Still can't see any obvious wear. I might be wrong, though. Nice coin!
Meh, I saw a bunch of morgans in NGC holders at the store, and balked. 64? 65? Whaaaaaaaaaat? Most of these would have gotten a 62-63 maximum by...
Pictures are not big enough to detect a potential slider, and the toning would make it hard anyway. I'll go ahead and say MS-64. I think most...
For $30, that's a nice buy! Congrats.
Really, really light cleaning can be hard to detect and sometimes will be apparently there if it isn't, or vice versa. With harsh cleaning, it's...
That's a really good deal, but it's listed at $60 on numismedia in that grade, so probably not worth it.
I like the one with photos 5th and 6th from the bottom, stunning.
A lot of coins do, unfortunately : ( Difficult to grade from photos.
This one is certified by PCGS. Shield has separated lines but they don't show well in the photo. I will post the grade after some responses. [img]
The coin will probably have even more detail once cleaned up, so I'll go with VF-20 details because of the reverse. Looks like your photo of the...
Not a 19/8 unfortunately, looked at a normal PCGS 1819 MS 62, and the date looks just like this. I'd only grade AU-50, the wear on the upper part...
I doubt this is a counterfeit, just because it's not worth much.
I would agree that it might have been a jewelery coin, too. Edges look a little off. But that might just be the photo. I also can't really see any...
If it was cleaned, wouldn't there be evidence of it in fine scratches/hairlines? I checked for them and didn't find any. If it looks polished (I'm...
Funny thing is that I didn't notice the chop mark in the wing until about a month ago. I've had this coin for 5+ years.
Why? I could perhaps go to 63 on the classic head half cent, maybe AG+ on the worn 1921 because of the reverse in retrospect. Fair enough. But...
The 'scratch' through '900' is the chopmark, actually. I didn't think much of the hit on L before, but eh....I'll have to look into the polished...
i don't see a question to the authenticity of that one. The only one people have questioned is the trade dollar. The reason I was taken aback by...
Yeah, there's two minor chopmarks. I didn't notice the ding before (it's the same one, you're seeing it from both sides) because it was hiding in...
Really? Can someone direct me to a page about polishing doing this? I examined it under magnifying glass also and didn't find evidence of alteration.
