Understand. I've sent in a few to be graded. 2 came back cleaned. Not harsh, but cleaned. The others straight graded. No real surprises.

Thanks for the explanation. It looked like a woodie to me, but I'm not expert on Lincoln Cents and the color looked off.
Hope these don't spot as badly as Canadian Silver coins. I have a Dansco for Canadian Maple Leafs. When I was putting my 2019 in it's slot, I...
Because I think when you're first starting in this hobby, it's kind of a "right of passage". A step up the ladder in the hobby if you will.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Until your experienced, I wouldn't buy any ungraded coins on eBay. Like the others said, a polished coin...
@Morpheus, sounds like you have some very nice Kennedy's, but nothing exceptionally rare. If you'd like to get market values for Kennedy's, go to...

Hard to give you great advice without more information. Did you view all the coins? Do you wish you could keep any of them? Where did most of...
Another beautiful CBH Larry!
@micbraun , I like both of those coins. Great eye appeal. I haven't seen a lot of beautifully toned Peace Dollars, but I certainly like yours....
I'd say possible 66. From the first photos, I'd say 66 for sure with possible PL. From the second set, I'd say 65, but the reverse won't PL....
Agree that it's machine doubling, not doubled die. Die cracks can be quite interesting on Morgan's and Peace Dollars. I don't get into VAM's,...
@Pickin and Grinin , interesting cent. White balance seems to be off on the pic or is that representative of the actual coin? I don't collect...
