Hey all - got some great coins for you guys today, and I'm willing to make a deal. Just send me a PM, the cost of shipping and Paypal are...
As some of you may know, I'm working on a type set where every single coin in the set is Prooflike. You can see my progress here: [IMG]
In the US scale, it would be a mid-range AU (53 maybe?). In the British scale, it would be EF.
I'd call it EF
Even a super cheap point and shoot camera does a better job than a scanner. Heck, most phones these days are better than scanners.
That's a pretty Gobrecht. I like these coins, but they are generally too expensive for my tastes.
Assuming the luster is there, and assuming there are no hidden problems in the fields, this one tops out at 65. There is absolutely zero chance...

Unless you are specifically collecting a certain type of slab (such as a rattler, doily, black, etc), I highly recommend you look at all...
The term "milk spots" has been around for a long time. Tomaska used the term to describe the spotting you sometimes see on mid-20th century proofs...

LOL to the censored Dahomey coin.
Assuming its genuine, I wouldn't be surprised by EF-40, or 45.
Looks like an attractive coin, but it is not worth the cost/fees/shipping/insurance etc. Enjoy it as it is.
Didn't watch the whole video, but I skimmed it. What are you considering purchasing? A point and shoot camera? Yes, I used that for a long time,...
There are professional associations for coin dealers, but they are generally ineffective, corrupt, or pointless. The ANA and PNG come most quickly...
My sister gets one whenever she sees them. She loves them. They are neat mementos of our travels, but I wouldn't say we "collect" them.
If you are looking for circulated silver 3-cents, it might make more sense to browse the raw sections and send them in for yourself. Coins in the...
No. Graders, especially those in the modern room, use naked eye grading. They only use magnification if something catches their eye (error,...
I guess I'm a little late on this - but I'll say I was about 5 points lower than NGC on almost all of them.
