I agree with some of the items on your list. The question is, what is here to stay and what is eventually going to go the way of Beanie Babies?...
What country minted them? Are they tokens or actual legal tender coins?
That’s another personal favorite but, like MS Barbers, not something I can afford on any frequent basis.
This. Most surviving Barbers are in the AG/G and below range and are butt ugly. But at least for me, the higher grade ones are some of the most...
That’s not even a very nice MS64. The toning looks like it might have turned in the holder. I see that on a lot of rattler coins. I suspect a...
Thanks! The edge is covered by the patina all the way around.
I just picked up this Trajan as. The contrast really appeals to me and it seems to be in a good state of preservation. I realize that “desert”...
65?
That coin has some pristine surfaces that even a lot of MS examples don’t have. Definitely a keeper!
I have always been impressed by the quality of Royal Mint coinage from the 19th century and earlier. It seems they were always at the cutting edge.
I just had a very negative experience using EBay’s global shipping service (Asendia). I sold a coin via auction to a buyer in Kazakhstan and...
I’m guessing it would have depended not on the firm, but whether they were buying (at 60) or selling (at 65)…
There are definitely a lot of variables in auctions and probably more opportunities for flipping than a lot of us realize. I also think Great...
The 1812 cent has a lot of corrosion, so I’m not surprised by what it sold for. Straight grades are not very common in that series and the CDN bid...
That’s a nice looking set! I especially like the bust half, and the pillar dollar and trade dollar are also quite a sight!
I would think that a state quarter designed by Dan Car with a counterstamp he made on his equipment should carry a premium. I would much rather...
I picked up this straight graded 1903 peso in the same auction, $126.50 all in. It seems like a decent price considering that the full...
This post piqued my curiosity, so I found a page on Numista showing the coins Turkmenistan has issued over the years. The ones from the...
I’m thinking 67.
63 and $500. The luster really comes through the toning. It seems the marks may normally keep it below 63 but I’m guessing it got a bump for eye...
Separate names with a comma.
