Any plans to put a picture of the coin on the findagrave memorial page?
In general, die markers (other than breaks) close to the rim are unreliable because of the way a die wears. If I'm looking to confirm that two...
I'm feeling XF for this one.
I got off to a bit of a late start with this, but I'm now taking orders for my 2017 coin calendar. $15 (includes shipping in the US) gets you a...
It may be listed in one of the Seated Liberty Half Dime attribution guides (Valentine, Blythe), although I don't think these are collected by...
To clarify, Ike's have their own variety numbering system (DIVa) established by The Ike Group for their exclusive use. I can't find much more...
Nothing to see there, at least not from here. If you ever think you have a RPM on a modern type, go to varietyvista.com and look at the RPM...
Ummm... there's no premium for this variety. Like the 91-CC Spitting Eagle, it's one of the most common varieties for this date. If you want a...
Nope. That's a high point of the slab, even with the stacking tabs. Another possibility is that it was stacked with stapled 2x2s or in someone's...
The slab was stacked in a double row box and spent a lot of time rubbing against other slabs. When it wasn't in said box, it was being thrown...
I assume "golden" refers only to the color and that the token is struck in brass. I think Royal Oak Mint did Gobrecht dollar replicas, but I don't...
The 1927 looks like it still has cleaning compound embedded in it. The 1908 looks better, but I don't think it would grade as a MS coin.
AU55. Not an O/S. Can't tell if there's any repunching on the date. The die cracks through the mint mark and by the R in DOLLAR should help...
As should the next person to buy that coin. Very nice!
Could be because cleaned, circulated common dates are sold anonymously and unceremonioulsly in junk boxes, so that it doesn't seem like there are...
Might want to tag @brg5658, as I believe he's a "horse coin" afficionado. (Apologies if I'm wrong.)
You have to take the R-numbers with a grain of salt. They are estimates based on how likely it should have been that a given variety was already...
I'm actually sort of working on a mint mark set of $5 Libertys. I always thought it would be cool. It's not a "top priority" set of mine, but...
The shield design on the cent has some incuse lettering.
I'm guessing that when it was listed (2013), the person that sent it in didn't care about any collar clash, since there was a major interior die...
Separate names with a comma.
