Hello! Received this grade and nearly collapsed because a Jubilee head in this grade can command over £10,000. I strongly believe this is a technical error on NGC's part but can we confirm this just to make sure? A jubilee head sits ontop of her head whereas I believe this is a veiled head. It's gone down in the system as top pop so it's been labelled wrong I think. https://www.ngccoin.uk/certlookup/6944352-001/62/

1828 Half Dollar Capped Bust For Grading
Tobias J Reily replied to Tobias J Reily's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Hi Coinbuf, I have submitted it. I collect slabbed coins for many reasons. In hand I think it looks a little nicer than the photos suggest, which usually happens with me. I'm hopeful for AU55 or even AU58. I bought the coin because it looked like a lovely example of a half dollar and I liked its colour. Its scheduled for grading currently. I'll update when its done. From experience, I don't think NGC will designate this details but you never know. Hopefully not. -

1913 China Manchurian 20 Cents
Tobias J Reily replied to Tobias J Reily's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Interesting! Seems there were two types for the year. I've checked Heritage sales also that show the dot and the denticle types. Not sure why the two varieties existed, maybe a mistake in the die or they decided to change it half way through or something. Hopefully someone can enlighten. Coin weighs 5.2g exactly so its bang on for the weight and makes sense as I see no wear. -
I'm thinking high high high grade on this one, what do you all think? Very reflective under surface toning. Nice colour to reverse. Going to send it in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQcrYZGKg9A Youtube video ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How do you think this Dime grades? I've done a video to show the lustre and a bit more of the detail.

Hi, I bought it at auction. Just received it. Here are some better photos. Thanks for all the replies, even the bickering I guess. -

1887 Half Crown Grade?
Tobias J Reily replied to Tobias J Reily's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Thanks for all the replies. I was quite pleased with it when it arrived but after studying it for a bit it does seem to have altered surface on the obverse, whether by some sort of dip or other method. Tilting it about in the light it does appear to have different patches of colour, especially around the legends and around 1pm there is some sort of rub mark. I'm not going to waste a grading fee if it probably will details. Unfortunate cos I like the coin. Also about strike, absolutely. A year or two ago I posted a 25 kopeks that everyone thought was AU, but I knew that because the fields were so reflective that it must have been a weak strike that was making the devices look worn. Sometimes coins really really look worn but it is either a weak strike or that aforementioned weak or late die state. -
Just wondering how you see this. Lustre is very bright on the obverse, a big cartwheel effect. The reverse looks very nice but a bit less lustre, perhaps due to the lack of fields. Seems high grade, just wondering what your collective thoughts are?

RWB, did you look at the video? It absolutely looks proof like. -

Tobias J Reily replied to Tobias J Reily's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
NGC graded this one MS64. I thought it would get PL but I'm just glad it straight graded. I also made a big purchase on this MS67. Currently no.1 on the registry set now so pretty pleased with that, and trying to find more.
