If Krause hasn't made one yet, I'll have to suggest it to them. They're pretty much on cruise control now, as most of their books include the same...
Aren't there silver-type collectors? I see a lot in the bullion forum. The book would be half if not less than the current size, so it'll be...
I contest - I think it's both practical and economical, with enough market demand from the numismatic community to be a viable option for Krause's...
It seems that chopmarks are treated entirely as damage by PCGS and NGC, while counter-stamped / counter-marked coins are treated just like a...
It would be neat if Krause would come up with one. Maybe one for gold, too. It'll condense the books' size, either by the number of books needed...
I have the "regular" one for 1900-2000, and it lists coins of all compositions. I'm mostly interested in silver and silver alloy coins. So, I...
Yeah, the net, marginal increase or even break even amount would be a good way to look at it, especially for selling purposes. If I knew I'd just...
Do you have a dollar value in mind for coins that qualify for grading submission? This dollar value would take into account any devaluation due...
That's a good point! I'll take note of that.
You posted this exactly as I posted my question on what it is that appears fake. But yes, the fields do stand out in a bad way now that you...
I get that feeling, too, that it's a replica. But, I can't really tell by the die markers. Or maybe it looks a certain way? Not sure what it is.
There's a 1724 version which has a similar reverse, KM# 162.4 - the "pillars" on the reverse seem to be more intricate in areas where there's no...
I'm not a fan of damaging the coin, so I won't be able to do the drop/ring test, sorry. I just tried testing it for magnetism with an N52...
It's pics of the same coin, one angled shot and one directly atop. The coin isn't slabbed. It's interesting that the details are sharp if it were...
Is this 1725 Russian Rouble authentic? I did some research and I can't tell - are there any Russian coin buffs here? The coin weighs in at 28.2...
Interesting, I see what you mean - the ray at the cape. Maybe the engraver forgot about that ray, since the cape doesn't have an outline where...
Because NGC (/Krause) says so, lol. Maybe it's a teenage horse (?). The description also states that it's a "horse and rider", so there's that....
Does anyone think that this 1910 Mexico Peso Caballito coin is cleaned? Or, are those marks on the coin simply contact marks? The contact marks...
Yes, if the seller is provoking the buyer, then that would be a different scenario altogether, which this sounds like it is given the two times it...
Yes, got that lol :)
