the spock collection

All,

I have received tremendous responses to my posts which have left me humbled i have been asked to come out of retirement and post coins. unfortunately my retirement is more of a permanent nature than we first thought but we can still look at some of the older foreign coins that i have in my collection and play guess the grade. so you get to see new coins but i get to stay retired best for both of us. If you click on the image it will become bigger to help with grading. thanks.

I'm not going to venture a guess at grade but I will say the coins are all extremely nice (as I would expect if they are in your collection).

I hope your "retirement" proves to be temporary.

 

Chin up Spock....It'll turn around soon.

 

can we start guessing the grades

 

If they're 5 different coins....from top to bottom

well Frank come back and give us numbers nice and very nice are not grades

 

spock,

Okay, even though those are real grades used (check the Sammler Münzen Buch), I will give it a try with numerical grades! You must understand that I have a hard time grading some denominations and Series of U.S. coins and know virtually nothing about grading German coins.

MS-62/63 Double rimmed, has a ding and a long scratch and some corrosion.
MS-64/65
MS-60?
MS-64 Damage or Strike Thru on right of Reverse.
MS-60?

Because I got them all correct or because that's way too low?

 

Personale I think they are only good for scrap, so Spock if you want me to do you a BIG favour and get rid of them for you, just let me know Honestly I am no good at grades but I do know what I like and I do like them :thumb:

 

The 29 and the 16 are real jaw droppers, thanks for the eye candy!!

 

wait till you see my latest norway coin. its the one and only coin that i have bought sight unseen it arrived today. its amazing that if you have spread your net wide how long it takes before you last purchase arrives

 

Spock give me a break , my mind is geting foggy trying to figure them out , again beautiful coins , I'll grade one at a time for my sanity , LOL .

i had short listed 15 coins that i was going to buy if you had seen those sigh i was planning to close all doors on my world gold coin collection. i wasnt going to hit them out of the park i was going to hit them out of the city

 

I'll be waiting for the Norwegian piece. I just know it'll be another stunner

 

yea that might not happen untill next week at the earlist though but i did put up some other pieces that i think were too low end to display like the coins here

 

I'd guess even your lowest end coin trumps my best
