I'll go with maybe the survival ratio for that particular year. I can say that I haven't paid over 60 for a ms Philly cent yet except for 1914...
So I'm collecting the entire wheat series with a mandate that all Philly Cents must be MS Plus. For some reason I've found it incredibly...
I have a few of those as well and have a really pretty 52 proof in a PCI slab which doesn't take much research to verify their reputation. Only...
So I've always presumed that the higher mintage non key dates are far less suspect than the big ticket items. Hence, I really haven't given it a...
Thanks, I got my smile for the day!
All great opinions and much appreciated. I may keep it but will probably sell or trade it to someone who collects the holder. What I really want...
A quick question...have any of you actually submitted a coin to get the CAC bean? Just wondering what the rejection ratio is. Myself, I've found...
And other's like @redcent230 may be more blunt...but still spot on in their assessment. :happy:
Funny but I think I see a circulation worn Eisenhower, I had no idea that those even existed!
Key is to buy from someone you trust who will backup the coin. I would never buy an expensive key date (i.e. Lincoln S VDB) without it being...
Welcome to the forum! As you can see, even the most expert of coin collectors like @BadThad are glad to answer your questions. You are in your...
First let met say lol @ikeigwin ! I was thinking the same thing, but I guess that's why it's called a rattler! As for color/strike @SuperDave I...
Again my pictures really don't do the coin justice. @jtlee321 photos would have slab collectors salivating at the color/strike. This is...
Has anyone here ever purchased a coin that was slabbed and then wish they hadn't? I'm currently working my way toward collecting an entire set of...
Thanks for the opinions and apologies for the poor pictures. The coin is in a coin capsule. I'll try to remove it and get a better picture. I...
Hello, I posted something similar but really wasn't specific enough. I recently acquired a 1922-D MS coin. I feel I'm really good grading up to...
Looks nice to me. I do prefer to see a hint of mint luster though which is a bit more challenging to see in pics of toned coins and especially...
Thanks for the opinion. I think it'll pass TPG though it would be interesting to hear if others have had issues.
Yeah, the his and her Lincoln's may have to wait a bit. With the coin bug having bitten, my car payment money is getting a bit diverted. As for...
I agree with the previous posts. I am very slowly building a 19th century type set and used this site to get a checklist. What's nice about...
