My first addition in months. I've been searching for some earlier pieces. They just don't come up for sale very often. Even the German dealers I...
I am a big fan of 3rd Party grading but it can make us (including me) lazy at times. We are told constantly buy the coin, not the holder. It...
This was a surprise win in yesterday's Agora auction. I bid on it a while ago and kind of forgot about it. This is now my oldest German States...
Picked up 1 from today's Heritage sale. There were only a handful of lots in the auction that I both wanted and could afford. There were 2 of...

My feeling is the TPG's would give XF details due to the corrosion/environmental damage that appears to be on it. I really like the die cracks....
Cool thread. Thanks for sharing. Way outside of my collecting area but very interesting.
I kind of forgot about it. Just came across it this morning...again. It was long enough that I enjoyed reading it again.
It's a slow day at work so I was working on cleaning up the files on my computer. I came across this piece I wrote a while back. I've never shared...
