Presumably this also explains why the 1921 high-relief Peace Dollar often appears "flattened" at its highest point even in the absence of wear.
The sovereign is a beautiful design. And yes, inflation generally follows wars, and historically coin devaluation was another result. Because...
That's my guess too. I don't know how to factor in the color but that's one incredible example.
I like trains but man that eagle is spectacular.
That's a truly bizarre experience. Like many here, I've bought a number of coins from "MorganDealer" (different name) and they are notorious for...
Her skin is beautifully patinated and so are the fields. Detail is strong though not ultimate quality. 63, or 64 on a good day. (Say the grader...
A good lesson here. When possible, provide an alternate means of contact. A (free) Google Voice number has been very helpful to me, because...
Why would they do this? I've often attended (non-numismatic) shows late on the last day because vendors don't want to take things back home with...
Thanks very much for your report. I've never been to a show and your recounting gave me a real sense of what it's like. One question: Are photos...

Thanks very much for doing this work at your own expense Adam. Very informative and useful. Clearly the difference between "SUPERB+ GEM BU" and...

Ohhh, it's worse than that. Much worse. [MEDIA]
Someone please PM me and tell me what was moderated in this thread! Looks like some juicy coins were edited out. ETA: now I see Jeff's post just...
Good advice of course but if I followed it I'd never have any fun at all :cool:
Same deal with Kroger. It was always the official policy but most of the time you'd have to make a point of it, and they'd comply. No longer...
I'm pretty useless at grading but that coin is so beautiful it makes me weak. Can I trade you my house for it? I'll be homeless but so very happy.
Weird...if it's listed as a fake or repro it doesn't bother me. However I don't make the rules, which is probably just as well.
I'm still amazed. This means you've spent over $10K on counterfeits, and that's just the ones you've gotten refunded. So, overall, you've spent...
Separate names with a comma.
