100% cast fake. Soft details and tons of casting bubbles.
Titus and Vespasian look very much alike, and for good reason. ;) Sometimes, reading the legends on the coin is the only way I can distinguish them.
I agree that it's way too big for 2 Morgans. It would look awesome with 4 Morgans, but I don't even see why you'd want to slab more than one of...
Cool. I voted #4, but #1 wouldn't have even been my second choice. I would have chosen #2 over #1. Do all varieties of RIC 21c look like...
I can confirm what @medoraman says about ancients. I've been seeing a lot of auctions where stuff is going for way above estimate lately. I...
I thought the same thing about the ear at first and suspected some tooling going on. After googling and looking at some more images of this type,...
I'm surprised at 66. The strike seems a little mushy for such a grade. I would have said 64RB, but I expected them to detail it for AT. Cool coin. :)
Great find! Show the reverse. :) I like every year they weren't full of zinc inside. 1909 is great because it was the first year.
There's also this one, but it's considered a pattern.
Nice coins everyone! I'm holding out for one of those monster 90+ gram octobols, myself. :)

If you ask me, pretty much every mint in the world is overpriced and over saturating the market.
Mine has similar accuracy, 5x the weight limit, and is only twice as much (shipping included).
I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012IJCI1Y It costs around $30. It has a 50g weight limit, accurate to .001g, and comes with...
I thought there were 13 emperors in the Trajan Decius restoration series? Am I misremembering?
You could self-"slab" with some Coin World holders or the like.
Wish I had the "love" button for these... I've been looking for coins like these for my type set. :)
The 2 is definitely neat, but I'm curious if it's common to make these tokens with one side blank. I suppose it makes them easier to grade, if...
I would rather have 20 coins worth $1000 apiece, or 40 worth $500 apiece. I wouldn't know what to do with a $20k coin, and with 1000 $20 coins...
I think both the coins pictured are very nice. Given that I can afford either, and both are otherwise equally attractive, I will choose a...
Separate names with a comma.
