Don't expect such results all the time. Give it time ;)
They do just fine if ya know how ;)
Sure glad you answered that - I forgot to :headbang:
Just make sure to remember that you cannot grade other coins by comparing them to pictures in a book. The pics are terrible.
I have no doubt that the mark occurred while the coin was in circulation. Call it a scratch, a cut, a gouge - call it whatever you like. The point...
I think a little yes, but they too make allowances for keys. They all do. Personally, I do not think that allowances should be made when it comes...
Don't know of any books on the subject, but by reading enough you can find out that in the beginning they were carved entirely by hand, one by...
More likely a piece of string (thread from a rag) than a wire Charmy. Mint workers use rags to wipe down the dies or the presses on a regular...
Has to be more to it than that. All of them from '47 thru '58 had the same holders, but only the '58 is really known for spectacular toning. Sure...

Depends, what is the gold fineness in this coin ? Not all of them are .900 or higher fineness. So if it is say .500 - then it wouldn't be a good...
The 2 threads have been merged.
Apologies to whoever wrote the article, but there is one big problem - a good bit of that info is flat out wrong. For example, the following are...
The coin is a fake - a harshly cleaned fake at that. edit - it is even stamped COPY !
I also agree that the coin should have been body-bagged. On a coin the size of a quarter that scratch on the wing is more than enough to bag a...
No way it'd make 64 IMO - 63.
