I am seeing die erosion around the rim on the obverse and reverse. The extra image you see around the letters is a plating issue. Both of...
It is tricky to tell AU vs. Unc from your pictures, but I'm going to lean towards AU details. Unfortunately, it has also been cleaned and AT'd....
In hand, if the luster is strong, I guess 66 is a good grade for it. They were not designating FB at the time this coin was graded, but it doesn't...
Ouch, those gouges on the cheek are quite severe. I'd grade the obverse no higher than 62. The reverse looks nice, and semi-prooflike, probably a...
Yes, it does appear to be a 1960 quarter with toning. The coin looks to be AU, and the toning is attractive but not really unusual or...
Probably a 63, with a good chance at 64.
Your pictures are *extremely* shifted to the yellow. Can you try taking pictures with a more accurate color? I'll bet it is an attractive...
That is a very pretty grade. I can't tell much about the coin from the pics. I'm guessing it is attractive in hand, but looks really bright white.
Interesting answers, everyone. I thought the pictures were clear, but I guess not. PCGS called this coin AU-58. I think it is actually 55.
Yes. It is a cast fake. The entire coin is wrong. Not even close.
These are tricky coins, and I know there are a lot of counterfeits. For the purposes of educating the members (to avoid these sorts of problems),...
Well, I've spent enough time in the Error Forums here to know that this cent is actually a really good find. This cent is a steal at $30!
I am a "Senior Member." Which I find really funny, because I'm probably younger than most of you.
Yup, I can tell that it is a proof from those pictures. I will also tell you that it probably grades less than 70. That is about as far as I'll...
That is very nice. I'm going to say 64BN, but hope you got 65.
Dang, that coin is Hammered! (pun intended ;) )
While I agree with your list of the vices, I'm still not sure how they apply to numismatics, or what you are saying turns you off.
I'm really not sure what you are saying turns you off? If I cherrypick something, I'm going to brag about it. If I buy something at a great...
That toning is not consistent with patterns normally associated with traditional coin storage methods.
NGC stopped using the multi-coin slabs several years ago. They are still available for bulk (dealer-only? maybe) submissions, but the average...
