OH YEAH. Forgot about that nonsense. Ok, maybe this is second or third dumbest.
An odd little pattern I picked up: Hungarian Forint (ND) Hamburg State Mint Aluminum-Bronze Pattern Reeded Edge 1.4g 12.77mm x 1.5mm [ATTACH]...
I'm going for the coveted gold bean COA.
This is a sign of the end times. Also, why don't they grade the cert too. :facepalm: What's the point of a certificate of authenticity slabbed...
This cert slabbing is perhaps the most idiotic thing I've ever seen a TPG do.
My main collection is Austro-Hungarian 1849-Present. I've seen steady increases in price over the better part of the last decade for sure, and I...
I'll be there Friday.
I don't think you would wholesale a popular liquid coin that you could easily retail yourself, unless it's part of a larger deal. I think the...
The other reason to track and weight by auction house is that some auction houses are terrible at estimating, at least for some material. For the...
I would not lump all auction houses together. Take for example an auction house known for taking photos that make the coin look better than it...

A new pickup from over the weekend: Hungary 50 Forint 1972BP Pattern Proof of KM-596 Commemorating the 1000th Anniversary of the Birth of Saint...
I prefer world silver, followed by older US coins (readable dates, nothing newer than say 1947). I also collect a few series of 1 oz and 2 oz art...
I would stay away from any mint sets post 1964, except for the SMS sets. The older the set, the better, as long as it is complete. Having said...
A fair point, but you could just keep a small plastic scale in your wallet and use it with a more compact magnifier when needed. I keep one in my...
Doesn't really have a name. Just die varieties caused by the date not being on the hub and added to two separate dies in a way that is...
Looks cumbersome. If you need a 30x to see something, it isn't really there. A quality 5x magnifier with a light is really all anyone needs.
You mean a Pachislo token. Pachinkos take pachinko balls for play, not tokens.
A stunner! Fine pickup and congrats.
For those who voted PCGS, is there a particular country you collect in PCGS slabs? How do you feel about their grading for that country?
