Also wondering if I'm the only seeing his stuff turn up in coin shops?
So, we all know that SGS has extremely liberal grading standards, but that isn't what this thread is about. This thread is about speculating how...
What I do to remove PVC is buy 100% pure acetone, and then take my giant tweezers that have rubber on the ends, grap the coin by the edges, and...
Realized auction prices are the best. I have sold identically graded coins on ebay, and the prices have varied. I'd expect somewhere between the...
That is a great design. It appears to be out of my price range unfortunately though. :( I don't care much for american gold, but some foreign gold...
I really like the reale coins. The crest is really neat. Does anyone happen to know if they make a gold reale coin of any kind?
Do you happen to know if it has any value? I found it in my room, so it must have come from somewhere. I'm honestly not sure how it got here. I'm...
This coin may be worth between 500-1000 dollars IMO, because it is a rare date, but there is no way it is worth 200k IMO regardless of the VAM.

Speedy, That concerned me as well, however I looked through his coins, and he has several hundred for sale, and not one is certified. I think he...
It looks like he scanned it, and if that is the case, it can really take away the coin's luster, so if it looks silver in hand, it may not in a scan.
I've looked pretty long and hard at some other coins, and the mintmark seems to be in the right spot, and the right dimensions based on scale, so...
Looks clad to me. I'll see what others say. That would be awesome if you had the real thing!
The inscription looks exactly as you listed, here is a picture of the reverse. It has some crud on it, and I'm not sure how I am going to remove...
OH NO! You never, ever, ever want to clean a coin! That HUGELY decreases the value :( Hopefully he didn't truly clean it, but rather blow simply...
Feel free. Whenever I have unslabbed coins, I take very nice scans. I just got a digital camera for Christmas, and I'm still having trouble with...
I will provide a closeup as soon as I have the coin in hand, which will be wednesday.
I'm going to guess the franklin is a proof 66 cameo.
I definitely see what you mean. The O mint mark looks like the ones from the pre 1885 years.
What about the hard flips? Do those contain PVC. I guess they could be considered pliable, but certainly not soft. I buy them from Frame-a coin...
Separate names with a comma.
