Here's one seller's coin I came across while browsing on eBay. Nothing wrong with what the seller is doing or selling - I'm just pointing out the...
I think this is a relatively extreme double die deterioration. But I don't think I have that coin anymore so I can't check it.
Wow so the Clay term is completely arbitrary, like car names but for coins. I'm hoping that the silver Clay medals will also feature a turtle...
I'm wondering if the South Korea 1 Clay silvers are meant to be denominations of 1 Clay, but are also just called medals. It was a bit confusing....
Thanks - that looks like it's it! It appears to be from 9-23 AD, or nearly 2000 years old! And I thought it was only a couple hundred or so years old.
I received this Chinese (?) coin as a freebie along with another coin I had purchased. However, I can't seem to find this example anywhere online...

It weighs 26.51 grams, has a diameter of 38.5mm, and a thickness of 2mm. If I'm not mistaken, I calculate the specific gravity to be 11.386.
OK, this came back from NGC as "ALTERED SURFACE" and NOT ENCAPSULATED. I don't understand why it wasn't encapsulated. It's not that they don't...
I'm confused - I only have one of this medal. Overall, I've had 9 submissions total in the last 6 months with dozens of coins total. This is the...
Obviously I'm leaning towards #3 lol... Given the huge 5 oz size of the medal and the immaculate condition it was in, any scratches would have...
Yes I agree, highly detailed photos should always be taken at every stage - of every coin if it's practical or at least those of significant value...
OK, NGC got back to me and stated that "The coin was reviewed by the graders and they are confident that it is in the same condition as...
I should probably just say "on eBay" lol.
Separate names with a comma.
