Excellent answers!
I'm not sure what "other things" you are referring to. I just see normal wear and damage.

I stay away from CAC coins. They are already marked as having a maximum grade. I've never bought one but then again, I have never gone looking...
I have three 55 gallon drums full of bronze cents and am almost ready to start on the fourth. These have been culled out while looking through...

There are dates in the early 1870's that have weak Libertys even when they are uncs. It's like the Buffalos from the 1920's branch mi9nts. One...
