That is a 64 that got a color bump to at least 65 at PCGS, maybe even 66. I'd grade it 64+* The obverse toning on that thing is incredible.
Good guesses everybody! PCGS called this one an MS-64. Several of you got it right, which is awesome!
Yup, it is definitely the O-116, considered an R3. This one is super easy for those of you who use Dave's bust half site... since this is the...
Haha, I do have a PL bust half, but I bought that years ago. Good guesses, everyone, I will reveal this evening!
I bought this coin a little while ago, but I haven't posted it yet. @messydesk recently took these excellent pictures, so I figured I'd share it....
Here are a couple of mine with some pretty special cracking. Both of these are nearly terminal die state. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
There usually isn't much of a premium for a crack, unless it is large and dramatic. The closer the die is to failing, the bigger and more...
I sent this coin to @messydesk for some professional photos, and... I am extremely happy. He was able to capture everything about this coin that I...
I'm quite certain this is not what you meant.... but it is 3.52g (which is just slightly over 1/10 oz). A Moroccan Benduqi. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wow, great black and white contrast on that PL dollar!
Did you submit them raw? Or were they crossovers? How do the grades compare to what you expected, or what Cointalk predicted (if you posted...
I like those pictures even better, especially that obverse. Dang, that's killer.
The pictures are too overlit to really get a good feel. But, 65 or 66, max.
These might not be "fingerprints" per se... they are probably "palm prints." The palms of your hands have the same texture as your fingertips, and...
This is my own personal opinion, and others will disagree, but I absolutely despise fingerprints and palmprints on my coins (especially "UNC"...
Dang, I love the lime greens and yellows, if that picture looks like the coin in hand!
Show us the coin?
Dude, I've never seen a bill so close to Pi! That's cool! As you may be able to tell from my user name, I'm sort of a fan.
Totally support the crossing - but just send it to NGC for crossover. They'll crack it themselves if it crosses at your minimum grade. If you...
That coin looks quite fake to me. Sorry.
