Judging by the nick under Roosevelt's jaw and the fact that it was in pocket change, I might call it a slider (right around ms-60 on a good day)....
Nothing special here, but maybe a tip for anyone building a NGC 7070 Registry set and wants to cheat a little. For some reason this coin gets you...
What a weird thread! Going from death pools to serious sentiments in a couple quick pages, but still no one touched on the real heart of the...
I was really excited to have snagged this Proof Eagle for a pretty decent price, but once it arrived in the mail...... OUCH! The slab looked like...

If your just talking standard US coins, no commems, bullion or gold, you won't have much trouble. The key dates will cost you some bucks, but I...
Well, not all bullion here either, but silver is silver. I just received the 2 oz Dragon yesterday and wanted to see how well it would get along...
