Yes, unfortunately it has been very harshly polished. The reason people do this to a coin is for the very reason you fell for it - it makes it...
Fully prooflike 64D, 68D, 69D, 70D, and 70S have all been graded by NGC. 64D is by far the most "common" with a whopping 17 designated. There are...
The 1925 S nickel is notorious for being one of the worst made nickels of the whole series. That is very evident from the worn dies on the obverse...
The strike of the obverse on the OPs coin is the first sign of the fake.... I've literally never seen one with such a wide planchet that the outer...
Yup, definitely DDD.
https://www.usmint.gov/comic-art-24-karat-gold-proof-coin-superman-25DSG.html Well I'll be danged, he's right. This is an absolutely ridiculous...
So... they aren't coins. They are just bullion rounds produced by the US mint. The title of this thread is misleading.

I got started as a child with the very most basic descriptions in the Red Book. Eventually I got Photograde, and then ANA. I now own the PCGS (for...
You are absolutely correct for a standard coin. If it is worn to the point that the date is unreadable, it is considered ungradeable (unless it is...
They don't. It is listed as "No Date". The date I gave is a best guess based on my knowledge of prooflikes.... they started to become common in...
No, a divining rod does not come included with purchase ;)
The year... probably 1990's to early 2000's... the mint? Probably Philly, San Fran, or Denver?
You are missing a book written by a forum member here. I personally think it's one of the best additions to that stack. I won't say any more to...
Haha, no, it is not like a proof coin... it's a prooflike coin. ;) I collect PL coins... and I love off-center errors like this because it proves...
