On a coin of this grade, I think the clash sets it apart from the rest (and is pretty cool). It doesn't really change the value. On higher grade...
It appears to be an attractive, lightly circulated coin. I would grade it AU-58. These are relatively common, because many people saved them as...
Now is the perfect time to get some back to school reading for the YN in your life. Or maybe, now that the kiddo's are going back to school, you...
I don't see evidence of polishing. I also don't see any evidence of wear, especially on the obverse (which is better lit). The color, while...
Yes, he did. The URS scale has too many levels of detail present. There are way too many useless levels. I can't remember what they all mean -...
First, the nickel in the OP is not silver. Second, while I agree that the ANACS slabs are known for toning coins, the appearance is not usually...
That area under the chin is known as "strike doubling" or "machine doubling." It is incredibly common, and is not true doubling. Notice the...
That is definitely the low leaves reverse. However, even if it were the high leaves, why do you think it would be valuable? Is there something...
Hey, I'm just going with what I see in the picture. In hand, it may be completely different. I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again. It...
AU details, cleaned. There appears to be some haziness or residue on the unusually shiny center of the reverse. It appears unnatural in these...
I feel like both major TPGs are inconsistent on the SMS coins. Over the decades, what they call them and how they designate them has varied - and...
I used to collect Franklin halves. I only bought NGC Franklins because of their stricter criteria (unless I could closely examine the PCGS coin in...
That is a really pretty dollar. Congrats on completing your set!
The coin would need to grade at least 66 to be worth the cost of submitting. These are very common coins. Based on your pictures, I do not think...
If you are unfamiliar with using acetone, it is relatively simple. If you have coins in PVC, I *strongly* recommend giving them a bath before...
Is it possible for you (or someone you trust) to take pictures of these coins? Even a quick (well lit, in focus) Iphone pic will help us a lot. If...
It is a proof. These are super common, so not worth very much - but the history of where you got it is cool.
I think it is a function of the blurry photography and the lighting, not an RPM.
Doesn't look whizzed, but definitely cleaned in some unnatural way.
A common myth.
