Wow. Wow! WOW!! I suspect the coin is more lustrous than these photos let on. Absolutely no distracting marks, and very few marks at all....
I would also have said 63, but I was unsure about PL. Your last set of photos looks like maybe it just missed PL. I’m not sure if they were giving...
I always thought Vespasian had some of the best “grumpy old man” portraits on Roman coinage, but I guess that’s just me.
Both of those 1961-D’s are really cool. I especially like how far off center the first one is. If it was too much more off center, you’d lose the...
Long Beach is very, very US centric. Even for modern coins, there is a rather limited selection of non-US dealers.
What do you mean? The spots? Those are just surface blemishes. They do reduce the desirability of the coin, so I would look for ones that don't...
Hmm... this has gotten pretty far off topic, IMO. Back to coins.... I'm not sure storing that information in the same place as the actual coins...
Are we sure the supposed "scratch" is actually a scratch? Photos of PL and DMPL coins can be very misleading in that respect.
64 PL. Maybe DMPL, but that’s crazy hard to tell from a single, static photo.
Yep, turns out Art Nouveau wasn’t all that nouveau after all.
Lol, I left out the grade. $1500 was for G4! It’s $125k for MS66. Totally agree on late shield nickel and 3CN proofs. The same applies to earlier...
Sure? Which makes them no different from any other tangible asset you can’t or don’t rent out, or any purely financial asset that doesn’t pay...
How did I know this was going to be a late 1800's nickel? Right up to the link about the "island" reverse, I would have said business strike,...
Name and shame, man.
Both fake IMO. I really question why anyone would fake coins like that though. Seems like the risk and effort vs reward wouldn't be worth it....
I like everything about this coin, except that, as a type, the SC on the reverse shield wears off far too quickly!
I think that's actually the D/invisible D RPM.
Lol, bad form responding to my own post, but theta is actually the 9th letter of the Greek alphabet. :P That should mean my coin was struck in...
I think both the grade and the FS designation are generous at best. I voted bacon.
Let’s just say I won’t be buying this for my commemorative set... but not because I don’t want it. ;)
