Hi folks. This variety of the 1840 half dollar is rare enough in its entirety but there are also two sub-varieties. WB-101 is the main variety...
FWIW - the coin is much darker in hand, not awful, but not as attractive as the picture. Owner must have used bright lighting to get the color to...
Just for discussion sake - I understand from the experts here that these there are coin doctors that can do AT that is indistinguishable from...
PCGS AU55! pretty close y"all - I don't own it yet. Have to see it in hand. Price is higher than I would like but in line with book. It would...
won't say yet what the grade is, but it is a full grade, not details (whether deserved or not? no comment).

Monster toning? hmm. How does one determine the line between nice toning and monster toning?

My impression from my prospecting for a Carson City Morgan dollar "type" coin from 1882 - i.e., I was looking for a certified 1882CC $1 with nice...
Well done. Good thread!
Very simple - I probably spent as many as quarters as I've managed to save once I realized they had no use other than saving them for a rainy day!...
If we had a gambling wing on this group, and if we could make bets on whether or not the OP was legit - I would put my money on "no".
Yeah, I think that's it. Not too bad!
Updated picture of OP coin. Better in hand than in the pictures. This picture is a bit more in focus. I think there might be a chance of...
