Glad you like it. I like it whenever a collector finds a coin he likes. Only comment is to be careful with premium percentages on larger coins....
I would agree melt is a very good offer. This is only possible since the premiums of all silver are sky high right now. In the past, you would...
Proofs will tone weird like this. If it were a business strike I would run away, but proofs can look like this, or all blue, etc.
Good to know about 60;s and toning on Franklins TBH. I have rolls of them from the early 60's toned. Maybe someday I will dig them out. Seems like...
Definitely a proof. I would think 67 range, but I do not collect higher grades so not good at the differences up there.
I am with others. One, 50's and 60's coin seem to tone funny, with things looking like scratch marks simply being weird toning "lines". I cannot...
Not too much of a surprise. Everyone was wondering what to do, people selling pm to raise cash, etc. Look back at the last crisis, it did not move...
Lol. My father in law just sold his 14 baht necklace to cash in on the gold price. 14 baht is just shy of 7 ounces. Put that on a tiny man and it...
Come on now OP. Seller lists item as "flying eagle dollar coin", does not accept returns, lists he is from Fairbanks Alaska, (I am sure good...
No, not what I see. My sister in law does not have much money, but whatever she has she has it in gold too, and that has been purchased in the...
I would disagree with the supposition that gold is underowned by those in the Far East, India, Middle East, etc. Everyone I know with family there...
Looks like the dagger type to me if I had to guess.
Very scarce little coin. A friend from my coin club is literally THE world expert on Thasos coinage and has the largest collection in the world of...
No problem sir. This is why we come here. As long as new members ask honest questions, and will listen to our answers, we love helping out new...
More than a bit. That is only 2/3rd the intended weight. Its a pot metal counterfeit. You can go to any Asian flea market and find them today,...
Weigh it. Should be telling. If I saw this coin I would assume its false unless I could be proven otherwise. If you gave me a weight too light for...
No chance at all. Setting yourself up to be ripped off with arbitrage takers at times. One thing most people do not remember. For most of our...
I am leery. I usually concentrate on the globe map, and not a fan of this one at all. Looks cast/very porous. Any chance its sea salvage? Btw,...
Did my part. Emptied the change jar for $340 the other day. I do have a few bags of cents if they want me to turn those in. The bags of wheats and...
Whatever they declare the oldest I have a copy of. Right now I am pretty sure its the striated Lydian electrum pieces, but I have the first...
