I agree. The reverse is an example of where the silver tarnish has gone too far and has now become damage.
I have no idea where a hammered English coin from circa 1166 to 1500 should go. When I first came here, I was informed that they went in the...
If you had submitted the OP coin to PCGS or NGC back when I was having my collection graded, it would have come back in a body bag as...
I would caution other collectors about this "two toned" cameo look on circulated coins. It's not a look that was popular years ago, but maybe you...
Here's mine. It falls short of what I really wanted, but it's what I purchased. A couple of years later, I saw one I liked more. At that time I...
As a type collector for more than 50 years, I voted “5.” This is a one year type, but the mintage was high, and a fair number of them have...
I can’t muster much enthusiasm for this. The 1921 Morgan Dollar was a pale imitation of the coins that were issued in the 19th century. The Peace...
That is a double edged sword. If you don't explain how to spot the counterfeit, more people will get taken in. I think that it is better to point...
Here is a genuine coin beside the fake coin. Note the numbers in the date don't match the real coin. [ATTACH] Note the lumps of metal in the...
I have an American Silver Eagle that a club gave to me many years ago as a thank you for speaking to their group. It came in a little folder. Over...

Time for the reveal ... [ATTACH] This is one of those unusual "duel endorsement" coins where Eagle Eye and CAC both had a look at it and liked...
If I remember correctly, it was a “homer” series. Unlike the most recent World Series, the home team always won. There were four games in LA so ...
This Civil War token stock die is not that hard to find. The trouble is a lot of the tokens that have it seem to come beat-up. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Given the fact that the cent has a huge collector base, it does not need to be made for general circulation any more, but it should be in Proof...
You showing you age. "The 5th" or 4/5 ths of a quarter went out about the time I turned 21. The Alcohol industry saw the chance to switch to go...
Just before they left Washington, the original Senators had Harmon Killebrew, Jim Lemon and hard hitting rookie named Bob Allison who hit a lot of...
In Borchardt's defense, he was caught between the rock and the hard place. The first time around, he called the coin an EAC Fine-15. I would have...
It's also great that this forum is not "owned" by the grading company. If you post too many, sometimes any, of their mistakes and you will get the...
