I don't see any cameo on the obverse of the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar. It could be the way the picture was taken. If it only has a cameo on one...
I don't see anything that is out of the ordinary with the 1917 half dollar. The looks okay to me.
Do I buy "details coins?" Almost never. The only "details" graded pieces I have in my collection are poltical tokens. I bought this 1868 U.S....
Pattern coins are not included in the for circulation or business strike type sets. The only 1792 coin that qualifies for a type set, and I think...
As I posted before, my problem is with the close-up photo. My opinion is based on that photo. I don't have a lot of faith in "full slab pictures."...
But sometimes you finances do end. If you want to get technical about it, you would almost have to collect the 1794 half cents by Cohen variety....
I was referring more to design features, like the folds in Ms. Liberty’s gown and the details on the Eagle. The artwork on the counterfeit is not...

This thing is FROM CHINA. It did not GO TO CHINA initially. It's a screaming counterfeit. It is what you might call "an unreasonable facsimile."...
Black corrosion on a silver coin is death. I don't like "carbon spots" and avoid coins that have them. If there is a fair amount of black...

Because when I looked at the close-up photo of the 1885-S, I did not care for that coin as an MS-65, 66 or 67. Why are you so angry at that? Is it...
