Put me in the 30 camp.
I see a normal BU coin. What makes you think it is cleaned? Don't go strictly by color, as the white balance doesn't look accurate. 63RD, maybe?
Got my order in within a couple minutes of the green flag dropping. Browser hung up on the checkout page, but worked fine after I restarted it.
No real way of telling when it was made. Could have been as early as 1892, of course, but the two coins probably sold for about $5 for the pair...
If you're referring to the vertical bands of seemingly reflective areas on the reverse, these come from the feed fingers of the press gently...
I just had a LDS 21-D VAM 1N unicorn D (retained cud) cross my desk a little while ago. Very cool coin. They're out there.
The 1921-D Morgan dies seemed more prone to neat die breaks than those of the other mints. Could be they were more brittle as a result of...
Still can't tell if it will grade from the picture. You either have a 62PL, an AU58, or a no-grade thanks to hairlines I can see in the left...
VAM 18 is more valuable than a more run-of-the-mill 1878-CC. Maybe a 1.5-2x premium in AU55-MS63. Heritage sold an NGC AU55 for $300 back in...
Dude! I was at that show (Palatine, IL) at around 12:00 today! I talked to him about his Peace dollar, which he did from a coin he had. I broke...
So a long time ago (say, 1990s) at an auction, I picked up a small stack of books, including Penny Whimsy and Newcomb's hand-written Large Cent...
Yup. The collector that put together the California Morgan sets is Lloyd Gabbert, who passed away a few weeks ago after a long battle with...
Sort of looks like those PowerPoint "String Bean" characters are climbing on the backsides of the torches.
I feel sorry for someone who has to cheat to enjoy their hobby.
I'm really liking PCGS's auction prices aggregator. Also free, very easy to use. Just wish they let you filter on a grade range. It's not...
I wouldn't have bid on the coin shown by the seller. Solid yellow toning on silver doesn't look natural, and probably never is. I'll invoke...
I'll be there on Friday.
You have a limited amount of time to click on "edit" near the "quote" and "reply" options on your post. A day, perhaps. After that time, the...
Either 58 or 63 on the OP coin.
It's very possible, but not very probable.
