MS-67 sounds pretty darn good for an older, non-modern coin, at least to me anyway! Anyway, I'm going to submit this WWII Irish coin in soon, and...
Was 1871 a special year? And this one from 1869 is nice - I'll take one lol. There's no "Chicago" on this example, but maybe there's a variant...
How about creative accounting with numbers that sound reasonable? So... maybe they took the gold troy ounce value in 1909 ($18.96), multiplied it...
Canada seems to pump out some nice proof-like coins. I remember reading from various threads that proof dies were used to make MS proof-like...
Nice thanks! How about cashmere - is that softer than velvet? I have a peshtemal towel, those are uber soft, I can try that but I think I want...
So that's what those are for lol.
I get that there's a whole different world of coin speculation, notoriety for grades, etc. But to me, it's not about those things - I see this as...
Yeah, I mentioned the exclusion of moderns, not really a fan of the crazy speculation that goes on with that.
I'm about to submit a 1940's Ireland mint set with coins that were just sitting there in the pastel green OGP, possibly for as long as they were...
I don't like to put my coins on registries either. It's enough for me to know, even if I ever do hold the "world record" :D:hilarious::rolleyes:...
Do you ever look for raw coins to perhaps beat the current PCGS/NGC highest graded record? As I'm looking to send some coins in to NGC, I can't...
I haggle all the time. That seems like the MO at these places. However, the last place I went to, they were more of a jewelry store and didn't...
I use the inner circles to push the coin into the Air-tites. Is there any chance at all that with enough force, the foam can scratch the coin?
Die clash, I believe.
True, most sellers don't know what the buyers will get charged. But, if the alternative is that the seller won't sell internationally at all,...
I do now lol, but one can only hope, right?
Yes - Global Shipping Program. I ship domestically to the shipping center in Erlanger, KY, and eBay (or its third party shipping provider) takes...
Thanks, it looks like it's going away time for that one.
Should I send this one in for conservation? Usually I like tarnish, but it's not consistent tarnish and the color falls apart unnaturally. I think...
I've been simply using my desk or self-healing mat. I'm not sure that's the best surface to place raw coins on as I inspect my incoming purchases....
Separate names with a comma.
