Part of the mintage of the 1861-O half dollar was struck under CSA administration. But the other Confederate coins were not mass-produced and only...
Will let you know my opinion on grade when it's in hand. But from the pics I'm thinking AU-55 like many members do here.
You can get 100% acetone at Dollar General, Walmart, Lowe's, True Value, Ace Hardware, or Home Depot (this is not a complete list :p).
Looks like it has large plating defects. Not sure what you mean. I find 1960s and 70s LMCs in circulation all the time. .
Nice coin! Can you show us a pic of the reverse?
Nice set! I'll go first on guessing the grades, even though I'm pretty bad at grading this series. :D 1942-P MS-64FS 1942-S MS-64FS 1943-P...
I think this one has AT/QT.
It's a poor counterfeit. Not sure the secret service will be involved.
Probably worth a small premium to the right collector.
AU-55 Details, cleaned. Definitely worth sending in to PCGS. Still a valuable coin even with the cleaning.
Feel free to knock it :p, it's better than my current 1880 in my Morgan dollar set, which is cleaned with low eye appeal.
Yep - looks like you were the only one who got it right. :D
@Sumzmommy It's a "vise job", someone pressed two coins together in a vise to create this look...Post minting damage (PMD) not an error.
The circle on the obverse is post minting damage from a coin wrapping or rolling machine.
@Eugene Horn Pictures please!
Nice set!
And the final answer is *drumroll.....* [ATTACH]
Environmental damage, post minting damage (PMD) not a mint error.
Thanks for letting us know. (BTW, My favorite type of toning is "crusty" original toning. :D)
Looks like I missed this one. My guess would have been AU-53.
