For some reason I just can't get into the "supercoins". I was at the show (a Whitman if I recall correctly) where ALL five of the 1913 Liberty V...
With the amount of "noise" on the cheek and the other apparent luster breaks I'd say you've got an MS-62.
I've been twice to the Philly Whitman show, but not this year. Very disappointed both times. It just doesn't seem to draw like the Baltimore...
IMO send it to whomever you want. I think it's a go from any of the TPG's.
Actually I see (to use your terminology) three tiers of "respect" in the TPG's. 1. PCGS and NGC 2. ANACS and ICG 3. SEGS and PCI The closer you...
You didn't specify so I'll add to your question "... for collectors". NOTICE that I'm excluding bullion investors. Now I'll respond IMO it is...
If you want to go to the final step, acetone should do the job.
I'm leaning towards a 'yes, it will go into a graded slab'. Coins with a gash in their surface get graded all the time, but obviously at a lower...
Strongly struck but I think I'm seeing hints of finger prints on it.
The general procedure for cleaning debris from a coin is to go from the gentlest to the most potent BUT avoiding rubbing and dips. IMO use these...
Yeh, when the Gov't (and everyone else) pulled silver out of circulation in 1964 the Mint had to ramp up coin production. The production of 1964...
Nice coin (I think). My main comment is that you need to review your imaging techniques. Contrast is poor so that the coin has no "life" (often a...
The good thing for me about this coin is that it's NOT a business strike. I only collect business strikes. And I don't collect proofs hence I'm...
I see NO doubling, not even machine doubling. As for the line in the loop of the "9", it appears to be caused by a die scratch.
Agreed. And other than the verdigris the only other thing I see is the blob in the lower loop of the "B". That I would label a "die chip".
This is what I would have said.
A close up would be nice to see. Lots of 1943's were well struck.
Just for possible future reference. As your collection grows IF you think about insuring it you'll need a fire resistant safe.
Use the right descriptors and there'll always be people to flock to your listing. That coin doesn't even appear to be FBL. Just think what would...
First, grading is subjective so there's often leeway given in some cases. As I understand it US grading goes with the grade of the worse side....
Separate names with a comma.
