I'd like to clarify my above comment, not that it's important. I understand the appeal of buying raw. It can be more adventurous in several...
Yeah, you guys are probably right. However, I look at it as a matter of likelihood. There's no shortage of genuine common date Barber Dimes on the...
As others have pointed out, it's been dipped, long enough ago to have developed some haze. It doesn't look to have been polished, judging from the...

Btw, the premium that many collectors attach to PCGS-graded coins doesn't really hold true at upper levels of rarity, where each coin's unique...
Thanks for pointing out the typo. Keep in mind also that a dealer might've bought the NGC coin for a buyer (with deep pockets) whose tastes he...
