I find coins like that metal detecting all the time. When the copper coin is buried in the soil for a period of time, the copper oxidizes to that...
What I see are normal bag marks and a circulation strike. Try hunting for perfect coins and you will find almost none, especially from pocket...
my mistake, the fold in the drapery on liberties right leg looked like a curved dent from a coin hitting it and not part of the design. (you can...
I am thinking the SLQ is probably a 53 with the large gash on liberties leg. That looks like it hurts!
I would agree with the assigned grade. If you look closely at the obverse you can see discoloring on the cheek and leading edge of the hair. On...
If it is questionable, you could ask for it to be graded by PCGS/NGC and offer to pay his price + the grading fee if real. the pictures are too...
MS65. The pictures are a bit blurry so it is a bit hard to determine if the marks I see are on the coin or the holder. Slight disturbance to the...
No, not even close.

#1=63- subdued luster #2=65- The strike looks very strong to me #3=64- good luster, but weaker on the strike
I am going to guess it is a MS65 Brown. The slight splotchiness' of the toning on the obverse and a touch of weakness above the ear holds it back...
Nope, not broadstruck. The edge proves it.
As per the grade, it looks more like a Fine or VF at best to me. Most of the detail is gone from the portrait obverse and from Monticello on the...
As Beautiful as the coin is, I think it will grade at MS63-64 due to the baggy marks on the lower obverse and the two small rim dings/marks.
The strike appears to be good, but that is all that it has going for it. I see a lot of cleaning scratches in the fields and there is no way that...
It's already at 10 times face before auction fees! Why would anyone bid on this???
From the pictures, it appears that there is a weak strike in the area of the drum. That plus some normal circulation damage probably explains what...
due to the lighting, I am not seeing the blakesley effect(weakness opposite of the clip due to metal flow) A better picture of the front and back...
