Re: pcgs graded gold coin

They are actually SELLING for between $800 and $890US on Ebay right now. These are what they actually SOLD for, not asked. Here is one currently for a best offer MS63 coin. The seller previously sold at least one other for something LESS than his asking price .. he accepted a "best offer". m

Re: 180 axis 1965 Canadian nickle

First find out if you have large or small beads. There is no listing for 180 degree die rotation on the sheet here:

Re: PCGS and PL coins

Re: Need help with a 1891 Large cent

Try to soak it for a bit in acetone and then rinse with distilled water to get rid of some of the green. It's a VF-20, so nice pick-up if you can get rid of some of the vertigris ... and if you got it at a reasonable price. BTW, any "small leaves' (NOT TOUCHING OR NEAR THE DENTICLES) is a small...
