It is hard to tell - is there a speck of foreign material at the center of the spot? If so, they will not grade it, you'll need to get the foreign...
The actual percentage isn't nearly as important as the spread. I as the seller would hope for a bit higher percentage. I as the buyer would...
That's actually the first really positive thing I've heard about this - at least I know it will actually be reputable experts. I'm worried what...
Wow. I mean, good for you. But I would not have expected that!
This is apparently a real thing. It doesn't look all coins, however, I'm not sure if you have to select that as a service when you list the coin?...
I'm in the AU-55 camp. Sweet die clash, as is common on the trimes.
At least a decade ago, @robec was using photoshop to remove the prongs from pictures. I'm not proficient in photoshop, but maybe he could share...
The tick on the cheek is a concern, yes. But I'm also concerned about the long wispy mark in the left obverse field. That is highly distracting...

You might be even more stunned to learn that RAW examples like yours are going for $175 on Ebay.
Dang, that's a big one! Congrats on the coin, and congrats on completing the set. Very few collectors ever complete the Morgan set... that is...
I absolutely love these old ANACS certificates. They provide so much detail about how the grade was derived, and provide separate obverse and...
Of particular note - the second picture Heavymetal just posted does show the doubled reverse rim the jeffb flagged. I'd say that's a good sign it...
You probably absorbed it from someone else. Google says the term became popular in the early 2000's. It mentions it was widely used on coin forums...
Heritage's photo's from it's most recent sale definitely show it much more as white metal:...
Haha, don't feel too bad... shooting with a cellphone can be pretty dang hard!
I don't even necessarily think it's niche. I think the majority of collectors prefer original skin on their coins, with nice smooth even surfaces....
I suppose it must be white metal because that's how they were made, but if you ask me (from those pictures) it looks more like bronze. Do you...
Separate names with a comma.
