Thank you, Ike Skywalker. Those envelopes look interesting. It is maybe worth a trial with low value coins. I may get a pack of those.
Yes, those must have been truly exciting times for coin collectors:) A little early for my time, but close enough to at least get a good feel for...
Thanks, physics-fan3.14. I don't remember what this one really looked like before the window-sill treatment. But, it was bright and the hairlines...
Yeah, but isn't that 'illegal'?
Thanks, insider. I was young(er) when this went on the sill:).
Knowingly bought as ''bright with 'wispy' hairlines''. This is what it looks like after 10-12 years of on-and-off window-sill natural sunlight...
Nice one, Mat. I Like it - it has a nice portrait. M.A denarii as caesar are relatively scarce. I also find his portrait styles in his denarii as...
Question: can it always be assumed that an old silver coin that displays a bright silver color, and has not been carefully and hermetically stored...

As bill says, the estimated survival of 200 for the '43-O Dime come from PCGS. They also estimate the 1844 survival at 1000, and the 1846 (another...
I paid 25 pounds for this 1823/2 Cent at a coin show in the UK years ago. This happened quite a few years ago but even adjusting for inflation it...
Thank you very much, physics-fan3.14, for your thoughtful words.
Thank you, Doug. It came from a careful long-time collector who knew how to choose his bronzes.
Yes. Unfortunately many german collectors seem to like bright, shiny coins......sometimes the cleaning is done carefully (dipping really),...
Most german Weimar-era commemoratives can be found without much problem. The 5-mark coins are much scarcer than the 3-marks. Among the scarcer...
