I think you are right. Unfortunately, the coin has been damaged.
Good information, thank you Rick . . . I didn't know that.
That's a money coin . . . I think you'll have to submit it more than once to get your grade, but I think it will eventually reside in a 65FS holder.
Here's a coin I found irresistible . . . We've all seen plenty of no stars dimes and half dimes . . . but no stars half dollars? Okay, so it's...
Wow!

If the seller doesn't cancel the transaction, yes. My guess is that's how eBay eventually puts a lid on shill bidding . . . being deprived of...
65 . . . love the toning, but the strike is a bit soft, although normal for the date. If stronger I'd have guessed 66.
I think it's a gorgeously toned AU58 that found its way into a 64 holder . . .
First off, understand that you are not necessarily missing out on coins due to shill bidding. You may not be bidding enough, possibly even for a...
