The coin is over-lit so I would recommend not putting too much stock in interpretation of its surfaces.
I haven't read the entire thread, but will mention that it might be entirely possible that CAC agrees with the grade or thinks it currently...
Good luck finding examples with great meat and original surfaces. I attempt to keep these in my inventory for my clients, but they tend to be...
I like the board with the coins and would keep them in there. It's been 30+ years that they might have been in there, so what the heck, keep them...
The TPGs have proprietary grading standards that may or may not coincide with the ANA grading standards. If you disagree with a grade, I think it...

People who know Barber coinage will know that a mid-grade 1897-S quarter is rare as hen's teeth. Add to that the fact that this coin is the very...
If your kids have no interest and you are hoping to leave them something then perhaps $1,500 plus a mint state 1938-D Buffalo nickel for each?...
UPS is happy as a clam for you to ship them, but you won't be covered for loss through them.
