The pictures make it look like a nice strong mirror. Congrats! On a scale of 1885 being really easy to find to 1921 being super hard, where does...
I think AU is a tad generous, EF-45 fits better for me. Can you post a couple of pics with alternate lighting? I don't see signs of harsh...
Dang, I had no idea it had been this long. I just checked a batch of world coins I submittted around the New Year, and they did not have the new...
If y'all don't have any of these stickers, feel free to scan the QR code and bring up my new coin. I've already added it to my Registry, so no...
Affordable might mean one thing to you and something very different to me. Can you be more specific with the price range you have? There are...
Before 1936, there was no such thing as a "proof set." Collectors could write to the mint, or visit the mint in person, and buy proofs for a small...
Its entirely possible that some of these were made for a game, or a childrens toy, and were never intended to be convincing fakes.
A while back, PCGS came out with a new slab with a really cool feature - tap the slab with your phone, and it brings up the PCGS verification page...
1819: VF-35 1823: AU-50 (but I like it better at 45). Great doubling on the profile!
I think one of the biggest things I don't like about this coin, and several of the dollar coins you posted in a recent thread, is the "mushiness"...

I've never seen a fake with convincing Longacre Doubling like your 1887 has. Unfortunately, it might be "guilty by association" with the others.
After looking at them more, I have doubts about the 1854 as well.
The 84S is definitely a rim ding, classic presentation. The 99 is a (very small) cud.
Yes. It depends on how exactly the fake was made. Die clashes are incredibly common on gold dollars. If they used a genuine dollar with a clash as...
There are at least 12 different areas on this coin that signal red flags. And the more I look at it, it the more I see. The fact that there is a...
The 1855 is fake, for sure. The others look good at first glance.
I just bought 3 rolls of quarters below spot... Couldn't believe it. Guy had a sign with current spot prices, but was running a special on...
Not sure where you got that from, but that's the cost for *1* gram, not 100
I've seen numbers more like $120,000 per ounce ;) But, back to the point of your thread - watching silver yesterday was an exciting experience....
