Wonderful proof T$! I just love these. IMO it looks like a technical 65 but I don't think it will upgrade unless those spots can be removed. And...
Don't buy raw gold on eBay. Lance.
Is it comparable to this, in terms of wear? This is a VG10. An 1898 in this condition, problem-free (no cleaning, damage, etc.), is worth about...
The seller is responsible for the successful delivery. If it does not arrive, you do not pay. eBay will back you up on this. This is also the...
I agree. Axial lighting is great for toned proof and proof-like coins. But really not necessary for much else. That's a very cool set-up! Nicely...
I went through a whole bottle of Slab Renew. When I needed more I bought PlastX and saved a lot. It's just as good. Only downside is that spots on...
I'm not sure it's worth NCS conservation and grading. If you are correct in your grade guess the coin has a market value of roughly $50-80. Better...
I believe you can request a prong holder with a "reholder" order. Just cite it on the order. Bill Jones shows an example of a lovely 1794 S-21...
That's a good point, DG. The rim on an unplated steel cent would likely be rougher and somewhat different in color...duller. You can actually feel...
I think Eddie's guess is correct. I have two replated steel cents, part of an estate set I bought last year. In hand they look incredibly clean,...
Sounds like you did well. Congrats. The difference in price between a 67 and 68 is staggering. And yet 68's are always in high demand. I've been...
No problem...those are all MS65. The IHC is RB. I hope your friend finds the coin! Lance.
You betcha. And the expert testimony is coming from the BEST (like RWB). But look at the results from jury trials in the news. Jurors have gotten...
I agree. Details grading is for those who do not know how to grade. Anyone who buys this as a "genuine" will have an appreciation for the coin...
Like a lot of you I would really like to see the Langbord's win this. Maybe some shady stuff occurred. But I figure if the gov't can't prove...
Three great coins. Here are examples. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
"Moot" point not "mute". You are probably better without it. "No returns" is usually a warning sign. If it's a nice piece the seller should...
Very nice! I agree...it is a very pretty design. Lance.
That's spectacular! What a find. I wonder if someone is heartsick over losing it. If that's verdigris at the E in E. PLURIBUS treat it soon so it...
Most certainly get it graded! It may "genuine" and may not...I've seen worse get cleanly graded. The important thing is that, once slabbed, it's...
