OK, well not so much interest but the first was graded at DC67+ and the second at DC63. Uh, no, is all I can say. There are no hairlines on the...
Nope, it is the Unc. - generally Krause has listed this as the (U) type of uncirculated. Up close the circulation quality of the strike is obvious...
OK, this is not really exciting except for one thing: the cost including shipping $3.59!!!! Also, the coin is unknown and not catalogued. Despite...
OK, my bad. These are two different coins. And again I apologize for no reverse pictures... Which do you readers feel shows a superior obverse? I...
OK, first let me apologize at having only obverse pictures and for the darker of the two which comes from a catalog. I think this may demonstrate...
I'd go EF on the two, they both have pleasant toning but a bit of wear. Love the small silvers.
This just today returned as PCGS64PL: [ATTACH]
I just obtained the following, which is not directly in my area of interest. Perhaps readers may know of other Franklin Mint coin dies or have...
This coin, in hand, has quite square edges with reeding very sharp. This was an era that the currency coins were struck without much in the way of...
None have been recorded as seen. Numbers evidently were not kept. In 25 years of collecting, I have not seen another. I lost out on the 1966...
I got this at auction about 4 months ago, and is a nice specimen. The surfaces are PL, the die work very good although no cameo. There is wire...
Yes, interesting that the Smithsonian commissioned a mint in Birmingham, UK to strike a coin whose design was sculpted by Arnold Machin (who had...
Yes, tenbobbit. That is who struck it as I read further in the enclosed literature. I have a feeling that this medal is likely much more scarce...

This is, in my opinion, the finest rendition by Arnold Machin of QE II. It is sterling silver (I think, and maybe someone can ID the...
Interest falls away on their medals, not so some of the early to mid-80s coins however (not 70s though).
I saw the 1984 Trinidad proof set from same seller with MULTIPLE bidders went 540 USD also without packaging or COA. Interestingly, the 1983 set...
Hmm, I seen some coins shown me (NOT mine) that were off quite a bit - both NGC and PCGS. I don not for a moment believe grading is independent of...
Yes, and a few much less! They are fun to chase and have not gotten outrageous. This price did surprise me though.
I was a bit surprised to see that a 1984FM Papua New Guinea Proof Set sold this morning on eBay for $1025+! This surprised me as it was only in...
Separate names with a comma.
