Is it just me or does anyone else have trouble judging grade from an upside-down image? LOL. Lance.
These are very difficult to grade. Few draped bust dollars have full details. Wear points to examine are the hair (highest points), Liberty's...
Genuine 92? I hope not! Lance. edited to add: F15-VF20 details
I'm with Rob on this! Here's a toned T$ I bought from a forum member ATS. It's an XF45 with surprising luster. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
That's heart stopping! Is it yours? Nice! Lance.
Because it was minted before the Civil War? I think the antebellum period is strictly defined as between the war of 1812 and the Civil War, or...
I agree. With GDJMSP. About the Morgan being AU, not MS. And probably dipped, but not damaged. Hard to judge the luster from here. I chuckled...
Without the benefit of seeing the reverse I can't imagine the '78 will go higher than 62 and I'd vote for 60-61. The '81 looks like a 63. JMO. Lance.
If you'd like I'll submit it for you. PM me if you are interested and we can take this offline. No need to PM if you'd rather not. Lance.
Even a single grade bump would be worth it, twice the value. MS63, four times. MS64, twenty times, more or less. MS60-61 are usually very...
Welcome to CoinTalk. Enjoy your time here. The original coin is very valuable, yes. Copies of any kind are not. Your mini gold coin is worth no...
If it's mostly about money/value then a diluted dip in e-z-est is worth it. Most all the toning will be lost...what you like and may not like. It...
Have you done the reflection test with a ruler and newsprint? Looks pretty close to PL, IMO. Lance.
I have no doubt this seller misused those terms, gem and AU, and that those WLH's aren't close to AU. But sometimes it is descriptive to call a...
Could be a dropped letter. Is it incused? Often there is some strike weakness around the letter dropped (die still partially filled), which I...
Nice! Yes, you did quite well. Now don't accidentally spend it! Lance.
My guess is the spot (and it is very, very tiny) is from some airborne contaminant. Humans expel particulates through breathing, coughing,...
Here is a PCGS 1955-S, 67RD. I paid $125 for it. PCGS has graded 227 67RD's and just one 68RD. What appears to be scratches at the shoulder and...
Barf. I just lost my appetite for lunch. Lance.
I would run the other way. It's a problem coin. But if you can be happy with it and the price is right, go for it! Lance.
