I see both sides of the story. On one hand, there's a place for it. There is tons of garbage on ebay, and the 'big' sellers are much of the time...
G-4 overall on the '12-S VG-10/F-12 (borderline because of weak reverse) on the 1905-S, rim damaged.
These are just wild guesses (because I'm not really good with this series), but... VF details corroded for the 1877 VG-10 for the 1908-S and F-15...
I'd buy the entire mintage of 1802 half dimes!
Heh, watch the market for 'blast red' older coins tank a bit, since there's no real guarantee any more.
My personal opinion is that perhaps the market for certain areas of coins (especially commons in very high grade) has fallen, but it doesn't seem...
I was the one who sold him the coin. I myself wasn't sure if it was an AU-58 or MS, and posted it over on coincommunity (where the consensus was...
I would say better than AG-3, maybe VG-8 based on the obverse (however, could drop if the reverse is weak). Given that it does not have problems,...
I would return it ASAP.
Pretty poor artificial toning job. Usually, 'crayon' colors, especially when combined with a cleaned coin indicate artificial toning....
The only no drapery seated half is 1839, right? In that case, I've actually seen prices upwards of 60 for messed up G-4/G-6 coins, and well into...
I would call it questionable. The reverse looks okay, but the obverse just looks really dipped and unnatural.
Half Cent....I think around $50 is average, give or take $10 for more common types/dates Twenty Cent, around $100 Trade Dollar....a low grade...
I doubt it is a fake, just because circulated 1884 morgans are not really worth that much.
I agree...even from the poor photos, color/surfaces/denticles all look weird.

I would say that it's probably just the photo, if indeed it is in a PCGS slab like it appears to be (to me anyway).
Nah it looks okay, definitely not 66, but 63 is probably right.
Appearance does not look genuine.
