I was suggesting that if the purchase had been for coins other than bullion, it would have required more than just knowing the spot price of gold...
I'll try asking agian, in case you know the answer: Your comment makes it sound as if he bought gold bullion that had little or no numismatic...
Your comment makes it sound as if he bought gold bullion that had little or no numismatic value, and that it would have been extremely easy to...
I agree. But, while I don't excuse that, of course, the buyer should have known, as well.
Sometimes (even if not often), sellers of such coins are not aweare that they are selling counterfeits. Edited for spelling.
If the seller can be located, the buyer should demand a refund. And if he couldn't tell those items were counterfeits, he shouldn't be buying coins.
Yes, that Isabella is a counterfeit. The lack of detail is a dead giveaway, as is the reeding. If you are in a position to so so, you should...
Well, I see that my expectation of a wide range of estimated values quickly came to fruition.;)
If the images are accurate, I'd probably figure it at about $250. That said, I'd also expect a wide range of estimated values. ;)
The confusion probably stems from the fact that once a coin grades below 60, descriptors such as AU, XF and VF are typically used. But in the case...

Coincidentally, I will be viewing the Heritage auction tomorrow and Wednesday in Dallas. If you think you might find any value in my sight-seen...
Thanks Doug - I was unaware that so many of them were worn.
Often, one can't obtain a meaningful opinion on a coin (for purposes of whether it deserves a significant premium) based on images. I am all for...
Doug, how many of the coins are "artificially worn"? Certainly nowhere close to all of them.
You apparently felt insulted by my comments, and I felt insulted by yours. So I replied, just as you did. Now, after complaining that I responded,...
You might not like what I wrote, and you are, of course, free to disagree with me, but I wasn't being a "wiseguy". I gave an honest reply to...
I don't think that "scam" or "swindle" is necessarily fair or accurate. Often times, coins were made for collectors who wanted to buy them and had...
At least two different Proof sets containing 1804 Dollars were commissione - one for the King of Siam and the other for the Sultan of Muscat and Oman.
Yes, $45,000 is likely too much to bid for it. And if you had to ask, you shouldn't bid on it. Though not CAC certified, the last two PCGS AU53...
