I was talking about the '84 - suffered a brain cramp and completely forgot there were 2 coins here :o In my opinion the '82 is a solid 64.
Remember when I said one good and one bad - well the good one is known as the 6 cent piece ;) And based on your description - it's possible. If...
All in all I thought the reverse looked pretty good - it would go 64 easy. It's the obverse that holds the grade down - all the luster breaks on...
I would say check on ebay or in your local camera shop - there are some nice used cameras. I haven't used one personally, but I have heard of a...
I agree - VF20. And I understand the VF22 as I was tempted to say VF25, but the eagle's head has just a bit too much wear ;)
I'm gonna say PF64 - but I wanna ask you a question Zane. Did you buy the coin individually or did you take it out of a Proof set ? I'm asking...
Speedy I truly appreciate the vote of confidence - but I'm no expert, far from it. I only know enough to know how much I have yet to learn. But...
I think this one could get a 62. But it's hard to judge the PL from pics. Have you tested the reflectivity Bone ? In other words - if you can see...
When it comes to learning how to grade my recommendation is always the same - read ALL of the books and or articles you can find on the subject....
I'm gonna say XF45 Mik - I think the wear on the eagle's head and wings would keep it from going AU.
To the best of my knowledge there never has been a mintage limit on ASEs. They produce what they believe they can sell in any given year. But...
I'd say MS63 for the '81-S - that's because this particular coin is known for being found with excellent strike, luster and surface preservation....
I believe that is exactly why it got that grade. I also agree that the other coin was over-graded.
That's not what I meant. If you looked at pics of the '69-S DDO you would see that it is vastly different than this coin. I mean night and day...
One possibility is that it is an altered coin with the details of one coin superimposed onto another - some call them squeeze jobs. And since you...
It's not even close :rolleyes:
Howdy Ruinz - Welcome to the Forum !! There are a couple of possible explanations - one good and one not. But we can't tell without seeing the...
I'm reasonably certain the coin is a counterfeit. There are a few different counterfeit varieties known for this year. One of the diagnostics...
I think the coin would grade 64 with either PCGS or NGC, and PCGS would probably call it FBL - NGC would not. But there is no way it would grade...
One roll being longer than another isn't as unusual as you might think. But for some reason in the past year or two people have begun to notice...
