PS - As a matter of fact the only time I bought coins online without pictures was from the Penny Lady. Turned out good in my opinion.
True - in hand is better. Still, with Ebay - I need good pictures to see if I am willing to pay shipping to and from for that in hand look. Most...
Definetly not bidding, but date on this since it looks off to me. A really funny looking 9 - now I am assuming tooling, but thought I would post...
LOL - how are you going to hire him away from SGS. :)
To me it depends on the coin you are going to be looking at. You try looking at a large cent under something like 30x-40x it makes everything...
Nothing wrong with that - but how do you reconcile that to what is a reasonable price for a coin? For example if buying a raw 1877 indian head...
Dang - it. I saw his answer while trying to find an answer to me about color.
Yeah - but are any of those pictures showing the real color of the coin? All of them seem to show the wood grain effect - but I am not seeing the...
WOW - what a difference.
I agree with AJ - the first coin may be a technical 40, but that is it. The pictures make the coin look flat and cleaned. Better pictures or...
Interesting - not saying right or wrong about anyone. I have seen this on several graded MS coins. As a matter of fact in a couple of cases it...
I got to ask - what is up with the color on the obverse? It makes me think recolored. Like others my first thought was VF, but I would not be...
I agree 64/65 bn based off the pictures. Very nice coin.
I grade it a MS65. Very nice coin - the only distracting feature is that tick mark on the reverse. In the pictures my eye gets drawn straight to...
Just my opinion - for $30 I would keep and then try to get a nice graded example to compare to and study. $30 to is not a costly learning lesson...
Are these proofs? Individual coins or are they Business Strikes? I believe there is a difference in price. I have not researched them in some time.
Wasn't there another thread on this nickel? I looked but did not find it. Could have swore I said I did not see anything in the cherry pickers...
Can believe I missed IHC post. Also that wiki page does not always work for me - might be because someone is working on it. To the OP, but...
It might be AU - at first I thought XF based off what looks like a series of tic marks on left arm. Wait for someone who knows more and be patient...
Easily a VF30 to me. Not quite as nice as the first, but still a nice example. The first one still looks weird around the dentils. Just my opinion.
