Looks to be a 2 reale to me. I agree little if any value though, less than $10 probably. And Jason, it's Carlos IIII not the III.
I'd say it has to do with subdued luster more than anything else.
Like I said Ruben you have to experiment because every single coin is going to react differently.
Good question. Of course you'd have to ask the same question about any special designation on any coin since NGC is tougher than PCGS on all of...
Truth be known, I almost said 64. But decided to give the benefit of the doubt because of the pics. ;) edit - btw, no way that Peace is a 62....
Yeah, a whole lot of experimentation. What is required is getting the dip to just the perfect strength. Not easy to do because every coin is...
Gotta be my usual self, can't go higher than 65. Marks on the neck, the cheek, the obv field, that's as high as I could grade it. Have no doubt...
Highly doubtful. NGC has been grading approx 50% more coins per month than PCGS has for quite a few years now.
Race I'd say you got a fair offer from that dealer. Been there, done that, twice. Other offers may vary slightly but there will be little...
Let me put it this way, you have a long hard road ahead of you. In order to be effective at what you want to do you have to learn a ton first. Can...
Enough about the language issue ! Drop it. Keep your comments to the thread topic.
That print is there forever.
Yes, in a way I am condoning it I suppose. But more than anything I am merely stating that it can be done, which is contrary to what most people...
The answer varies with each individual coin. In some cases the Proof will be worth more, in other cases the MS will be worth more.
For NGC, all 3 bands have to be clear, distinct and unbroken. For PCGS, only the middle band has to be clear, distinct, and unbroken.
No, it isn't. The top band has break on the far left.
Well that's kind of because it would take 50 pages of posts to describe with words how to detect if a coin has been harshly cleaned or not....
Sometimes you don't. The coin you linked to, why would anybody even want to clean it ? I see no dirt and grime on it, I see nothing on it but what...
Left is BU, right is AU.
Are you qualified to do this ? And if you are, why would anybody want you to do it when they can go to any coin dealer and do the same thing ?
Separate names with a comma.
