I wouldn't say it's worthless. I'd say it's worthless to me.
It is very common for museums to rotate their displays every couple of years. Especially if they have a vast collection and limited space to...
Not going to lie, these are really tough to photograph. Here's mine, MS-64* [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wow. Impressive.
What he's saying is, the high points are a very small area and if there's just a bit of wear, it may be difficult to see (especially in pictures)....
If the reverse toning was the same on the obverse, easy star. However, the obverse here is too dark. No star.
These new pics make it look even more like intentional damage. While reedmarks can and do occur, three parallel sets of nearly uniform marks like...
Yes, I suspect Mr. Rodney and his horse have been dead for quite a few years ;) And, if that's a 68, then I might not be surprised to see the...

This is one of the biggest problems I have with the PCGS photograde app. It is generally quite good - but they have a whole mix of sub-types in...

Perhaps. As I mentioned, there was quite a lot of down-ward guessing on this one. Another recent thread had a far more normal distribution:...
Kinda sad to hear this. As a kid, I relied on the books in my library to learn for free. And I definitely made extensive use of interlibrary...
It looks more like the grips on a pair of pliers. Not sure why pliers would be applied to a coin, but usually "tooling" means some deliberate...
I think the right side of the S is due to the lighting. It doesn't look like damage to me. I see a very, very small mark on the dot to the right...
Some good points there, geek. Yes, I believe anyone who looks at coins regularly will see overgraded and undergraded coins. I think the majority...
Good guesses everyone.... I'm a bit perplexed by PCGS' grade on this one. I've seen worse in AU-55. I think someone mentioned somewhere between 53...
Honestly, its somewhere in between. The seller's photos show it a bit more orange/red than it really is, and my photos show it a bit more blue...
