More importantly, what are your picks for the worst design?
My opinion of third-party grading is neutral. The goal of TPGs was to help clean up the numismatic market of the...
Welcome to the forum! The 1.8 gram token is too light by about 25%. There are small differences in weight between Feuchtwanger tokens because...
Weight is an excellent way to rule out fakes. A real and non-chopmarked trade dollar should weigh 27.22 grams, and the mint tolerance level for...
I say AU-55. The legends often do come poorly struck, especially 'United States', and a little lack of detail in the breast feathers and the...
Expanding on satootoko's list: $100 - 2002 P 11,502 2003 P 8,007 2004 P 7,009 $50 - 2002 P 24,005 2003 P 17,409...
Looks like a little luster remaining on the reverse, but not enough for AU. XF-45
Everything is negotiable. I usually just ask the dealer what the lowest is he can go on a coin, and if I'm willing to pay that, done deal, if not,...
If it's not actually a mark, but more of a light reflection when the coin is turned, it is due to a weak strike.
Nope, that is only when you're selling them. When buying, they are all MS/PR 70.
Doesn't get any more perfect than that.. I say 70!:thumb:
Not a bad score at all! Most of the 20th Anniversary submissions to PCGS are 69's with the occasional 68 or 70 thrown in, so that's about right....
The shipping date on my order is showing as 12/08 (today is 12/11!) - what's up with this? Anyone else have the same shipping date? I ordered on...
Looks like a nice VF-20 IMO.
A few recent Heritage auction results for 1950-D 50C MS66 Full Bell Lines PCGS: July 11, 2006 $1,725.00 June 3, 2006 $1,495.00 June 3, 2006...
Looks like a 66 FS, though I'm not familiar with Jeffs.
That coin is CLEARLY A FAKE! J/k! :) Very nice :thumb: What's she graded?
Thanks for the excellent posts ND86 :thumb: IMO, most of the problems collectors and the collecting community have with the Mint and certain...
I wasn't aware the U.S. gov. got anything out of the sale except the $20 fee to monetize the coin? Can anyone confirm? One thing for sure, the...
I have to disagree with your disagreement. In Photograde, James Ruddy writes, "The quality of striking of a coin- whether it is sharply defined,...
