I got a bit of metallic artwork in the mail today (rather than re-shoot, I'm going to use the seller's pictures): [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
This arrived in the mail today. My digital scale bounces between 11 and 12g for this. I'm still trying to decipher the hallmark though: what does...
The description that Catherine left of Peter III is not particularly flattering.
I almost always go in and get a $1 lottery ticket. I guess I'm just an optimist... But seriously, a lot of people still go inside to pay. Gas...
It looks like the first has been cleaned (those look like wire brush marks to me), and the 3rd is in slightly better shape than the 2nd. I'm not...
Forgive my ignorance, but what makes a coin a 'radiate'?
Thanks! I like the Nicaragua design a lot, but mine is dinged and yours looks to be in BU. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for that 1936 piece?
True. There's something cool about buying shipwreck silver though. And, if I remember correctly, the silver pendant that I got (a 'repro' piece...
I would be cautious cleaning this coin. There are some really odd-ball VAMs out there, and cleaning rarely improves value (it often degrades eye...
It looks like a legit cud to me. But, cuds do seem to be a lot more common on copies - I've seen them show up on counterfeit Morgan's. Are Cuban...
I've seen those in dealer junk bins and melt bins for pretty close to spot. Who really buys those, I wonder?
Let's get the thread back on track... Yesterday I picked up a big pile of coins from a bullion dealer who didn't have any knowledge of foreign...
So, the bullion dealer negotiated a bit, but accepted my 2nd offer. I went $80 for a good selection of silver (including the Cuban piece, an...
Anyone heard an update on this? I have a pendant made from Atocha silver and would love to pick up some more...
Hmm. I wonder how hard it would be to get a storage unit on the ground floor and sink a safe into the slab... Get a bunch of ratty boxes full of...
If an item has a denomination, then I would classify it as a coin. That's the bright line between a medal and a coin. Size / weight / composition...
I've committed to US Philippine coinage as a 'sleeper' investment. I think as more people become aware of it, there is a large potential for the...
Anyone want a bunch of 40% silver dimes and quarters? :rollling:...
I have 5 of these (from 2010), and am tired of people rejecting them as coins. They were produced by the US mint and have a denomination. If these...
I haven't found these mentioned at all in my Krause catalog - perhaps I'm a bit confused. I thought Casa de Moneda was the official Mexican mint?
