I never really got that into the coin to even notice the bump. I like to start with a birds eye view(or whatever I can get from the photo) and...
Thanks for the link but I've already seen that coin and don't really like the way it looks to be honest so I'm on the lookout for another
Albanian and Italian of the early 20th century with minor dabbling in French and Greek coinage across all periods
Unless the future slab is milestones better for conservation than today's slab I wouldn't bother. More so I've noticed collectors like older...
The auction actually closes in two weeks. But I won't be getting any of them. My financial situation is very similar to yours right now and while...
Totally understand. On another note I wouldn't let the sticker shock bother you too much. The quality of that piece will outlive its monetary...
Congrats :) If you feel like pursuing the set even further there are a few of these being sold in the upcoming Stephen Album auction. Most...
Inclined to Agree. Case in point for me is the 1926 20 franga. It has a Mintage of 5900(even greater than its 1927 counterpart) and yet I've been...
Fair enough. I completely understand where you are coming from regarding your definition of rare. Much like Conder tokens there are dozens of...

I've self graded the lira where as PCGS has given its opinion on the Drachma
Who said anything about either coin being in a slab? Guess the grade also means guess MY grade!
Care to guess the grade :D
I'm not sure what the spots are. They might be verdigi but it doesn't matter. They aren't even visible with a loop and as long as its stored...
There aren't any breaks in luster on the drachma. What you see is just a bit of dark toning. With that said I'll wait for a few more replies and...
I've never hosted a "guess the grade" type session so I thought I would make my first and ask cointalk what they think the grades on these two...
Exactly; definitely agree with all that was mentioned. It's not unusual for the TPG's to do this though on world coins. I've seen examples graded...
Surprisingly beyond this type there aren't any other slab boxes(at least that I'm aware). I just want a few because it would provide a nice...
