Here are a couple random pics. I have many other pics however to show the detail necessary increases the file size and therefore cannot be downloaded. RD

Hello. I (Richard/Rich) have been a collector of primarily Canadian coins/tokens and banknotes (Chartered Bank, DoC, BoC) since the mid 1970s. Over the next couple years I will be selling a vast majority of my collection. As an example of what is available, the collection comprises a large quantity ...

F15. Too many issues to go VF. Not a pretty coin.

1917 VF+
1918 VF
1919 F

Unfortunately all harshly cleaned and therefore not much numismatic value.

Given is was found in ground that would explain strange coloring and characteristics of a cleaning (albeit natural). Luckily no evidence of corrosion/pitting. Too bad it wasn't a T5 - a rarer variety by a factor of at least 4:1 compared to the T4.

I suppose enough time has gone so I will now tell you all. AU55

As most of you correctly assessed. Should have been no higher than EF40.

All I can say once again is; Fraudulent TPG is a real threat to the hobby. Buyer beware.

This coin was graded by NGC. Anyone care to guess what grade was assigned?

OBV T6. EF 'cleaned/dipped'

Concur. VG8

I've been absent for a while. The subject coin was graded by NGC. All I can say is that this is probably a case of an improper grade being assessed to a coin by virtue of its relative rarity. Although as we all know NGC is just plain fraudulent anyway. The pressure to overgrade a rare coin by TPGs i...

Images of flawed 1896 10 Cents

I've see this type of flaw on Victorian dimes now and then - mostly on the reverse side, as in the case pictured below. Seems as though it is a planchet flaw as the strike passes thru the rings. If anyone has some thoughts on what exactly causes this, I'd appreciate your insight. Please see images.

m Remark: I chose this coin since it is a key date and as such is ripe for abuse. This coin is not VF. It is a Fine. Even with ZIRP/negative interest rates and the resulting obscene asset price appreciation (except coins) over the last few years, the seller will be waiting quite some time to attain ...

Some slight wear on high points and a couple rim dings. Coin has seen some very brief circulation but overall appears to be a very nice example. Agree with Bill, it is definite AU (Would have to have it in hand or have better pics to determine if it is deserving of 55). Cheers, RD
