I love clear ammonia for cleaning nickel or copper nickel and use it routinely...But soap and warm water with tamp dry to start with will be very...
I do not seem to be able to capture the coin well & was shocked by how pristine it was and how mark and hairline free it is, not to mention...
Paid about 62FB price. Hopefully better: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, I agree on the lighting as I took that picture on my desk at work. I do not know why this happens and its either me or the old iPhone, or...
Ok, first let me say these sorry photos a bit pixilated but will try for better later on. I was pleased to recently purchase this from Europe...
Ah, thanks....I also have that one somewhere. I like it but somehow seems to lack passion - well in the eyes of the beholder I suppose...
Yes, this is a corroded coin almost assuredly. I have an halfcrown of 1963 struck in copper and will picture it shortly....LOL.....BTW, the NGC...
I recently got this off eBay - just beautiful! This was ripped off by the US Mint and a lesser version put on the 2016 platinum 100 Dollars coin....
Well you all had great guesses as it graded AU55. I too was worried about a details grade but in hand looked better than most - I hoped for a 58...

I really like this design, simple yet striking. This date (1969) seems quite a bit scarcer as well, nicely preserved to boot: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Looks to me like a straight grade and would go 53. Some areas of friction & as an example check the LIBERTY letters... That grime drives me crazy...
Ah, thanks Greg. I have ever so slowly been building a collection of OMS British coins of the 1920-1970 period (not that many but a few)....I may...
Well that gave it away but I was blown away by the sake of this Panama 1904 10 Centesimos coin yesterday. true, the nicest I’ve seen, BUT wow what...
Followup: I did eventually about 6 months after the above post get a year 2000 SEVEN piece Bahamas set - there are FIVE coin sets available but...
AU details, cleaning - this from PCGS. I have seen a lot of these crowns and agree with the AU, but I have seen much worse to straight grade....
Agree with Paddy, and I seem to recall some articles written abut the prevalence of many specimens, seemingly higher grade coming to market a...
Well it graded 64. I really am not feeling that and even in hand it looks the 66/7 grade.
I would agree with the 66, maybe 67....Will post in a couple of hours
