It's uncertified and looks recolored (if the photos are at all accurate). And I agree with the "one liner description" red flag. I'd stay away....
I believe this was colored by our POTUS's cosmetician.
I completely understand your reasoning and think the questions you pose (What if a + coin doesn't bean? Does that mean it's low for MS67 or just...
Yeah, "blending of impression" (it must be voiced delicately) is a funny, and blatant, euphemism for a weak strike. As if catalogers are now...
Rather than a partially filled die, is it possible that the relief of the eagle design was simply too pronounced for the metal to fill? Other,...
I'm going to play devil's advocate with this earlier quote of yours (because this topic has bothered me for a while): Technically, the Bean and +...
You just answered my above question. I've not read anything specific from them about the plus; nothing on their website.
I've read this many times on CT. Is this CAC/John Albanese's formal stance? Honest question. Or is it how dealers have been interpreting a bean on...
I think this mark you're referring to is simply a minor graze catching the light differently. I see nastier/deeper scrapes on the chin. Keep in...
This is their explanation of their process in general and doesn't refer specifically to + grades. I don't think anyone really knows what CAC does...
You're opening a can of worms. People (guys, always) spend $500K on old Ferraris. And 22-year-olds are paid $30 million/year to throw a ball over...
Is this the technical answer CAC gives? I didn't believe it was. A "weak plus" is effectively not a plus.
The small indentation on her jawline looks like a planchet flaw. Not PMD. Everything else looks to be superficial. Nice coin!...
The "contact marks" you're referring to are just luster grazes (i.e., no penetration into metal) or this coin would never have made 67. Also, it's...
You said you were going to fill your pockets with large cents and it looks like you did!
You did well.
I have no illusions about this hobby although I agree with you that many do, especially when they're starting out. I've done fine with some...
I went for the first time to an HA auction preview, at Central States going on now. I was anxious to compare a varied list of coins I have been...
I've never been to a CS show but went to the Heritage preview yesterday for the first time—driving over from MI. Wasn't able to go later in the...
And your house example makes my point: You stand to profit if you sell because of favorable market conditions. Your negotiating ability won't have...
Separate names with a comma.
