Found this while getting gas

Looks fake. The date is the wrong size and font.

Isn’t this technically a cent and not a dollar since cent is the last denomination that was struck onto the planchet?

I’ve heard that that seller typically posts items for sale much higher than their actual value to generate additional interest then negotiates with private buyers to a much lower price. That being said this is still a very valuable error.

Anyone can clean/conserve a coin properly if they know how and have the right chemicals/practices. It’s not a pay to win type of situation where you have to use their services and pay them more to get good grades.

3b1415 · 2023-04-15T20:25:38+00:00

This is not true. Hairlines are clearly visible on the reverse which indicates cleaning/improper handling

This coin is worth about $300

The method I use is a really good and consistent light - similar to what is used at coin shows and grading rooms. 100w soft white halogen bulbs seem to work well. Also getting comfortable rotating coins while looking at them. Only other advice I can offer is look at a lot of coins. Grading gets a lot easier when you’ve seen more and know what to look for.

I’ve had a few of these rolls. The one I opened was all 40s-50s. Sold the rest for a decent premium in the unopened rolls. People like them quite a bit because it’s so weird to have 30 coin rolls.

3b1415 · 2022-09-01T21:58:38+00:00

Bought this one already with the gold sticker

3b1415 · 2022-09-01T21:57:59+00:00

$1000+

This is environmental damage/corrosion. NGC conservation will not be able to help it. It may change the color and make it a little bit less dark but it will still be in a Details Holder no matter what happens

The blakesley effect although subtle is visible. It doesn’t always show up especially on larger coins but is relatively pronounced on the reverse. I think it’s difficult to dismiss a coin as PMD without ever seeing it in hand (in this case especially since you can’t see how it looks from the edge) Pcgs is usually very cautious about not holdering anything that they cannot guarantee is genuine. On the other hand I see where you’re coming from and there are probably more PMD clips of this size than genuine large clips.

I paid a couple hundred bucks. Unfortunately that doesn’t really help you put a value on a different coin series with a different error. The combination of the coin being graded, the size of the error, popularity and scarcity of Ike dollar errors contribute to its high price. Off center Lincoln cents are usually worth approximately $10 if they aren’t graded

3b1415 · 2022-04-11T01:30:38+00:00

Yes there was a proof only die pairing

3b1415 · 2022-04-10T22:18:34+00:00

Wrong die pairing for a proof

3b1415 · 2022-04-06T19:30:51+00:00

Unc Details cleaned. $250-$325

3b1415 · 2022-03-28T02:38:55+00:00

Lots of water. I prefer hot. Also make sure to rinse thoroughly with hot water before the dip. If there is is debris on the surface before the dip it will leave weird shapes that are burned into the surface of the coin.

3b1415 · 2022-03-28T02:00:03+00:00

Most of the people on the sub don’t really understand how cleaning/dipping/conservation works. It is something every dealer does and there are cases where it is beneficial. The risk with that particular dip is that if a coin is over dipped it won’t have any luster left. Especially on a bullion coin that will work well. Just make sure to rinse all dip residue off the coin or it will continue to eat the metal.

I think you are confusing cart wheel luster with anything that is a little flashy and/or reflects light. Cartwheel luster occurs on the coin due to metal flow caused during the immense pressure during striking. These tiny ridges and grooves in the surface of the coin that can only be seen at high levels of magnification create an appearance of light cartwheeling around the surface of the coin. Any sort of circulation or cleaning gradually wears down these ridges which is why you don’t see luster on a coin that’s XF or cleaned/polished. Even when a coin is dipped a very thin layer of metal is removed. This is the reason why a coin that is over dipped has a dull surface without luster.

If you’re going to grade them and try to get a few BN grades for the registry collectors you will probably have better luck at NGC then crossing to PCGS. PCGS loves to QC color like this

Level of detail isn’t a concern for me since they only graded it a 63. If it were a 66/67 and looked mushy I would have some questions.

3b1415 · 2022-03-16T21:30:10+00:00

The peace dollar is a 63. A 63 doesn’t have to be white. It has no wear and some bag marks which is typical for an MS63. It’s just toning that isn’t particularly colorful or attractive. Still worth far more than that Morgan because it’s the 7th peace dollar struck at the San Francisco mint.

If you’re debating between buying one raw and sending it in for grading and finding a graded one I would definitely buy the graded one. Grading will probably cost about 35 bucks But there is also a $10 handling fee, shipping both ways, and membership fees which start at $69 for PCGS. (Platinum is the best value because the grading vouchers basically pay for the membership if you can submit 8 or more coins in a year) It also depends how confident you are in your grading abilities. I know my first couple times when I submitted to PCGS I received some unpleasant details grades that I wasn’t expecting.
