I guess I'd rather be selling a 60 with a gold bean than a 61 with a green one, since gold beans tend to be rational thought inhibitors for enough...
Not a fan of the color.
Given the choice, I'd want to see both coins. Yeah, it's a cop-out answer, but I don't select coins sight-unseen, especially if I'm needing to...
The demand for that variety in 65 is no greater than the demand for a generic one in high grade. The red stars came from a 2003 book on 1921-D...
No difference either way.
Auction archives are free and relatively easy to search if you're looking for actual transactions for valuation. As for whether I'd prefer PCGS...
Reeds that are straight are formed by the collar die which moves into place at the time the coin is struck and then retracts when the struck coin...
Looks like a missing clad layer, as mentioned. The part with no detail was missing at striking and is unstruck. The rest of the missing part was...
It has the details of an AU coin, but has been cleaned. It's not an O/S. Worth about $20.
You need to be an SSDC member to access these.
The populations on VAMWorld aren't maintained. I was looking at the SSDC registry, which supplies population reports as people register their coins.
Looks like it was August 2016. I have a bulk order with serial numbers starting with 818 that came back around then. They seem to restart the...
Late to the thread, but I agree with having this graded, especially if someone can piggy-back it onto another order and save all the shipping and...
This is one of the things I tell people to do when they go to their first big show and are learning grading. As a bonus, lot viewing often starts...
It's not so much that 21s are graded on a different scale as you can't look at a 21 the same way you look at the rest of the series. 1921 has a...
VAM 1W2 is probably the more desirable of the two, but neither is really much of a premium coin. In the SSDC registry, VAM 6A has a population of...
This. If you want to look at tons of pictures, start on Heritage. You can even search by grade if you want. One word of caution, however....
As far as I know, this only applies to the large size Pine Tree shillings, and that the small size coins were made later using a screw press.
A VF Small Planchet Pine Tree Shilling is on my list of things to get someday. The one pictured, assuming it isn't a rare die marriage, is...
I'll be there Thursday through Saturday. Home base will be table 1115, but I'll be wandering as well. Since I've bought a little on ma-shops,...
Separate names with a comma.
