That's tough. I don't immediately see anything that indicates AU, but the obverse pic isn't great. Can you try and take another shot of the...
Well, the recommendation seems to be that this show is worth a watch. I'll have to check it out!
Yes, it is probably from an overpolished die. This is the same thing that caused the 3-legged Buffalo nickels.
Yes, I agree. The 1955 appears to have a die crack. The 1956 I'd call a die chip on the wheat stalk. These are actually quite common in that...
Any more guesses for the Sunday morning crowd?
It did seem like there were quite a few. I was even more surprised to see a good number of them at the small local show I went to this week.
Gorgeous coins. I really love the Salzburg. The cathedrals there are amazing, if you ever get the chance to go. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wow, this coin has significantly more wear than I'd expect for a 58. I debated 53 or 55, and ultimately went with 53 based on how much wear I saw....
That is a good book, but it won't help with this particular issue. Tomorrow, I'll get one of my EF Bust halves and make a gif to show you the...
You guys are spot on with the O-103 guess. It is an R-5-, which is one of the reasons I bought it. This is the only rare Overton for the date....

The local coin club here in Charleston has a small show twice a year, usually in February and August. The show was this weekend, so I decided to...

Now, that's the kind of honesty in advertising that I find refreshing.
PCGS so-called "true"views are almost always over saturated, and always far more red than reality. I'll bet in hand this coin is quite attractive...
There have been literally millions of Morgan dollars graded between the top TPGs. 13,000 is nothing, unless they are very rare dates or grades....
Yes. Talk about textile. Wow!
That toning looks perfectly natural to me. Looks like the sort of thing that a coin stored in an album would develop. Given that many people used...
Looks 53 to me. Gorgeous!
They usually do. However, it is usually vague: Cleaned, Repaired, Scratched, Hairlines, Counterfeit....etc. They don't explain why they ruled it...
