I wonder what the bluish-silver in the center of the red blemish is and is caused by. If the coin was supposed to be .9999, what impurity is this?...
Do you guys see what I do though? Look on his face. It looks like a core is showing through the gold. In a couple of other places as well....
Yeah, but your double eagle had copper in the alloy, that can happen. The OP coin is supposed to be .999 pure gold, so there should never be...
Thanks for the link Bill. I was about to ask you what the latest thinking of Antinous tokens was. :) I have quite a number now, picking them up as...
Excellent post as always sir. If I were a US collector nowadays I am sure I would be a EAC member. It is closest to ancient collecting in terms of...
Big IF that you would actually get market price for it sir. Do you want to commit your $500 coins to Ebay auctions today and hope you will get...
But think that through. You mention silver's old high, but said at that price gold "should" be $3000. Was gold $3000 when silver $50 last time?...

Fraud. Look at the hole. Its not worn like the coin. So the seller is having us believe a rare coin like that, (forget the date, any SL silver...
Ah, so you had the good taste on that one. I was an under bidder for a while. :) I have a few of his, and don't specialize in him, so was unaware...
I second that SS is essential if you like this series. I haven't collected them for a few years. I have around 40 different types. What I like...
I have NEVER understood this sales pitch. "Hi, I know exactly how you can make a ton of money. Its guaranteed, there is no way you can lose, just...
If you are happy with it man. I can honestly say tens of thousands of investors have lost money paying cash up front, and physical delivery later....
Um, I doubt it personally but no need to laugh at an idea. Who called palladium to $2500 or rhodium to $6000? Lots of scenarios where silver...
