    Looks like a matched set to me. Cent has reverse cameo and if fully cameo would make the deal
  2. numisport
    Nice full red Cent Bill. Would you say 65RD ?

    My point was that if the Secret Service chose to review that coin for authenticity for resale it would be much easier to know that it was not a counterfeit if it was in an NGC/PCGS holder.

    Even though Oliver Douglas was a man with a great legal mind and a man of considerable financial means he could not have a telephone installed inside his house. Heck he couldn't even get his sliding closet doors fixed

    This thread is a long one so pardon any duplication but shouldn't the Secret Service confiscate this coin when it surfaces for resale just to confirm it IS the only one legal to own ? Then how much money and how long do you think it would take to prove it was THE coin before you could get it back ?

    Do you think it's strange that NGC does not show images of that coin ? Without asking NGC has imaged every coin I've submitted in the last 10 years or so regardless of how it was submitted even reholdered coins.

    Here's another good one; bought a nice proof Kennedy, traded it back to the same guy, then bought it back even cheaper and it's a keeper.... still have it !

    At least you've got your priorities straight

    Likely a cast replica but I'm not qualified to respond further. Roger will straighten this out.

    As far as Morgans go certain dates are notorious for striations which are vertical lines on the planchets from drawing strips. The reason you can see these lines is simply because the strike is week. Thes can often be seen on certain Morgan Dollars with week strikes one being 1902-S as well as some Carson City coins.

    This one is higher grade example struck on a more attractive planchet in what appears to be a relatively early die state as well. Which strike is it And here is another but with XF specimenry. Did I just coin a new word ? Die state on this one ?

    I've been getting used to using Coin Explorer lately and there you'll find the explanation of the silver center plug to adjust planchet weight. Was this adjustment procedure used prior to physical adjustment with a file or other mechanical means or just a more hygienic way to produce an attractive first silver dollar ?

    Like other high grade moderns Pf 70 Ikes initially traded for thousands but after more were graded prices dropped as might be expected. Note that there really are a small number of those Pf 70's that are flawless but most I've seen have visible flaws without magnification which is likely the reason prices dropped. Uncirculated Ikes however are rare in MS 67 grades especially the dates where no mint sets were made those years. The 1971 Philly comes to mind as virtually unknown in MS 67.

    I would call these coins bent

    I'm sure chop marked Trades would get details grade but after a quick look at both Regestries I could not find any images. Some Details graded coins are listed but no images of chop marked coins were evident.
  16. numisport
    Chop marks are certainly post mint damaged coins so I'm not interested.

    While other 1794's are known with a silver center, this one has something going on in the obverse center. What is that ?
  18. numisport
    3rd Rooster is a beautiful piece
  19. numisport
    Dansco has been hit or miss for years it seems
  20. numisport
    Oh yes my CAC stuff went to someplace in Jersey, then Long Island, then Pontiac Mi., then Detroit, then Indianapolis then finally home. this took 15 days or so Registered.

    Since moderns and bullion coins rule the day now, It's gonna matter [as a dealer] what your business is.
  22. numisport
    Although sample slabs are collectable that's not me. I would like to see an image Bill ..... phone image ?

    Why is coin silver .900 fine (like coin gold is .900 fine) and then Sterling silver is .925 fine ? This also effects conversions to troy ounces but I guess as long as these metals are not melted, they can be easily be identified since Sterling is usually masked as such. Is it because Coin silver requires more copper in the alloy ?

    So I suppose my Associate membership is going up as well ?

    You can ask for a review at NGC used to be no charge. If its overgraded they may replace it or settle for FMV. In those cases you won't get your coin back. I have done this years ago and it's possible that policy has changed but I doubt it. See their guarantee.
