They can only identify it if they decide it might be worth their while to go through the additional step to do so. I don't think it's automatic,...
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I'm a little suspicious of such strong toning on AGEs. Maybe it's legit, but the only thing I can be...
Looking at some prices realized, the 86 in 63PL seems to have been a good deal. The last 3 PCGS 63PL coins listed in CoinFacts that sold are...
No better than 64 with the brown spot. Get it reholdered to get that hair off the reverse, too, or it'll grow more problems.
Nothing in the Cherrypicker Guides is impossible to find. The values and rarity scale kind of give you an idea of this. The best thing to do is...
I wouldn't want to leave the proof halves in tubes any longer than necessary, especially if it's only half full.
Looks like it needs a shave.
Interesting that there's a Dansco just for the WL short set. Here's where I'd get a blank album and fill it with business strike halves...
I got dinged on one because of a planchet flaw once, and it had a similar black mark as what I see by the claw, although more unsightly....
Whatever interests you and engages you most is the way to go. That said, there's often another problem with the last year of mintage besides...
$15 shipped in the US. All books in excellent condition. 1994 is hardcover, 2004 is spiral. CPG signed by Stanton, Fivaz, and Mike Ellis.
Well, there's this: 50-coin Classic Commem type set I'm also in the Franklin Dansco club. This makes a great YN set. [ATTACH]
Dip it. The haze should come off, and you should have a much more attractive coin. The spots on the portrait may or may not come off. Don't...
Ah, right! So I guess the question is whether the coin is bronze (~ 12% tin) or contains 12% zinc. One of the labels is then incorrect.
I'd only be speculating if I tried to come up with an answer, but they also didn't specify the color with the grade on the 88/12 slab.
If I consider business strikes, proofs, commemoratives, and modern NCLT, I think I would always consider less than 500 to be low mintage, and I...
If it were mine, I'd have it graded, but would send it with enough other coins to minimize the shipping and handling overhead. Looks like an AU53.
I would not have bought it. For starters the obverse and reverse are on the wrong sides.
Because getting 3 grams of copper for 1 cent is a better deal than 3.75 grams for 5 cents or 2.1 grams for 10 cents.
The bigger issue is dealing with the glare from the slab. For exposure, I always set the exposure manually and check the histogram to make sure...
Separate names with a comma.
