Agree with the above. And a glob of glue on the reverse that held it in somebody's coin book. Once a coin has experienced this much wear and tear...
In my little dream world.... The internet will die and we will go back to standing in a small shop with the dealer of your choice haggling over...
You have a bicentennial Eisenhower dollar. To me it is a very cool coin and one that inspired me to become a rabid coin collector in my youth back...
Well darn it..... I had my fingers crossed that dollar might drop a grade.... And into my affordability range.... Wink-wink....
Oh no kidding! Now I am jealous! That one ranked right up there as a dream coin with an 09-S, VDB for me as a kid. And I still don't have one....
That is one beat up old lady there. Looks like it left the mint in a bag of gravel.
I would want to keep them together. A larger slab would be ideal. Invariably down the road they would become separated if in different slabs and...
I know right?? Like rotary telephones, fax machines, 8-track tape players..... And what on earth I am I supposed to do with two hundred VCR tapes??

That would be tough. It is hard to remember a time when we didn't all have cameras at the ready. Wasn't that long ago (in my mind) that my wife...
Two of them to date.
I appreciate that. With my years of knowledge being around middle-late 19th and early 20th century coins, I rather had a hard time seeing a VF20...
Nope. Have to disagree. The worst thing any man can do is tell his wife that her backside looks mighty big in those new blue jeans. Ask me how I...
I sleep with my company’s profit & loss report. You better believe I am motivated by profit. That means I have more to blow on coins.
The coin itself is not rare. However it is odd to see one this worn.
Digging up a counterfeit common quarter while metal detecting. That’s just the ultimate cruel find.... If the oddity of the thing wasn’t so cool.
Not at all. You can also use a mix of vinegar and peroxide. It will show a ghost of a date overnight. There is one trade off. It will turn your...
Separate names with a comma.
