I agree now after looking. An angle can tell it all, though, especially when it comes to details. It could be the difference of a grade on a Bust...
Often, I will collect a couple of the new coins I find in circulation, but these past couple of years, the wait time between the new year and...
That's exactly what I was thinking. ;)
That's quite cool! Quite corroded but looks like a solid G-6 detail coin.
And they did it again in 1990 with the penny. I guess they don't mind to make both fools and masters of themselves and their craft at the same...
That's quite awesome. I mean, I thought for sure that San Francisco was really stepping up the game by taking pride in how their proof sets are...
That makes me wonder why craftsmanship at the Mint has slowly declined. I mean, if the highest certified is a 67, with some Morgans being known up...
That's an amazing picture! Now I'll better understand FS Jeffersons. Hopefully others can see this thread and learn from it as well. I've got...
I wouldn't consider it like gambling, but it does involve some risk. Sometimes I've gotten some coins and haven't resold them, but there's always...
They likely buy out estate lots, bank bags, and hand-wrapped rolls for a certain price over melt. If it is marked as BU, it's likely at least an...
Recently I saw some ungraded Jefferson nickels with full steps (one being a 1950-D) and I was wondering exactly which steps they take into...
Sometimes I've put pennies in my local bank's coin counter, and it'll reject perfectly red coins, and sometimes it'll accept ones that are bent,...
I agree. After looking at it some more, it appears to be a type 1 because of an item between the hind legs that's not in a type 2.
Recently I got this 1913-D Buffalo nickel, and I've been trying to identify the type. It's quite worn, though, which makes it quite hard. I'm...
I'm honestly not quite sure. The final bid on the coin was $70, which is something I wouldn't pay for it, but then again, there's still a lot of...
I honestly think that a lot of the grading companies know very few of the VAMs. Some world-class graders at the top companies likely need to be...
I see what you mean. It is slightly possible, though, that any classic circam coin with no mint mark is an impaired proof, as Philadelphia made...
Ain't very frustrating the truth! Imagine a millimeter making two different die crack varieties, and the difference being hundreds.
I gotta admit, that's quite the contrast. Just imagine if that actually was a proof! Stranger things have happened. I remember a YouTube video...
CAC does have expert graders on their team, so it's quits good that they could recognize it. It would likely grade as cleaned from companies like...
Separate names with a comma.
