My concern is getting banned for saying what my concerns are. But why did you start this? "Getting toppled" by the lack of new numismatists seems...
Getting toppled by the lack of new numismatists is the least of my concerns right now.
Try to get in the habit of looking up images of coins - NGC, PCGS, Heritage, whatever. This would immediately tell you that they all have it,...
Just be careful who you're buying from if online. I did a "shopping" search and saw a site called winktop selling them for $24.99 or if you buy...
I didn't have any illusions about actually getting those coins too. That seemed pretty obvious to me. What I question is why somebody wants a...
A quick look on Heritage shows many MS coins with the exact same thing. Weak strike. [ATTACH]
I see hits on the eyebrow, nose and lips that kinda sorta makes it look "doubled", but nah. Your first step is to go straight to Wexlers or...
I don't know how, I just know that it happens. It's commonly believed that clashes can only be seen in the fields, and that's simply not true....

My thought was that it's not a 2, but a character from some other alphabet. But I looked at a bunch - Sanskrit, Thai, Laos, Cambodia, Malay, etc -...
MS61, 62 if generous. Nice photos.
Huh, your slab photo is like a different coin. You want accurate grading or pipe dreams? Send it to CAC and see what they say. It's not like the...
The example I was thinking of. Seller: [ATTACH]Mine: [ATTACH]
I'm guessing it was originally mounted like this. [ATTACH]
In my very limited experience, the ones I've bought (not Morgans) for other reasons that looked colorful in the seller photos are butt ugly in...
Hmm. The obverse fields say AU to me so I said AU58 but maybe they let it slide as MS61? Or tougher on it at AU50.
I was one lucky kid. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's a thought but probably not worth the effort; the images I have are good enough to see the types. I'll use the slideshow file to try to...
Separate names with a comma.
