Up for sale are coins that I have handpicked over the past few years for there general quality of being a superb example of the type. If any...
Yeah I totally understand your point and everyone else's. I myself am definitely changing positioning a bit and am drifting to it being die polish...
That's one of the few if only major area where they share some similarities. I think taking a holistic view and looking at the reverses for...
lol I hope you're being sarcastic with that statement. The last thing that comes to mind when I think of cointalk is nastiness
Apologies I had skipped over your post. My reply was directed towards BRG5658. I am aware of what an overstrike is but I do appreciate your...
I took the liberty of pull that coin up for you. Thanks for mentioning it. Do you really think it has the same marks? It looks completely...
I do appreciate that explanation. I wasn't aware of that to be quite honest

Yep thanks for posting that. Exactly the kind of thing I thought was going on. That coin should be in a details slab 100%. Heck it has heavy...
I actually think the scratches do go over the design features. They are just a bit more subtle. But I definitely see your point as to why they...
That's actually a pretty good observation however I don't think it can be die polish lines. This coin has a mintage of 10 or at the maximum 20 or...
All of the major auctions that wrapped up in the last few weeks had some spectacular material to be sure. However I also noticed quite a bit of...
Another example to share; Corroded yes but lovely all the same and an example that brings out the beauty of the obverse [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Seattlite86 nailed it. Regarding the Socialist era, Albania still did not have the proper minting equipment to produce coins then. The primary...
Hi Everyone, Here are a bunch of coins I'm interested in selling. All coins have acquired very selectively and I am freeing up space in the...
