Same (more rain) most places here in NW WA. Ground is saturated, more precipitation inbound, at least one notorious river already at flood...
No, I think not...a bit beyond my reach, eh? Nice, though...Very!
Piece of Eight Well, dang! I can't put my hands on those fat men. I think I know where they are, but it's for a later time now. But while rootin'...
Wow...I wish mine looked half that good. I've got two (year unknown): both have had hard looks by folks with experience, who suggested they may...
How interesting to learn that 'grading' (as opposed to authenticity certification) is an extra cost option in some cases! Silly me...I thought it...
That's an interesting thought. I've been aware that Asian antiquities are being repatriated in enormous quantity, but it hadn't occurred to me...

That is stunning news! You say 'major auction'; I'm thinking Heritage...have you any specific suggestions about others? If you had these...
Thanks...that decides the issue for me. I don't believe any of those Cartwheels will reveal worth in the range that will make slabbing...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] This one is obviously very different from, and with any luck considerably more valuable than, the first two....
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Well, I tried. This is two of three.
Aside from Cartwheels, my need for grading is immediately focused on three Japanese silver coins. This is the newest of the three. All have...
That's about where I'm settling...but gross ignorance, abetted somewhat by CT help, tells me I have a lot to learn. Thanks...
Thanks, Ripley...Better pics than mine, too!
