I am good with the grade also. There is no wear on the talons, and for the most part, an XF CBH shows a bit more wear on the wings. Of course...
Well, You had me on the first paragraph, and I am going with the TPG for the exact reasons you and Doug said. Mike
Very nice, The coin has a very good strike. I would put it around AU 50. Also, Green 18 is correct, it is an O-101. The fore curl is just about...
Doug, You are one stubborn man ( I like that :), It keeps things interesting). First, if you read my posts I never called them Die Polish marks,...
I would think that the '14 d is a cast counterfeit. Mike
Doug, The fact is none of that explains why there are no hairlines on the devices. As was already mentioned, some of the hairlines stop at the...
Doug, I have no idea, comparing silver and gold is like comparing apples to oranges. I have no buillion coins and no experience grading them, and...
Rzage, Not only does the reverse match for an 1806 109a, but I think the obverse is a match too, except for the date of course. Notice how the...
There is a lot of talk on the weight being correct on this coin, but it is not. At 13.49 it is actually quite heavy. With that much "apparent"...

Yes, the Ebay replica section has a lot, and when you get them they will not have the copy or replica stamp on them. You can get the cast ones for...
Just because some folks opinions differ, doesn't make anyone a grump. The OP asked for opinions, and that was what was given in a very civilized...
Hi Chris, Yes, I do believe the price of the 95W will crash. I think there were around 30k of those buggers minted and they are trading for...
My guess would be around $200. Sorry to be such a downer, but I really don't agree with most of this board about silver "guaranteed" to go up....
Well, the crack out game has caused an interesting and troublesome issue. Since many hundreds of dollars and sometimes thousands of dollars can be...
It depends how far you want to take it, but I would at least contact the seller and ask for a return. The item is nowhere close to "as described"...
Well, I am on the other side of the fence on this one. The coin is worth melt now and it will be worth melt after a cleaning, so there is no...
A big +1 to that. If we really did know the answers to these questions we would all be driving around smokin' big cigars with pretty girls on our...
