How about 100 and 300 year old coins? I don't have an 1823 in anything so the 200 slot is open.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
MS-66 with a Green Bean. Very nice coin. It has a few tiny nicks but in today's grading environment, I think it got a solid 66 from the TPG and...
In an ideal world, my preference is for home invaders to never appear but you present a false choice. If home invaders break down your door, they...
Guns are cleaned with chemicals that leave a residue on the metal surfaces. Then the guns are lubricated. Guns are often stored with their...
1881 was the only calendar year when three different presidents held office: Rutherford B. Hayes finished his term on March 4th, succeeded by...
Definitely a cold pour. So, some questions pointing to things to look at: 1) How are you measuring temperature? The melt temperature...

I don't know. I suppose if I had been the original submitter and they'd erred, they would fix it for "free" although I suspect I'd have to pay...
Another perfect example of why you should not believe the attribution supplied by a TPG. I won this 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime from crummy photos...
I saw that dealer. He was offering small bags, maybe 15 or 20 coins, of bronze Romans for about $15 IIRC. Had lots of other cheap ancients....

But you're darn close and your average set grade is also pretty darn high. Go see his PCGS Registry Set if you want to be impressed. And BTW, it...
A very nice coin. In case you're interested this is the LM-2 die marriage, Obverse 2 and Reverse W. Rarity 1. Key diagnostics: Obverse: S8...
I voted 65, 6FS. The carbon spots knocked it down, I think. Nice color to the coin.
Yes, I agree NGC was pretty generous with the grading of the John McCloskey coins. I won a number of JM coins in that auction and no one would...

Time for the reveal. The plurality of you at 31.6% guessed the right grade at AU-53 and four of you (21.1%) got it right on the CAC bean. Pretty...
Well, hit a wrong button so here's the photos! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Care to play on this little mite? I suspect we might get some spirited opinions on this one. I've set up the poll to allow multiple answers.
I cannot make any definitive judgement unless you can tell me that the parallel lines are raised above the fields. That said, I think you have...
