Not sure what you're seeing, but it looks like a regular 1936 Buff nickel to me...and not even a nice one at that. :confused:
The ANA? Huh? A PCGS graded ANA-released Kennedy gold was the one that sold for a supposed $100,000...where is NGC in that story? You need to...
@jwitten the prongs aren't the coin. You seriously would pass on a coin you really wanted because of some silly anomaly in the plastic of the...
After a 3.5 year search, I finally purchased a Caballito with a full strike. I'm not sure what NGC thinks holds this coin back to MS62, but I...
I agree with this sentiment. When I purchase something on eBay (even if it was a snipe at an odd hour of the day), I have never paid more than 8...
Ok...and I believe this is my last Portugal coin... [IMG]
Not a coin, but a nice medal I purchased from a dealer in Portugal: [IMG]
You paid someone $350 for 43 ounces of silver? When are you going to pay them the other half?
Here's my small collection of St. George tokens... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here's my earliest dated coin... [IMG]
Considering you don't even know the difference between the words "then" and "than," I am going to refrain from taking your "sage" advice. Best of...
Looks gem to me. I'd say MS65, shot 66 if you were planning to send to NGC. The detail is phenomenal, I don't see any tic marks or abbrasions...
@saltysam-1 you are a wise, wise man!! I couldn't have said it better myself!
Oh my goodness, this statement is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start. There is nothing special about uber-expensive coins....
I think you only called it a "fake" -- which is completely correct. No worries, I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I was more trying to be precise....
Wowzers...yeah, that 3 pence has seen better days. Melt is $0.71, I'd guess that's about its max. :)
For the record, it is likely not a counterfeit -- it is a forgery. Yes, there is a difference, and yes something can be both things....
Hi Bruce, "Broadstruck" (another exonumia guy on a couple other forums) felt similarly on the S&H token. He quoted the obverse as R-4 and the...
Two new pieces of exonumia. The first is a pretty difficult merchant token to hunt down...the Indian bust obverse has just stunning detail, and...
Nope, Stef, no signs of double strike on mine. I did notice that on yours in your NGC set. We have 2 of the 24, I wonder where the rest are. ;)
