I don't believe dirt will knock a coin down to AU - wear yes, but not dirt alone. Assuming of course the dirt has not damaged the coin itself.
I don't think so - the point of curl over 8 is wrong and the 5 looks way to close to the hair. Just my opinion.
Thanks for all the comments. Under the nose looks like a well placed little tick mark, but the only way you see it is looking dead on at it. It...
Yeah - seeing an example of what you are talking about makes a difference. Usually you go with the lower grade, but a weak strike would make a...
I understand and I agree. My main point was IHC's don't have to be high grade for me to like them. My second point was - I also have some graded...

You know - I actually agree with your choice of grade on the 1811. Now having said that - the holder says VF30 and I am still more than please...
Got it - thanks for the info.

Nice finds and a good buy on the 1943 cents.
Does not look like wear to me and I believe brown is the correct designation. I think a MS63BN accurate - I knocked off a couple of points for...
I wish I could go - just to see what was all there.
Coin collecting - I have not seen anything I really wanted to bid on in a month. Seems like the coins I like are going for too much. I did win...
Show off! :hail:
Well I think the coin is legit, but not an error. It looks like hit on the mint mark - but an old hit. And I agree that it has been dipped a few...
Cool find!
