i have to think that they may have graded them 1st in a group and then slabbed them incorrectly. that 1928 was definitely damaged. no offense. still great coins one and all
Haha, thanks. I have fun doing them. I do these mostly for myself. One day I'll look back at them and remember what I was doing when I was younger. LOL It's just an added bonus to me if other people enjoy them as well. Thanks for the comment.
While busting coins out of slabs and resubmitting is a known pastime, It is known that both NGC and PCGS have purchased some of their mistakes. I submit that if these firms were of little value, collectors would not demand their services. Dr. you, provide a good education and more importantly to me, an entertaining view. Thank you
A fun and very enlightening video, my friend! I enjoy seeing your reaction as you view and reveal the grade. Grades were seemingly a bit all over the place. Interns at PCGS getting a crack at assigning grades?🤔😂 Thanks for this. The 32S is still nice in the holder
Yeah, that was my first video and I didn't have a clue. LOL. But it sure was fun. Learning new things seems to be my greatest pleasure now a days. This hobby is so "deep" It looks like I'll be enjoying it for a long time. :) I realize now that I could have done a video on each one of those coins. Hahah. Thanks for the comment my friend.
The 1932 quarter is some of the most weird valuated coins of them all. The MS66 is $800 but the MS67 is worth a whole $10,000 to $15,000. An almost twenty-folded value increase from 66 to 67. Unheard of, as far as I'm concerned
And this is the pinnacle, the upper echelon of grading companies... lol how sad. So much HYPE. Thats what I see with PCGS and the coin community and Heritage Auctions mostly is to blaim for it..
1928 ms63 it looks like its been struck through grease struck on top right its a expensive mint error and you might have specify and pay more to get it graded that way
Your 1928 2.5 dollar ms63 you got a lucky grade for that one that's great, I've had went to a coin dealer in 2000 or 2001 I bought a 1911-p Indian gold coin and cherry picked 1952-s Wheatie they sat for 20yrs I had them in a sleeve so going through my coins I found them I forgot all about them so I sent them out I was highly surprised when I got them back the 1952's wheat penny came back ms66 and my 1911 p' two-and-a-half-dollar Indian gold coin came back ms63 I was really surprised I got that grade for that, and now gold is up the year is 2020 right now, so to make a long story short I'm a happy camper. Nice video, remember you win some you lose some, but I guess in the end it all works out.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great video. Love the unveilings. I am new to collecting and never knew of gold Indian quarters. They are amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Your 1928 MS63 with metal missing at the top looks to me like a strike through error. Maybe a resubmit would be wise for that designation. Due to the current interest in errors it might prove very lucrative for you to get some other opinions. Nice haul 😊
Start Your Own, Alaska State Dr. G $20 Flying Eagle 🦅 One Thing Your Videos Are Always Fun! Thank You. Very Valuable Information. “It’s Expensive, Being Cheap. As Another.. Injun Bites The Dust.” Holes?? MS62 Those Crazy pcgs Fools I Agree With You, It’s Always A Gamble.
Oops, sorry you didn't get a chance to look at the problem coins before you bought them. I prefer PCGS and NGC certs before I purchase them. Either way, nice coins and video
c17360 yeah you have to understand there is a lot of leeway with these grades. I don’t take them too seriously anymore. They’re a great “starting point”. Do your own research and “discover “ what YOU like, not what the graders like. They don’t have to be the same thing. 😊
Attn: Dr G Love watching your videos over and over we are close to same age and have the same thing in common we are in to Coins and study of. Also getting them graded;}> to keep out the fakes and cleaning:}> out of our collections and hoping to get the highest grades of the Coins, just want to say respect and you would make an excellent speaker you speak very well great job. :-)
MS62? that was the worst shape coin as of minute 16:06 i'm both stunned and extremely happy for you and or the owner of these. great review come to think of it, i believe PCGS may have used this same silver quarter in a video recently showing an example of environmental damage on a coin.
Ouch. I saw the color was too consistent color being an alloy metallic coin. 1902 is a really good fake knowing there's a little discoloration because of the copper content. Geez at least they weren't pre 34 gold eagles. Must be easier to dump fractional which will make me even more diligent on small gold coins
Yeah, you definitely need to check out the gold. I had no clue on the 1902, which led me to certify the other gold coins I had. So many counterfeits now.
Sometimes a scratch gives the coin a good story. If the coin is from the late 1800s and then in the 1920s there were a lot of fake coins people might have scratched it to see if it's real, that would give the coin more nostalgic rarity. Very few intelligent collectors look for Marks & Scratches.
Nice show and tell Dr. G. I have never graded gold before. Just can't afford such. But I must say your video system setup shows details pretty well. I managed to grade the majority accurately. Yes, the dings you see are most likely from bagging. But long scratches tend to be caused by handling. Also look at the edges of the coins, which can tell a lot about the condition. I noticed your extreme disappointment at the scratched coins. I am wondering why you purchased them, unless you got them through the internet. Many people will position a coin so that the lighting will wash out some imperfections. Best thing to do if you are at all in doubt is to ask the seller to send you an enhanced photo. If they refuse, then something is amiss. Good luck with your collecting.
Dies were of mid grade ms grades were fiting fof the time .clean coins with high grade diamond compounds in super high number compounds and you can pull it off.
Damn, the counterfeiters are getting better and better with the fake coins! Does the 1862 weigh what it’s supposed to? Thanks for sharing your submission results, it is so informative, and your presentation is well done!
Thanks a lot my friend. The gold coins are within the correct weight. I guess the counterfeiters thought the numismatic value was worth the effort, although I can't really see the point. I appreciate the comment.
Pretty typical grades and I nailed most of them. Considering the cost of of grading and the upper and lower end of the the values. I would not have submitted any of those coins to PCGS (Pretty cloudy Grading Service) for grading. Actually, they are spot on with most of their grades. The MS63 graded coin was a higher grade surprise. Thanks for the video Dude..
You're welcome. The grading services are extremely helpful to me. I pay them both for the authentication service, as well as a professional opinion of the condition. I'm an amateur and still learning. One of the first things I learned was not to trust the opinion of coin shop dealers. Horrible conflict of interest. The $15-20 bucks a coin for grading is well worth it to me. Thanks for the comment.
You can use acetone and hydrochloric acid on silver and gold coins. Just don't rub them at all ever. If you coins are pure silver or gold you can heat some dirt off them. Do not do it if they are alloy though or it will mess them up. Lastly if you use acetone and or hydrochloric acid you may have uneven toning because the removal of the dirt will leave a less toned spot. To remedy this you can place coin, silver, in a container with aluminum and pour hot water mixed with baking soda and the sulfur that makes tarnish will be drawn out of the coin and into the aluminum. It is a chemical reaction that does not effect the silver. Everything mentioned, except the heating, is safe on silver coins containing copper.
I have practiced these methods on low valued coins and if you are going to try I suggest you do the same. I researched what acids have no effect on gold, silver, and copper. This is science and can be researched by anyone. The heating method was discovered when I was trying to get "milk" spots off of ASE bullion coin and it worked amazingly well. I placed ASE on burner and turned it on high. Poof, the spots turned into little puffs of smoke. I tried it on a silver coin alloyed with copper and it screwed it up. I assume because copper and silver expand at different rates so when heated it effected the coin.
Aw you got me lol unfair. I thought it was the 1862 just cause of the age...I was technically right. Bag marks 62 twice! You got some good grades throughout, nice. Thanks for the vid!
I bet you one day of that 1932 quarter’s A mechanic had it and possibly spilled a little bit of battery acid on to it and that battery acid had a chance to eat away part of the wing
People knowingly purchased these fakes because at the time, Americans were prohibited to own gold except for certain collectible coins (the ban on private gold ownership lasted from 1933 until 1974). Those people who wanted to own gold had limited options and were less concerned about authenticity than they were about gold content. Often these days the kids inherit the coins and think they have the real deal until they send them in for grading. Hope yours are gold!
I think the MS63 wasn't properly graded, the upper right part got a scratch that look like part of it has been removed.... I would ask them for a redoing....
In addition, a 'Forgery' would be almost ALWAYS be struck from the correct metal. A forger is trying to turn a $300 piece of gold into a high end collectible piece with high numismatic value. A counterfeiter is trying to just pass a piece off. A Forger intends to fool the best eyes for a large profit.
Thanks for the vid. Proved I don't know shit abt grades. Some of the 58's looked better to me than the MS 62/63's, especially the one missing part of "LIBERTY". Overall nice lot. Again, THANKS.
Love your stuff and unboxing from the grading services. That Indian Coin 2-1/2 looked like a big chunk was out, WOW I with you on that one I never expected it was a mint error or defect, you might want to re submit?
Yeah, pretty strange. They gave it a 63 though, if I resubmit they might find something wrong and downgrade. But if someone were to ever purchase that coin, I imagine the defect would be a concern. Thanks for watching, and commenting Dave.
The interesting thing is that there are two separate graders for each coin. Followed by one more to triple check before it's released. I don't know enough about these coins to really say too much. Thanks for the comment.
You strike MS63 from PCGS on 1928 Indian head AU. Your queries on the Liberty anomaly appears to look like a STRUCK THROUGH GREASE which is a minting error. Congratulations nevertheless!!
Good lord ,I love the incuses...cannot WAIT till i can afford one. Probably going to just get some silver rounds with that incuse design to help to stave off the need for abit.
@@Dr.G yeah, in slacking on mt bullion anyway. Lol. Just likewith the palladium eagles. I will get there...and alot sooner for a piece that isnt in wonderfull condition. Im not doing to baddly for being so new and my financial situation...just got my first morgan , pcgs ms 64 1893-0 half with rainbow toned obverse and bright with reverse. Not a rarety, but its super nice for me. Just saw a pcgs ms66+ 1883 O with a toned reverse and abit of toning on the rim of the obverse for $3000 off of a suggested link for coins they say i need in my registery.
@@Dr.G its...eclectic...and small. Lol. I have it listed for the world anyway between pcgs and ncg registry sets so i dont mind giving the basic rundown . Pcgs ms64 1883-o morgan with the toning.a pcgs ms69 2000 1/4 platinum eagle, a pcgs sp69 2013-W burnished eagle with undocumented as of now rim error...both anacs and ngc ms 70 2017 saes the ngc has a straw yellow toning just starting to form... ,a pf 70 ultra cameo 2017-W sae with fdoi & early releases marked label..which is odd to me . Ngc bu 2007 p and d andrew jackson fdoi set and a bu 2008 d john adams fdoi. Ngc bu 09 presidency cent, which i need to mark in the notations as the reason plain bu coins can now be registered (bu fdoi and other specialty labels were ok already) A bu 2010 fdoi First year ceramony shield cent. A few half dollars , dimes and quarters all ngc or pcgs ms/pf 69 or 70 except a 57d fbl franklin half. At ms 64 . a type 2 penny blank in anacs holder, and some attributed but ungraded stuff. 1940 s over s mercury dime, 1939 1-0-V-cw error quarter...i dont remeber what the code means. Lol. And a 1964 b reverse. The rest is just raw waiting for attribution and /grading. If deamed worthy.
Those are all beautiful coins scratched or not I know this is an older video but I just picked up a 1908 quarter eagle NGC MS-64 and a 1932 $10 Indian PCGS also MS-64 you should know never clean a coin have it professionally done if anything
Great stuff again Doctor ! I paused video at 3:25 to write this. I’m gonna guess the 1862-S is fake where it’s far more scarce/rare firstly Secondly if you could try to show us the cartwheel luster that would really help (me anyway). The design features on the 1862-S look flatter or not as sharp . It’s pretty close and a damn good fake though. Are they identical weights and identical circumstances and thickness ? Scary stuff my friend Hahah...4:00 just saw the result ... that was great ! Next time ‘maybe try and show the luster if you could ? I know that’s a lot to ask, so if it’s too difficult obviously it’s no big deal Just a suggestion
I’ve spent good money and been fooled by several sets of ( o Y o ) that turned out to be fake. I was so angry and upset.............................wait a minute, never mind upon further reflection I remember being completely happy and satisfied even though they weren’t real. 😏😬
Hahahah, you should see some of the Eagles the U.S. mint produced in the really early years. :) Horrible. In comparison this one is pretty good actually. I guess it's not easy to engrave/design an eagle. The reverse of the 'Walking Liberty' half dollar has my favorite eagle; a beautiful example.
Quarter eagles are a 5 dollar gold piece not a 2.5 dollar gold piece . 2.5 dollar gold piece would be an eighth of an ounce of gold not a quarter ounce . Dr. G is right about the quarter eagles dollar amount . I was thinking of their weight instead of the dollar amount .
I think the "quarter, and half" refer to the partial amount of the eagles value in 'dollars', not weight. The eagle was a 10 dollar piece. So half would be 5 dollars or "half" eagle, and 1/4 of 10 dollars would be 2.5 dollars, or "quarter" eagle. Double check for me. :)
@@Dr.G You are absolutely right . I had for got the twenty dollar eagles are called double eagles and the 10 dollar eagles are called eagles . Thank you for reminding me .
@@Dr.G I used to collect and sent many coins in to be graded . I used to get my coins graded by N.G.C. and ANACS . I noticed you seem to prefer PCGS are they more credible than NGC now ? Do you have a site with coins for sale ? Thank you .
I think the resale value in America of a PCGS coin is higher than NGC. But I think the grades are basically the same. (it's the other way around in Europe BTW). And no Mike. I don't sell my coins. Unless I've bought an upgrade. And even then, I always anticipate a loss. I'm a pure collector. When I'm gone, someone else will sell my collection. :) And by the way, I don't have a very high opinion of dealers as well. LOL Don't tell anyone. :) I've seen so many crooks in this business... Breaking up sets for profit, dipping, multiple resubmissions to squeak a higher grade, buying collections from relatives of deceased collectors and lying through their teeth. Honest coin dealers don't make much money, so it really has to be a labor of love. And there are very few people willing to make minimal money, (although they all claim they do). I think there is a conflict of interest if a dealer values a collection for a client and then is allowed to make an offer. It's easy for them to use their knowledge to take advantage of someone. My biggest problem is that they don't add any value to the item, they are just middle men; I don't trust any of them. Hahahah. Well, most of them. Too much money involved with coins :) now I'll get off my soapbox. LOL
@@Dr.G You are right . I know one honest guy that deals in precious metals and coins but that is only a small percentage of where he makes his income from . You are right they are middle men that just make the price higher if you are buying and a lower price if you are selling .
Is it just my tired eyes or does it look like the pinwheel field frosting was recarved (somewhat) meticulously into the die by hand on the counterfeits? Either that, fake bag marks, or a late die stage...though, frankly, I'm not fond of gold coins so I wouldn't know what a 2 1/2$ looks like in person.
Yeah John, it's pretty subjective. Bag marks are usually pretty obvious though. If a mint state coin looks like it was hit by another coin it's probably a bag mark. Many mint state Morgan dollars display good examples of bag marks. Thanks for the comment. 👍
The quarter at the end is only worth it’s weight in silver. Why does it make sense to send off ? Honestly kinda confused Isn’t it expensive getting coins graded
The 1932s Washington quarter is the second highest value date of the entire Washington Quarter series, next to the '32D. It's a high value coin if it's straight graded, and even with a details grade in AU it's still worth much more that melt. I actually like this coin even with the "junk" on the reverse. LOL
Hey Dr - new to your channel and had a question.. with the little knowledge I have on coins - does getting the coins graded really raise the value enough to warrant the cost of getting it done?
On higher value coins grading definitely is beneficial. People are much more willing to pay a high price for a coin that has been certified genuine. And as a matter of fact many people these days are paying "only" for the grade. They don't really care what the coin looks like as long as they can put it in what's called a registry set, where collectors compete and get credit for the highest graded coins. But on lower value coins, grading, "or slabbing" is not going raise the sales price enough to cover the cost. It's a gamble for sure. Thanks for the comment.
D Reese: the answer in a word is : YES. I won a Red Cent 1904. The club bought it for $120. It was marked MS65 on the flip. I had it graded and it came back MS66+RD and is listed on PCGS as $2400.
i appreciate the way you present your coins in a way that lets the novice try to learn what to look for as far as guessing grading.
i have to think that they may have graded them 1st in a group and then slabbed them incorrectly. that 1928 was definitely damaged. no offense. still great coins one and all
Thanks Icon2012. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The 1927 I guessed MS -61. That was fun. Thanks for that video.
Thanks Jerald.
Excellent video! The MS63 probably was a lamination error and hence legit. Now I am off to watching all your other videos. Subbed.
Yea, pretty strange. Thanks for watching. Subbed as well.
You got the grader who had a liquid lunch before grading with that MS63. Good for you, usually it goes the other way.
They had a blind person grading most of this stuff

I assume because copper and silver expand at different rates so when heated it effected the coin.
Good Show 👍
Thanks my friend.
Dr G, where have you been pal. In the Yukon panning I’d guess. Anyway we need some more videos buddy.
This was fun, great video for gradig training. Subbed.
Thanks, as you can see, I have a lot to learn. LOL At least no more counterfeits
Aw you got me lol unfair. I thought it was the 1862 just cause of the age...I was technically right. Bag marks 62 twice! You got some good grades throughout, nice. Thanks for the vid!
Yeah I’m pretty tricky lol. Thanks for watching bud
I bet you one day of that 1932 quarter’s A mechanic had it and possibly spilled a little bit of battery acid on to it and that battery acid had a chance to eat away part of the wing
Could be Aaron. You never know. :)
Very nice 32s quarter,wow
Thanks, that rust is a bit odd though. 👍
@@Dr.G it gives it character,lol. I've sold some rough 32s for good money,that is a great looking coin imo
Thanks bud. :)
The luster on that 1926 that was MS-63 I thought. MS-64. Beautiful coin.
Thanks for the comments Jerald 👍
@@Dr.G I ve wanted to send in my 1911 D 2.50 Gild Eagle in for grading. How did you know how much to insure those coins of gold for ?
Just estimated Jerald. Since I didn't know the grade before hand, I didn't know how much it's worth. Tough call.
People knowingly purchased these fakes because at the time, Americans were prohibited to own gold except for certain collectible coins (the ban on private gold ownership lasted from 1933 until 1974). Those people who wanted to own gold had limited options and were less concerned about authenticity than they were about gold content. Often these days the kids inherit the coins and think they have the real deal until they send them in for grading. Hope yours are gold!
I think the MS63 wasn't properly graded, the upper right part got a scratch that look like part of it has been removed.... I would ask them for a redoing....
Wow, nice coins! It's sad to think that people make fake coins and trick people with them. Anyways, cool video!
Treasure Tracker yeah you have to be careful these days. The grading service really helps me with that. Thanks for watching
In addition, a 'Forgery' would be almost ALWAYS be struck from the correct metal. A forger is trying to turn a $300 piece of gold into a high end collectible piece with high numismatic value. A counterfeiter is trying to just pass a piece off. A Forger intends to fool the best eyes for a large profit.
Congrats nice vid, I will be sure to do the ping and magnetic test on every coin I purchase from now on.
Wise move. You can't be too careful.
Nice Thank You
You're welcome my friend.
Thanks for the vid. Proved I don't know shit abt grades. Some of the 58's looked better to me than the MS 62/63's, especially the one missing part of "LIBERTY". Overall nice lot. Again, THANKS.
Thanks Ben. Yeah, sometimes I think they are just throwing darts at a grade board. LOL
I've go a 1933 St. Gaudens double eagle, I think it's fake but I can't be sure?
Yes bag marks are OK on coins. You can still get MS grades with bag marks are long as it's still showing as mintstate.
That ms63 has a error is why it looks funny no material was removed looks like a die clash or strike threw
👌👍 Cool.
Love your stuff and unboxing from the grading services. That Indian Coin 2-1/2 looked like a big chunk was out, WOW I with you on that one I never expected it was a mint error or defect, you might want to re submit?
Yeah, pretty strange. They gave it a 63 though, if I resubmit they might find something wrong and downgrade. But if someone were to ever purchase that coin, I imagine the defect would be a concern. Thanks for watching, and commenting Dave.
Just discovered you today and,I subscribed!
Thanks for watching Faith.
I recently discovered this cool channel too!
Any plans to add new videos? Would really look forward to seeing them.
Yeah the plans and material are there but the time needs to be arranged lol. Hopefully I can get going again. Thanks for the check up 👍
I was fooled I thought one of them was real I have no idea they look great
I couldn't tell either. Amazing job. Thanks for the comment.
Hello from Perth , Australia .
Thanks so much for all the great comments Kayne. Glad to hear from Perth.👍👍
This just shows me that getting coins graded by the one that did those coins is a waste of money...
The interesting thing is that there are two separate graders for each coin. Followed by one more to triple check before it's released. I don't know enough about these coins to really say too much. Thanks for the comment.
nice vid, i dont know how you got a 63 on that one
Jimmygunz81 yea, I thought it was a counterfeit LOL.
And you trust PCGS now???
Awesome video I'm new to this I learned a lot.
Hey thanks. When I was new to numismatics and discovering coins I had the best time. Enjoy.
LOVE THE SUSPENSE OF YOUR VIDEOS.. WHAT'S THE GRADE?😳😳😳😳😆😂😂👍👍👍
Cat Dash hahaha. Thanks 🤩
Really enjoyed this.
Thanks Steven. :)
Fun video!
Thanks asheland. Appreciate it.
You strike MS63 from PCGS on 1928 Indian head AU. Your queries on the Liberty anomaly appears to look like a STRUCK THROUGH GREASE which is a minting error. Congratulations nevertheless!!
Hey, that would be interesting. :) Thanks for the observation, and comment.
Is cleaning that bad? The second one was graded unc with cleaning does that degrade value?
Yeah, kills the value, and permanently destroys the coin. Best to just leave things dirty.
@@Dr.G interesting. Thanks for info
Good lord ,I love the incuses...cannot WAIT till i can afford one. Probably going to just get some silver rounds with that incuse design to help to stave off the need for abit.
corey merrill. There you go Corey. :)
@@Dr.G yeah, in slacking on mt bullion anyway. Lol. Just likewith the palladium eagles. I will get there...and alot sooner for a piece that isnt in wonderfull condition.
Im not doing to baddly for being so new and my financial situation...just got my first morgan , pcgs ms 64 1893-0 half with rainbow toned obverse and bright with reverse. Not a rarety, but its super nice for me. Just saw a pcgs ms66+ 1883 O with a toned reverse and abit of toning on the rim of the obverse for $3000 off of a suggested link for coins they say i need in my registery.
corey merrill wow expensive registry coins for sure. Sounds like you have a nice collection. 👍
@@Dr.G its...eclectic...and small. Lol. I have it listed for the world anyway between pcgs and ncg registry sets so i dont mind giving the basic rundown . Pcgs ms64 1883-o morgan with the toning.a pcgs ms69 2000 1/4 platinum eagle, a pcgs sp69 2013-W burnished eagle with undocumented as of now rim error...both anacs and ngc ms 70 2017 saes the ngc has a straw yellow toning just starting to form... ,a pf 70 ultra cameo 2017-W sae with fdoi & early releases marked label..which is odd to me .
Ngc bu 2007 p and d andrew jackson fdoi set and a bu 2008 d john adams fdoi. Ngc bu 09 presidency cent, which i need to mark in the notations as the reason plain bu coins can now be registered (bu fdoi and other specialty labels were ok already)
A bu 2010 fdoi First year ceramony shield cent. A few half dollars , dimes and quarters all ngc or pcgs ms/pf 69 or 70 except a 57d fbl franklin half. At ms 64 . a type 2 penny blank in anacs holder, and some attributed but ungraded stuff. 1940 s over s mercury dime, 1939 1-0-V-cw error quarter...i dont remeber what the code means. Lol. And a 1964 b reverse. The rest is just raw waiting for attribution and /grading. If deamed worthy.
scratch means that someone has tested it with nitric acid. It's not green, so it's gold- most likely
Those are all beautiful coins scratched or not I know this is an older video but I just picked up a 1908 quarter eagle NGC MS-64 and a 1932 $10 Indian PCGS also MS-64 you should know never clean a coin have it professionally done if anything
You're absolutely right Bob. Never clean your coins. You live and you learn. Good advise. Congrats on your pickups.
Thanks for the comment. 👍👍
Great stuff again Doctor !
I paused video at 3:25 to write this. I’m gonna guess the 1862-S is fake where it’s far more scarce/rare firstly
Secondly if you could try to show us the cartwheel luster that would really help (me anyway). The design features on the 1862-S look flatter or not as sharp . It’s pretty close and a damn good fake though.
Are they identical weights and identical circumstances and thickness ?
Scary stuff my friend
Hahah...4:00 just saw the result ... that was great !
Next time ‘maybe try and show the luster if you could ?
I know that’s a lot to ask, so if it’s too difficult obviously it’s no big deal
Just a suggestion
Hahahahah, Love it. Yeah, I do my best to show the coins. 👍
I’ve spent good money and been fooled by several sets of ( o Y o ) that turned out to be fake. I was so angry and upset.............................wait a minute, never mind upon further reflection I remember being completely happy and satisfied even though they weren’t real. 😏😬
Hahahah. They're all fake.....
Damn the eagle on the fake coins looks like a kfc chicken or something mutated haha
Hahahah, you should see some of the Eagles the U.S. mint produced in the really early years. :) Horrible. In comparison this one is pretty good actually. I guess it's not easy to engrave/design an eagle. The reverse of the 'Walking Liberty' half dollar has my favorite eagle; a beautiful example.
The Indians you’ve showed give me hope. Video in the works...😬 Production delays tho 😂😎
Dude the 1927 MS62 was a shocker but so cool. I hope to be as fortunate if I send mine in
Don’t talk to me about delays 😂😂. I’m the king of delays.
I'm sorry I just confused you are graded your coins at pcgs or bought from them ?
I had my coins graded at PCGS. 👍
On the best of the qtr eagles, hold it up to another to see if its the same.
Thank you for sharing. I was glued to my phone.
Dennis Mendoza
Haha thanks Dennis, I appreciate the comment.
Good Information, thanks for posting.
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Were they at least all gold? Losing the numismatic value doesn't sting as much if you retain the gold weight value.
Yes, the 1862s is gold, I'm not sure about the other. So, you're right, gold is gold. Hahaha. Thanks for the comment Kurt.
You scored
Quarter eagles are a 5 dollar gold piece not a 2.5 dollar gold piece . 2.5 dollar gold piece would be an eighth of an ounce of gold not a quarter ounce . Dr. G is right about the quarter eagles dollar amount . I was thinking of their weight instead of the dollar amount .
I think the "quarter, and half" refer to the partial amount of the eagles value in 'dollars', not weight. The eagle was a 10 dollar piece. So half would be 5 dollars or "half" eagle, and 1/4 of 10 dollars would be 2.5 dollars, or "quarter" eagle. Double check for me. :)
@@Dr.G You are absolutely right . I had for got the twenty dollar eagles are called double eagles and the 10 dollar eagles are called eagles . Thank you for reminding me .
@@Dr.G I used to collect and sent many coins in to be graded . I used to get my coins graded by N.G.C. and ANACS . I noticed you seem to prefer PCGS are they more credible than NGC now ? Do you have a site with coins for sale ? Thank you .
I think the resale value in America of a PCGS coin is higher than NGC. But I think the grades are basically the same. (it's the other way around in Europe BTW). And no Mike. I don't sell my coins. Unless I've bought an upgrade. And even then, I always anticipate a loss. I'm a pure collector. When I'm gone, someone else will sell my collection. :) And by the way, I don't have a very high opinion of dealers as well. LOL Don't tell anyone. :) I've seen so many crooks in this business... Breaking up sets for profit, dipping, multiple resubmissions to squeak a higher grade, buying collections from relatives of deceased collectors and lying through their teeth. Honest coin dealers don't make much money, so it really has to be a labor of love. And there are very few people willing to make minimal money, (although they all claim they do). I think there is a conflict of interest if a dealer values a collection for a client and then is allowed to make an offer. It's easy for them to use their knowledge to take advantage of someone. My biggest problem is that they don't add any value to the item, they are just middle men; I don't trust any of them. Hahahah. Well, most of them. Too much money involved with coins :) now I'll get off my soapbox. LOL
@@Dr.G You are right . I know one honest guy that deals in precious metals and coins but that is only a small percentage of where he makes his income from . You are right they are middle men that just make the price higher if you are buying and a lower price if you are selling .
PCGS, go home, your drunk. lol
Hahahah, :)
Great video!
Thanks.
That 1928 is no way a 63 Dr G. Would be interesting to see if you sent it to say APMEX and see if they would pay you as a 63? Unreal.
Yeah, I guess they thought it might be a planchet flaw or something. Pretty strange though. Thanks for the comment Mike.
$2.50 ? They're worth more in melt value aren't they?
Absolutely my friend 👍
Is it just my tired eyes or does it look like the pinwheel field frosting was recarved (somewhat) meticulously into the die by hand on the counterfeits? Either that, fake bag marks, or a late die stage...though, frankly, I'm not fond of gold coins so I wouldn't know what a 2 1/2$ looks like in person.
Not sure Dusty, your guess would be as good as mine. :)
Gamble on grading. How can one differentiate between a bag mark and not a bag mark? I know not. Guessing game by grader IMO.
Yeah John, it's pretty subjective. Bag marks are usually pretty obvious though. If a mint state coin looks like it was hit by another coin it's probably a bag mark. Many mint state Morgan dollars display good examples of bag marks. Thanks for the comment. 👍
The quarter at the end is only worth it’s weight in silver. Why does it make sense to send off ? Honestly kinda confused
Isn’t it expensive getting coins graded
The 1932s Washington quarter is the second highest value date of the entire Washington Quarter series, next to the '32D. It's a high value coin if it's straight graded, and even with a details grade in AU it's still worth much more that melt. I actually like this coin even with the "junk" on the reverse. LOL
I think the one 63 is a poor strike or error in strike
Hey Dr - new to your channel and had a question.. with the little knowledge I have on coins - does getting the coins graded really raise the value enough to warrant the cost of getting it done?
On higher value coins grading definitely is beneficial. People are much more willing to pay a high price for a coin that has been certified genuine. And as a matter of fact many people these days are paying "only" for the grade. They don't really care what the coin looks like as long as they can put it in what's called a registry set, where collectors compete and get credit for the highest graded coins. But on lower value coins, grading, "or slabbing" is not going raise the sales price enough to cover the cost. It's a gamble for sure. Thanks for the comment.
D Reese: the answer in a word is : YES.
I won a Red Cent 1904. The club bought it for $120. It was marked MS65 on the flip. I had it graded and it came back MS66+RD and is listed on PCGS as $2400.
