I don’t like it: bad style, pitted surfaces, mushy details. I believe it’s fake.
Wow, great coins and great info, everyone! Mine isn’t quite as well preserved as @Nvb’s, but I like it: [ATTACH] I think the numeral is theta...
AT and mad ugly.
Thanks! There are a few that are going to present a challenge. I got lucky with my USSR set, as they’re crazy hard to find. Some I’m not sure if...
Hard to say if I’ll be there. I’d like to go, but I don’t have a lot of buying capacity right this second. :/ Speaking of dealers, has anyone...
If you’d bought a ton of Owls a decade ago, you might not be very happy today, given that 100,000 of them were recently dug up. ;) And you saw how...
I think we have to agree to disagree until you can put the OP coin in front of me. Having not bought an MS66 coin from Heritage, I'm kind of...
I agree with most of what you said, but I still think this coin is rightly a 66. Every single contact mark is, as you put it "hidden," and well...
Do NGC/PCGS/ANACS/ICG slab Commonwealth coins reverse out by default, then?
Interesting. It only seems to have one level of F, VF, and XF, as well. Does it even have AU? How many levels of MS? I wonder when things like...
Nah, I wouldn't read this book for the "articles," if you get what I mean. ;)
I love this idea! I have too many things going right now, but I do have traceable ancestors on one side going back to the mid 1600s in America....
Yep, the golf metaphor book. Nice coins, pretty good book, so so advice.
I know I’m cutting my bids by 10% when eBay starts invoicing for CA sales tax. I hope they at least take into account that coins and bullion over...
Great set! Do you have the Classic Head gold coins as well? They’re pretty affordable in lightly circulated condition, and they’re much rarer than...
Bingo. I like knowing that at any given time, I can sell a portion of my collection and get anywhere from 50-90% of what I paid originally. +1....
Looks like I’m in the majority with 66. IMO, the grade is the least interesting thing about this coin though... look at those crazy clash marks!
It really depends on where you're located. I'm from Michigan, and we'd accept Canadian coins without a problem. We didn't have enough in...
I'm inclined to believe Gerry Fortin over everyone else in this thread, including me. ;) I thought it was fake because of the missing C, weird...
I've seen replicas sell for $20 to $100 or more, depending on who made them, what they're made of (silver or not), and how high quality they are....
