I wanna say MS65, but I’m concerned about that big white spot at the back of the neck at the hairline. If that spot is on the holder, I say MS65,...
While I agree that it probably isn’t worth much, if the OPs coin is a gem grade full step Jefferson from the 70’s or 80’s it will have significant...
It feels smooth because the packaging is thick enough to make it feel smooth. That isn't any type of mint packaging I'm aware of and if it...
Why can't you take it out of the packaging and photograph the obverse? The photo is really small, but based on the quality of the reverse strike...
When did you buy that? Roosevelt Dimes have fallen off a cliff in recent years. If you bought this within the last year, I say $120.
Well, I know of Mark Feld who worked at NGC and he never made the claim that the TPGs loosen their grading standards. As for Skip, if he has...
Those numbers from PCGS are wrong. Are we supposed to believe that the number of gold coins graded MS69 jumped from 21 to 106,921 in the span of...

I look for all uncirculated coins, with nice looking prewar coins, at less than $4 per coin.
This basically mirrors my long standing view on the issue. I feel compelled to warn you that this is a very unpopular opinion, and that pretty...
Most of the sets I’ve purchased recently sell for that same $300. If you bought an AU/BU set for one coin, that’s fine. I would just subtract...
That’s a tough question. My experience in feedback about #2 is that the spotting on the forehead is distracting to the point that it would keep...
That's not fair. I've seen some nice toned 57-D Lincolns in my time, but that coin simply takes the cake. Best in show, competition is over, Bob...
Steps really don't get much better than that, but the mint has kinda perfected the process at this point. Virtually every nickel they churn out...
That is beautiful, nice photograph! Do you know how many different designs they did in that set?
I found this last week on E-Bay, and the price was right. It is pretty good quality and very attractive in hand, about the size of a Silver...
