Lessons are pretty simple: don't buy expensive coins without looking at them. If you can't tell by looking at them, only buy from national level...
It's really impossible to tell the grade with those pictures, but it looks like a problem free MS example, so you can't have gone too wrong for $32
Looks AU from the photographs, although it's difficult to tell. Attractive in this grade, but not worth too much more than melt.
I define a coin as expensive if I couldn't sell it for profit immediately after having bought it.
This a medal issued by the Österreichischer Kameradschaftsbund, an Austrian veterans' association. The obverse legend translates as "For special...
I like it - I could see myself paying MS63 money for if I collected the series.
Nice ! I like the rough field surfaces of the trial, very attractive.
Looks like the real deal to me, unless you have reasons to suspect that it's not. Nothing which suggests forgery there.
I'm tempted to say AT. The obverse colours are too banded, and the untoned reverse is a bit suspicious, although it may well just be to do with...
I have a Victorian farthing made into a love token with "AMY SAVAGE" stamped on it. Always wish I could find out who she was...
Body-bag. Although it's worth far more IMO than any gradeable sample.
Not a counterfeit as far as I can tell, suspect this is just a die alignment error. I have several 19th century UK coins with major deviations...
I will consider all reasonable offers, including trades. Will post worldwide. Paypal only. [ATTACH]
Fair enough. I've seen a few go for prices in the $15-20 range, probably will just list it and see what happens.
I'm really confused by the eBay sales - here's one which sold for $185 (Aus) in similar condition -...
Forgot the photo:
Found this in a junk silver lot I bought off eBay. I suspect it's worth rather more than scrap in this condition, but I don't have a catalogue of...
MS62 IMHO. No wear, but a lot of friction marks on the obverse. Lovely toning !
Here are some better photographs - the reverse lustre looks much nicer, like this, in hand. I bought it off eBay. Feel like flipping it now, as...
The lustre is a little subdued under the stain. It is extremely bright, and there are almost no bagmarks, just a very small rim nick. I'll upload...
