I just picked up this 1859 large cent certified VF30 by ICCS and was wondering what is going on with the reverse. Could this be a planchet issue...
I would either buy a Bust Dollar or split the money between three or four nice certified 19th century type coins. As for currency, the $500 FRN...
I don't at all disagree. I haven't gotten very deep into any series because I like type collecting. If I was collecting VAM's I would certainly...
Here is a prime example of why reference materials are more important for some areas of the hobby than others. This would also apply to obsolete...
After the Russian Revolution and resulting Civil War left the economy in shambles, the new Soviet government instituted the "New Economic Policy"...
It's one thing when notes and coins become worthless due to hyperinflation, and another when they are nearly worthless when minted. I can...
So that must be a really difficult series for counterfeit detection, considering the coins are cast and made in China to begin with lol...

My understanding of the most recent bill is that online businesses with under $1M in annual revenue would be exempt. That would cover most coin...
That's exactly why I never buy raw coins from online auctions. Even if a raw coin looks good, I can never be sure that it doesn't have a problem...
It does sound very profitable until they change the rules one too many times. Then the whole exercise will become meaningless.
I was guessing that the grade would be a surprise at the opposite extreme. It makes me wonder about their consistency...
I would say VG8 on the obverse as there is very little detail remaining on the bust. The left wing shows even more feather detail than the VG10...
