I totally agree with this. For me, Barber designs in MS/AU have a subtle beauty that quickly wears off as the grade lowers.
Then you mean two points lower, right? I am not an expert grader or an expert on 83 CC Morgans, but that coin is probably in the MS62 range. I...
@Burton Strauss III Is that the grade and slab for the OP's coin?
Thank you all! I have ordered some pure acetone and will try a soak. @Hiddendragon and @Spark1951 - I didn't mean to imply the coin was...
Before I ask my question, let me just state that I know there is no value in this coin and any time or money spent on it will be about love and...

Hey - I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for this thread. I learned a ton. @dcarr and @Jack D. Young - thanks for the photos.
Amen. I agree 100% with this. Cents don't circulate. It is time to move on. The nickel needs a cheaper alloy mix, too. But the composition is...
FWIW @The Half Dime , I don't think you overpaid. PCGS lists the 'book price' for a PR-1 as $250. The last few auctions for this coin have ranged...
Thanks so much, that is super helpful!

Thanks @Pickin and Grinin, that is a great ref
Hi! Thank you all for your help - I am learning a ton from this forum. I need some more feedback/help. I recently picked up this 1928 S SLQ. The...
