LOL...well, I have an "urban face" that I don't wear to coin shows, where I try to put people at ease--not scare them. :D It would definitely be...
Here's detail on a coin I got at this weekend's show, showing the date in two lighting angles. The protruding corner of the 7 is obvious, with the...
Arizona Jack, Thanks! :D Well, I try I guess. Sorry about your theft--looks like you were targeted for easy to sell coins. I'm also worried this...
Lehigh96, Thanks...I usually have "ice in my veins", but this situation warmed me up a little bit. :D Rlm, yes--I know where you are coming from....
Rlm, Right--I read that, and I was at the show discussing it with dealers. I seem to recall someone was actually observed stealing. That's a tad...
Could anyone describe the commotion at today's coin show in Santa Clara? Upon entering the hall, I saw police but really didn't get the full story...
I imagine it's hard, because dealers are often alone to a table and must fend for themselves, vs. security at a retail establishment--most...
I'm glad you got resolution to the theft, which I suppose is the most important thing after all. I happened to be by your table today, and...
Nice shot Coop! That's one of my favorites as well...one of the most dramatic re-hubbings of a modern US coin, plus that RPM thrown in too....
Wow...that's an incredible find from circ! :yawn:
Wow, nice find--congrats! :thumb:
Oh well...if it were a clash, I'd expect it to show up elsewhere. Not a usual spot for a break, so perhaps some blunder to the die? An...
As one opinion, I've seen a lot of 19C. copper/bronze coins discolor this way. Sometimes when large areas are discolored, it suggests there was...
As for me, I live in the US but collect mostly world coins...so I didn't get the "darkside" thing until someone explained it to me. I still find...
Nice overlay! :thumb: As tpsadler notes, the overlay doesn't predict a die clash in this area. IHC die clashes are common on the obverse, and...
If that area of the obverse relates to the weak denticles and raised line on the reverse at 11-4:00, then perhaps the dies clashed in that area?...
I checked out the CFDL too--that's very helpful! Thanks for referring it! :thumb: I guess there's something to be said for working from "gut...
Now I see that. Hmm...do you suppose their description is a tad confusing? Ok, I take back what I said before. :( I'm not an expert on ancients,...
That looks like a Federalist eagle to me--not a very Canadian symbol? Interesting with the eagle on one side, and Britannia on the other...since...
Another thought--since they claim their coins are authenticated by David R. Sear, you might shoot him an email to verify this seller actually does...
