I will buy at Fine prices any problem free Bust halves you have that look like my original coin. I'll empty my savings account and buy them all.
For further comparison, here is an NGC graded EF-45 I also own. The original coin falls nicely between the two in terms of wear, although the raw...
No, the rim on the obverse looks funny because of glare on the mylar plastic holder. There is no rim damage. The coin was probably dipped, but...
Oh, and can you post good pics of ONE CENT on the reverse? I'm asking because there is a very large DDO on the 1971 that your pictures show...
Normally I'm one of the first to say MDD - but this one might not be. Can you give us more and better pictures, including a couple of the whole...
I'm right there with yah treashunt. I would have thought a simple die break would have been far too minor to rank in a monthly price guide....
I don't know of any websites devoted to the subject (although I'm sure there is one) but start with the PCGS Guide to Grading and Counterfeit...
Of course, it might be more expensive to produce, but I would love to see a regular coin webvideo. Hosting it is even less of a problem than a...
Just got this coin raw for a steal of a deal. I'm quite sure its been dipped, but the surfaces look alright - no hairlines or anything major. It's...
I agree Krispy!
Looks like a borderline EF, net VF
I would definitely recommend getting the 4th edition of the Parsley (formerly Overton) book. It was updated and a lot of things were added. But a...
Come on, you're throwing softballs First one looks like a nice VF O-105 R1. Second is an AU O-112a R2. Nice busties :)
Got more close-up pics? How is the strike on this baby? The luster sure looks nice!
lol
Poor coin looks to have some environmental damage. I'm not sure its worth sending to NCS, but something should be done to try and rescue that...
Definitely looks like an RPM. I don't think its MDD because I don't see anything on the date. I'm not so sure about the DDO. There are none...
Sometimes the truth is harsh. And it is very true that this is not an error. It is very true that this is incredibly common. And it is very true...
I'll call it EF, but I wouldn't go any higher than that. The value of this buffalo has nothing to do with grade.
It is a weak strike or worn dies. Not only is this extremely common, there is absolutely zero premium for this, and it will actually decrease the...
