The obverse looks F and the reverse looks VG to me. $25 was a good price.
When I was a kid, there were a lot of canadian coins circulating around. I don't know why because for the most part it is rare to see one...
Keep them. There is no chance that they will ever be worth less than $3 and some chance that they could be worth a lot more to someone someday.
Ranchhand, thanks for writing such a lengthy post. I've learned a lot about ANACS from reading it.
My limit was probably about $250 a few years ago, but it's been steadily dropping and if I don't buy something from the Mint, it's all the way...
It doesn't make sense for a grade to exist, yet have no coin qualify. I don't know if there is any precedent for this in any other area of life....
I'm hoping the internet dealers lower their prices too. So far they seem to be sticking to their guns on the morgan and peace dollars. I haven't...
Great analysis. Very thought-provoking. The variations in the 1831 large cent pricing are almost frightening over that short of a timeframe....
There are no universally accepted and enforced grading standards. Even if there were, grading is still a subjective judgement. The TPGs vary in...
Okay, thanks. It's just that I occasionally see some completely white EF an VF morgans with pretty good price discounts because of the...
Just as a caution to all, giving or taking investment advice is fraught with danger. For example, the post above fails to mention that CEF and...
All things considered, I'd rather have conditions unfold to enable me to purchase a few Morgan dollars at better prices, so higher silver won't...
The second coin looks more appealing to me. It seems to have more detail, but that might just be the photo.
In my case, I have a lot of trouble grading mint state coins and distinguishing between the small differences that account for a lot of the price,...
Moen, I'm just trying to help John Locke stop spinning in his grave. But to get back on topic for a minute, if a circulated coin in EF or VF...
This is completely off topic, but the above statement is completely false. The Constitution is a collection of defined powers delegated by the...
I keep looking for inefficiencies, but the coin market is pretty efficient. This isn't the same thing as the high bid/ask spreads between the buy...
Vroomer. Just make sure you shower. It won't decrease your value.
The TPGs are being paid to grade and slab the coin. If the grade is VF-Cleaned or XF-Rim Damage, then that should be on the holder so that...
On day one I automatically assumed that older coins were worth more than newer coins regardless of condition, and I cleaned some coins with a...
Separate names with a comma.
