I agree with the others -- EZest is great for restoring most of the appearance of damaged coins, but these are probably t oo far gone.
I have some coins awaiting ANACS grading. I've been watching adjacent serial numbers to try to get a feel for when they'll get to MY coins. And...
seems back up now.
anyone else not getting in? Looks like an error at their end. error code 520, unknown server error.
You wuz robbed :) Unless you bought it already slabbed, in which case you did great!:) Seriously though, I've been getting Franklins graded (at...
That's a gorgeous coin! It's at least a MS66FBL, maybe a MS67 (but I've never seen one close up).

I was looking at a partial roll of 64-d Kennedy halves I saved as a kid...they were in a taped coin tube so I've only recently begun to look at...

Mimi, I was out most of the day when the bad news started rolling in... sorry if this was an expensive learning experience... But if you need a...
But show them to us anyway. Its possible that they are nice coins, only with exaggerated grades. I've got a couple of those myself - Washington...
