Was separate legislation passed to add it permit it on all coinage in 1866? If so, interesting that as it was allowed on the cent in 1864, the...
There are countless moderns graded MS70 and PR70. Whether these are any more perfect than the PR69 you show leads us to the "70 paradox." A coin...
I don't see how this could be mint-made. First coin struck gets stuck, leaving only an obverse of the coin and obverse die to strike the next....
So they copied and pasted the Barber prices to the SLQ. :facepalm:
Yup. The coins would all become worthless (relatively speaking) unless they could land in an MS100 holder, and then they'd lose their promotional...
35. The top two rows of feathers in the eagle's left wing (viewer's right) need to be fully separated for 40, and while very close, they're not...

It's priced at full retail, and it's nothing more than an AU55. Don't be seduced by the "old holder" hype. It is almost always meaningless.
Has that cleaned look to me. BU details, but a dip and a wipe too many.
High quality colonials on nice planchets, problem free pillar 8 reales, better date Morgans in appropriate grades that have outstanding...
Pretty sure whatever was used to fill that hole is not RoHS compliant.
Looks like there's a little too much sheen on the forehead and cheek on coin in the picture in the NGC holder. The "before" pics look fine, though.
I use Hugh Wood policy through the ANA that covers shipping, as well as coins in my possession and while in transit to shipping. Haven't had a...
It is a "common" coin insofar as there are regularly coins for sale, so there's no need to pull the trigger right away. Take your time, look at a...
I always use two lights because of the evenness of lighting you get. Especially for the reverse of your coin, be careful to position the lights...
Not sure why that's not working. Pointing the camera straight down wreaks havoc on the auto-rotation (it's a "divide by zero" position), but if...
Harsh and/or abrasive cleaning is a bad thing.
Cleaned in general doesn't mean "not filthy." Removing surface dirt and grime in such a manner as the surface metal oxides are not disturbed...
[ATTACH] My first 2015 coin in change. Received yesterday. Apologies for the crappy picture. The usual setup is not available.
At least he started with a cleaned AU and not a decent coin.
