Oh that's a good one. eBay Bucks are nice if you spend enough to earn the Bucks every quarter. Otherwise, I see this as a form of protest...
I don't see this as a scam against the buyer. The seller seems to be avoiding eBay fees by wanting to solely go through PayPal. You get protection...
I chose "Other..." I don't fill holes, as I prefer collecting different designs to change things up a bit. However, I follow this method with my...
Yeah, I don't get why eBay bidders/buyers don't pay right away, especially for some BIN listings. If it's an auction, 1-2 days is more than...
lol dead giveaway: "enslabulated" - is this word actually used in numismatics? One could just go with the simpler, "slabbed".
It looks as if a screw got pressed down onto it during the striking process. If it's a hit, it looks like a screw/spiral object hit it, or...
You have good taste ;)
Good thing I have CT members to ask :) I do my research on coins when I purchase them, but sometimes my "Spidey senses" will tingle (read: I get...
Here's a better picture of the scratch (also added to first post) - should this be an MS-62 grade if it's a 5mm scratch on the non-relief field?...
You're getting at more of what I am thinking - my questions are usually multi-fold. It's not necessarily the scenario as a miscreant private...
I purchased an "1892" Columbian Expo half dollar that was slabbed in error by PCGS. It's really an 1893, as you can tell from the photo of the...
Now I'm thinking this: combine your two favorite coins of a given ancient civilization, and go on a treasure hunt to find them over-struck! For...
So how do you add your initials? I'm not thinking of making any coins, so don't worry about competition lol. I post questions that I'm curious...
Yes, but my point is if he were to make one using his best example, would the graders at PCGS/NGC be able to tell the difference? Or, to put it...
But what if he made one with a Mint issued date as opposed to a fantasy date? Would the graders be able to tell, especially if there's one with...
I skimmed through that part lol. Only searched for the "DC" part. So, are his designs pretty much exactly the same, minus the initials? I...
I should mention that he states it's an original US mint produced coin: "Each 2009-DC "proofed" Silver Eagle starts out as a US Mint produced...
I know that Daniel Carr is a member here, so maybe he can chime in. But, I'm curious, how does one add a relief to a pre-existing coin? Is it...
But both designs have the acorn. I'm guessing that the second Krause listing is the scarcer variety, given the price tag. The first one is also...
Ahh, I see. So which one's rarer? My guess is the bottom one, right?
Separate names with a comma.
