Oh! Nice! I like these gigliati. They've been on my radar for a year or so. Very handsome medievals. I put this one in my watchlist after one...
Ouch. Duly noted. Thanks for the cautionary tale.
Nice portrait. I like 'em brassy, too. Cheap? Well, OK, then. Sounds good to me!
I think so, too, though modern errors are not my forte, and I will defer to those with more experience. Looks like a minor clip to me. But I...
BUT, if you're sending it to PCGS, and you do want to try Restoration service, I'd be interested to see the outcome. But I don't think that's...
Maybe, but I'd be inclined to leave it as-is. Aside from the spot/stain on the back of Liberty's head and the patch near the Y in LIBERTY, I...
I concur, though I would grade it a bit higher than AG, personally. Looks at least G4 to me, maybe G6 on a good day. Click here to see the PCGS...

I remember reading some of your old photo tutorials back in the day, and enjoyed them. Can't say as how I've absorbed much of the knowledge too...
Just FYI, to those who might be interested, there is a nice example of that type for sale here. It is not quite as high grade as mine, but I like...
Whoa, that escudo is a stunner!
Well, since you mentioned black Labs, here is old Max. (All pix from circa 2011.) [IMG] Here is a coin I had sold, which was on the desk...
[IMG] That coin must have come from @Mat, since it has his name across the bottom! :P Incredible design.
Revolutions and insurrections certainly make for interesting coins. One of the coins I just sold is a prime example of that. I'd rather collect...
I'm pleased to report that @spirityoda is on board yet again for the June giveaway, and will be giving away a nice slabbed coin again (and it's...
A little closer to your question: For the January giveaway these last two years, I've wanted to give away a coin with the new year's date on it....
