Even more radical idea: take all the dead people off the coins and put Lady Liberty back on them. I don't think *ANY* of them deserve to be on...
If they are original bank wrapped rolls (meaning, all the coins are uncirculated and they have never been opened) then they will be worth a small...
Very attractive coin. I'm at 30, I think. Too much wear on the face, hair, and breasts to be any higher.
And what sort of input are they going to get? It'll be some variety of these complaints, which the mint has been hearing (and ignoring) for...
A full head?
Why do you say that? Can you explain a bit?
Thanks for your support, everyone. I appreciate it.
So all the pitted areas are where the horn silver was removed? That is unfortunate.... Newb alert.... fourree?
Yours could still be rub, of course. Without seeing it in hand, its really almost impossible to tell. The difference will be: if it is rub, the...
Oh, so it is silver deposited from other coins? I guess I was thinking it was the silver of the coin itself reacting (similar to the AgS process...
Guessed 63 pretty easily, but I was trying to decide PL or DPL. It is really hard to gauge these from pictures.
I think the strike holds it back from 67, but it is definitely a 66 all day long. If you paid a 65 price, then you did very, very well on this...
I am generally quite skeptical of colorfully toned rainbow nickels, especially when they have the vibrant colors that these do. I know that it...
I'm late to the party, but I was trying to decide if it was AU-58 or MS-63. I eventually decided I was on the side of 63, but the photos are not...
It also depends on the type of corrosion. There are oxidation reactions where mass is lost, and there are reduction reactions where mass is...
So some actually consider horn silver a positive? Huh. Interesting. New question: I realize that for many, third party graders and ancient coins...
I certainly did ;) It was just a while ago.... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/yall-told-me-to-just-buy-a-couple.269596/
Very useful, thanks! So, horn silver is basically a type of corrosion. Would you say that it is a strong negative, like verdigris, or just a...
Yes, I have bought a couple inexpensive ancients just to get my feet wet. I'm in "learn as much as I can" mode right now, since ancients are a bit...
Thanks, desertgem. How does the presence of horn silver affect the grade, eye appeal, and value of coins? Any other pictures people have will...
