Nice! That's a very attractive example for the type.
Thanks! I was VERY lucky, which seems to be a rarity in auctions these days.
The Tempo Koban and older are slightly smaller than the whole size of a PCGS slab and weigh a little over 11 grams. The Man'en Koban are smaller...
I was very fortunate to have picked up a nice grouping of pre-meiji Japanese coinage in the last few weeks and couldn't wait to share once I had...
I had thought about bidding but all of the Greek lots I would have bid on went for crazy prices. I'm glad I didn't waste my time putting a well...
Thanks! I bought it from Allen Schein directly and had to twist his arm for it. It's fully PL both sides but was submitted before PCGS started...
Very nice looking coin for the key of the series! I would resubmit that coin if it were mine. If in person it looks like the photo, I think you...
Update: grades FINALLY came in! Overall I was pretty happy with them.
I have plenty of discipline saving, that's not the issue. I also separate my savings by type, and if the finite "coin account" is used, I advance...
Oh I completely agree with ancients, but there are always multiple lots competing for the saved dollars and it can be hard to decide what to bid...
I'm of a similar mindset, but my struggle comes from the potential opportunity cost of using the saved money. If I buy something I like now,...
The anticipation is excruciating. If they released grades once graded until waiting to release them once shipped, the wait would be a lot more...
Well, you probably only have about a month left to wait now haha
Their wait time is absolutely excruciating for QA and the anticipation is killing me. I thought after it hit QA it would be shipped within a...
Here is one of my favorites for the dramatic super weak strike. I sold this one recently after it had been in my collection a long time, but on...
EXTREMELY slow. I've had an order in that was logged 12/29/2021 and was supposed to be 30 business day turn around... I am now at 75 business days...
Great win! I was actually bidding on that coin also, but dropped out before the hammer price and I wasn't the immediate underbidder. That one is a...
Wow, that's a great price at around $1k. Well done!
Gorgeous coin! I guessed correct, though I was split between 65 and 66. I could see it going 66. That's a stunning coin.
That's a die crack, not a scratch. If grading technically, it shouldn't affect the grade as it is a strike fault. If market grading, it should...
Separate names with a comma.
