I was thinking about when a jugate has appeared on regular issue British coins, and I can only think of two times. The first time was in the 1550s...
There have been a total of 60 votes. Of that total, 13 or just over 21% of the votes were at MS-66 or 67. That is hardly a ringing endorsement for...
Bingo! Here are the Grey Sheet numbers for the 1885-S dollar: MS-64 $525 MS-65 $1,250 MS-66 $3,200 Here are numbers from the brand new CAC Rare...
Compare it with this one I pulled off the Heritage Auction site. I would not grade this coin from the photos (probably scans) that show the total...
The short answer is no, unless grade-flation is applied. A subpar obverse does not get boosted to a grade it does not deserve by a very nice...
Okay, you guys buy it. That's easy. The cruch time comes when you get ready to sell it. I've been at this for 60 years, and I been beaten on the...
The reverse is very often better than the obverse on Morgan Dollars and many other coins. The reverse has less influence on the overall grade than...
Well, go ahead and pay MS-65 money for it. You don't have "luster breaks" in MS-65 graded coins unless you believe in grade-flation. This is one...
Sorry guys, but I don't see where you can grade this as an MS-65 with this much clatter on the cheek and portrait. I don't care what photo angle...
Not necessarily. The Kennedy silver inaugural medal is less expensive because the inaugural committee made a strong effort to sell them. Prior to...
Unfortunately these pieces have very little value, even if they are nice. The demand for modern, official inaugural medals in bronze, is limited....
Proof 1964 cents are worth about a dollar, but out of the Proof packaging, they tend to melt like snow balls in July. Leave it where it is.
Lincoln Cents have many values because the series dates from 1909. Most of them are worth 1 Cent with quite a few most of them worth 2 or 3 cents...
Thanks to you all! You have been a lot of help to a beginning collector. I know I have been collecting coins for 60 years, but in this area, I am...
Yes, I should have typed in "right" for the location of the "T." I have fixed it. Thank you for the correction, and the confirmation that we are...
Without looking at the results above, I voted MS-64. The piece has some of the characteristics of a better grade, but there are several little...
The close-up picture looks like an MS-63 to me, which is the way I voted. The whole slab picture makes it look like an MS-64 or 65. I don't like...
I guess we have to face the fact that inflation and debit and credit cards are fast making coins obsolete. Although the occasional commemorative...
I have been trying to attribute the Roman Imperial coins I have using the David Sear books. Sometimes I can the variety exactly, but other times I...
This forum is great because it's not sponsored by a grading company. That makes it possible for us to present some frank and honest opinions about...
