That's nice. I like the luster. I'll grade 64.
I love overdates. Varieties on gold are cool, and uncommon from what I understand. The only ooverdate I currently own is a 29/27 Capped Bust Half.
Thanks guys! Ripley, I haven't started the French Indo-Chine coinage yet. I only have one piece, a cleaned and retoned (rainbow!) 50 centimes....
That's awesome. I want to buy a gram of gold out of a vending machine just to say that I did, not because I care anything about gold.
Wood grain is cool, in my opinion. As others have stated, it is due to improper mixing in the alloy. I know that for some examples, it will...
Especially love the 57 there, penny lady. I don't collect copper, but I do love toners. I stick with my silver toners though, because I...
That does not look like any error I am familiar with. I would be inclined to say post mint damage. It looks like someone took a quarter and...
Congrats, that's quite a find.
I've never heard of this. What does this do to the value? Do these need to be graded differently? Really cool piece you have there!
$15 is a good price, maybe a little low. Having the date on it certainly adds value. I got a 90% off center Lincoln (no date) at FUN for $6. Off...
Hmm... I may have to confess to doing this. Its even worse when you are active on four different forums, and check all four every hour.
Oh, I definitely agree. The only case where I could see it being of any value would be on the key dates - say a 1952S or 1953S. If I recall,...
Take a look, it all ends Saturday evening. Bid early, bid high, bid often!...
Nice coins and great photos! I really like that trade dollar.
It doesn't look natural to me, but either way I don't care for it.
I use acetone on everything except aluminum. I've never had a problem with it on copper like some people say. To me, it is a helpful and wonderful...
I know NGC designates FBL on strong AU pieces, I have seen several of them. I have also seen many MS-62 FBL pieces, there is a 49 62FBL on Ebay...
Ebay is a great place to buy, if you know what you are looking for and know about what you are looking for. It is also a very dangerous place if...
First, weigh it to make sure its the correct weight. If it is, then yes, it was struck through a very clogged die. If not, then we can talk more.
Rotated dies at 180 degrees are mighty cool
