Perhaps there already is a price difference? I happen to own a VF35 Trade Dollar with a CAC sticker with truly original, attractive surfaces. I...
35, maybe light cleaning but market acceptable.
I used to have a Trade Dollar with surfaces exactly like this one that was in a straight graded PCGS holder.

I've not had much success flipping for profit. This may be due partly to the fact that I only buy already certified coins online. Cherry picking...
I've had coins that looked improperly dipped and this was especially visible when tilting the coin. Like a funky sort of residue that isn't...
In 1983 there were cents that got plated with brass instead of copper due to zinc bleeding into the copper, that's what I was referring to. Not...

There's really no magic to any of it. Just don't overpay for coins when you buy them so that when you sell them you may not make money, but at...
Based on the Great Southern logo on a raw coin I'm going to say UNC details cleaned :-( But if it looks as good in hand as in the photos it has...

None of the options we are discussing matter if the seller has unrealistic expectations. This is why most items on EBay go unsold regardless of...
I always have a negative reaction to hidden reserves. When I see multiple bids on an item with a low price I open the listing, but when I see the...
The design looks right to me but the surface roughness makes me wonder. With so much wear it's hard to tell if it's environmental damage or from...
Looks AU-ish to me and well struck. Even so I'd rather have yours than a dipped MS, I like the original skin.
I noticed the milky toning spots on the 80 S and that brings me to a question. How much does that hurt a coin's grade and/or make it ungradeable?...
A Saint would be very far down on my list. Not only would it blow most of my year's budget, but it is a common generic coin that is expensive due...
The lights in my house are a combination of incandescent, CFL and LED along with plenty of daylight, just like everyone else's house. If the look...
I've been seeing a lot of problem free certified coins in GSC auctions as well. I stay just as far away from those as their raw stuff because I...
