Great job! I’d soak it in acetone again, because there’s still some of that black stuff that was obviously crud that came off in the previous...
Started at 40, but I ended up at 35. Can I say 37.5? ;)
To be fair, the whole world is extremely dangerous if you’re that greedy and ignorant.
There are 4 known examples of this coin struck by the Confederacy, 500 restrikes from 1879, and a ton of Chinese fakes and replicas. There is no...
$960 is definitely a lowball, since that set sells for $1250 raw in OGP. I can't see what the dealer offering over $1700 is thinking, because...
That coin is fake. It looks like it came from the Shanghai mint, or, at best, it's an older replica, likely from the 1960s.
If you think it has PVC and dirt, then a soak in acetone is definitely worth a shot. If the black is oxidation, then it would need a dip to even...
I have bought details coins I thought would straight grade before. I'm fairly successful when it comes to QC/AT. The other reason I might buy a...
I think you mean Laura Gardin Fraser. :)
This thing is so dark, I can't even tell what you guys are saying are PVC spots. Are they the roundish, slightly darker blotches I see near, for...
There are several CT members who sell on eBay. Figure out who they are and message them on here so you can get a little discount by cutting out...
I think it is probably real, but very overpriced. I got my new style tetradrachm in much higher grade for $320. You can do better. Pretty much any...
Not sure I know what you mean.
I was actually referring to what you wrote about Classic Head large cents. :) I also have a few dual purpose coins. It's totally not cheating,...
Certified coins can only be listed as certified coins with numerical grades from ICG, ANACS, NGC, and PCGS. These companies all have online cert...
Close enough! It was the winning design submission for the Washington quarter! The reason it was not selected, I have read, is that Mellon...
Anybody want to take a guess what this is? ;) [ATTACH] Hint: It's about 10" in diameter, and made of plaster.
How would this work for a type set? Large date, small date, and an overdate variety? BTW, it's 'piqued,' not 'peaked.' :)
No, it looks super fake to me, but I’m not an expert on them. I think the style is completely off. They are heavily faked as well, for some...
Nice cherry pick! That first one you pictured looks like at least a CAM, provided the reverse is there and the light isn’t tricking me.
