It's an interesting strategy; using ANACS as a less-expensive "pre-screen" for coins one eventually intends to send off to PCGS or NGC. In...
Cool.
Modern World coins can go for $16? That's news to me. I've been paying for Gold Shield on them.
Recently purchased from Ken Dorney. Roman Egypt (Alexandria): billon tetradrachm of Hadrian, ca. 117-138 AD; canopic jar of Osiris [IMG] This...
Wow. That first is definitely avatar-worthy, as I see you have done.
Except I'm pretty sure Gold Shield tier is mandatory for World coins, so the base fee is $35+, I think? At any rate, as mentioned, I always...
A TrueView is certainly nice to have when you've got a colorfully toned coin. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Y'know what? I'm due to renew my PCGS membership. If I renew at Gold level, I get four grading vouchers. And as coincidence would have it, I...
Sorry, you're imagining things. It's a phantom. I concur with the pareidolia diagnosis.
Neat looking coin. No comment on the variety- that's not my thing. Just in general, I think it's a handsome circulated example, for the grade.
As to the ruined ANACS slab, it is possible a product like Goo-Gone would remove the adhesive residue without further clouding the plastic.
The problem there is finding someone who is also doing a crossover order. I need to do a PCGS World coin submission before too long, but I will...
I’m totally cool with the crackout and think it was appropriate here. Besides, it’s your coin now. :) BTW, if I find the Künker am Dom flip,...
@FitzNigel owns it now, and has liberated it from the plastic, which I probably would have done myself, if I wasn’t such a “slave to the slab” in...
Funny, you don’t look like a duck - er, dvck - at all.
Brilliant! I love it. I quite like the unaltered source picture to begin with. Needs more coins in the tree, however.
I don't think any collector has ever escaped the occasional buyer's remorse. It usually happens quite early on in one's collecting career.
Wow. Say that one out loud, three times, fast! ;) No- on second thought- don't. It would probably summon his vengeful mummy. :nailbiting:
Neat, @Shea19. I like your Max Thrax avatar coin, too. I only have eight Roman coins (four of them denarii) in my collection, but it so happens...
HB2U, you immortal old crooner, you.
