These coins are similar to many date and mint mark combinations of Morgan silver dollars. Once they fall below Mint State, the values plummet....
I would say genuine and Fine-12. If it has been cleaned, it doesn’t matter. It’s a good “album collection” type coin.
Hi Chris, Sure, you can use the photos. I have another one in a dealer’s prepackaged set that might be nicer. I will have look at it. Don’t hold...
The grading services are into grade-flation to stimulate the flagging market for their product. In the more honest, older days, a coin that graded...
Well you when get a chance to buy one of those specimen Churchill crowns, let me know, “grasshopper.” When I was in London, the dealers made it...
Sorry, they are not “fun coins;” they are garbage. It’s just the Chinese, muling obverse and reverse dies that don’t belong with each other...
That would be a Churchill Crown. They are quite common and retail for about $3. They have been de-monetized and have no face value.
Looks like something from the Seated Dollar sets the Chinese marketed a decade or so ago. The “CC” mint mark is a sure fire sight that this one is...
Genuine but cleaned. Here is a tip. If you want coins to be authenticated, shoot the photo straight on, not at an angle. Angle shots are one of...
I have been a collector for 60 years. I have literally bought and millions of dollars worth of coins. I live quite well without “monster toners”...

I agree. As a circulating coin, the half dollar is dead, and the Kennedy coin killed it. When I was kid, I used to get half dollars in...
VF-30
Probably in a VF-20 holder. The reverse is better, but the obverse holds it back. It think that obverse barely makes VF.
That is incredibly generous. ;)
Given what was done to it for color, I would say that the artificial tarnish will continue to form, and take this coin down a rat hole.
Yes, I’ve moved them all from both of the sets I have owned. If your set is encased in plastic, I don’t know what you have. These sets were not...
I pulled the coin out of the spot in the set, and photographed it. I store the $20 gold in another holder now. With all the talk about hairlines...
If you enjoy them as a collector, then it's okay. If you are looking to make money or even have a place to stash money, a piggy bank would be...
The 1909-P Plain is scarcer in pristine Mint State because fewer of them were saved. The 1909-VDB was the first of its kind which always invites a...
