What I am getting is that you should not drink and post.
While interesting, that did not help. In 1976 there was a: 1. Mint set - 12 coin 2. Mint set - silver - 3 coin 3. Proof set - 6 coin So the...
And finally I submit what I did not know but apparently everyone else did, is that coins are graded "on a curve" - which is BS IMHO but what do I...
gbroke you must work at PCGS and specialize in everything I send in. Yer dern tootin! I am confused now. What's a proof mint set?
!
I can explain it - it's a crappy picture. Here's a better one of the obverse - I turned off the "proof" button on my camera and hit "highlight...
Personally I don't think they are graded the same. I can post (and will later) a few MS65 silver business strike Ikes and a few MS65 clads are...
PS thank you Matthew. I'm sure there's logic in there somewhere.
I had thought that all coins were graded qually, based upon their merits alone. But it seems as if a coin from a mint set, such as the 76-S I...
Your thoughts are as always appreciated. I'm thinking MS63. Not sure why it shows up looking polished - it's not. Right out of the mint set....
But a scratch is a scratch, right? So if that 76-S were a 71-D it would score higher? Not being smart - just trying to figure out PCGS grading...
I'm no grader so let PCGS speak! They call this an MS65: [ATTACH]
Please PM if you have any of these PCGS graded coins for sale. Thank you. 1972 type 1 MS65 1972 type 2 MS64 1976 type 1 MS65 1976 type 2 MS66...
OMG. The markings are ON TOP so you can't see them from the ground. Didn't you ever watch "the X-Files"?!?!?! And they're not FLYING them, they...
OK I had to test this at the newly installed coin counting dealie at Navy Federal Credit Union. I had a bunch of "normal" coins plus my test...
Beautiful reverse - obverse is still lacking in appeal, to me. It's no SBA to be sure, but Gasparro's rejected design for the SBA obverse is still...
I'm no Morgan guru. There's a "line" that runs around almost the entire edge of the reverse. Please see picture. Is this a die crack or ??? Does...
PS: it seems the Mint is finally coming around... http://www.coinnews.net/2012/04/27/2012-american-silver-eagle-san-francisco-two-coin-proof-set/
Well that was certainly one factor, but one of many. In most cases if the person qualified for the loan, Freddie/Fannie/whoever gave it to them....
So I hear great stories of people making bank on these sets by buying the maximum amount allowed and selling the rest. I've seen "unloading"...
