred to as the "quick...

By dumb luck I had 5 on my desk at once, when only 5 were known, all in one submission that was sent to me. The submitter didn't know. The...
The even pitting all over the devices is rather common for the early 1880s, even on early die states. There's an 1881-O reverse used with six,...
That is correct. Here it is. [ATTACH]
Short answer: Coins won't tone each other, although gunk on the coins (removable with acetone) should be removed. The long answer will be...
No. The first small dollar pattern was Gasparro's flowing hair Liberty obverse and flying eagle reverse, made in 1977. The only Ike small...
Sure looks like old adhesive or varnish. If it doesn't come off, spend it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that never in the history...
An AU business strike 1880 is worth considerably more than that today. A PCGS AU50 sold in January for $5,500. A PR50, on the other hand, is a...
Take a look at pictures of 1868 and 1880 nickels on PCGS CoinFacts. A corroded 1868 can be an evil mimic for an 1880. The date on an 1880 is a...
Memo to self: Post the 1921(!) Saint cutout I have a picture of tonight.
Probably 66. Not seeing hairlines. Those hide easily, but I figured you'd show them in photos you're having us grade from if they were there....
I have the opportunity again this year to teach a 4-day comprehensive class about Morgan dollars at the ANA Summer Seminar from June 24-27. You...
I saw them, too, but from the pics, I'm going to chalk them up as being black spots, especially since there are spots elsewhere on the coin. A...
Go through the PCGS CoinFacts Images. It looks like there were multiple die pairs making these, but several pictures have a diagonal scratch...
Yeah, consider them crushed.
Upload the picture of what you think is a 42/1-D dime and we should be able to confirm it (or crush your dreams).
The mystery coin is an attempt at an alteration to create a D mint mark where there wasn't one. Didn't go too well.
Not a fan of the scratch on the cheek, so I'd sell the raw one. If you crack out the slabbed one and store it in a paper envelope, it will start...
