You mean the one in South San Francisco this weekend? Did you go yesterday and see Musa Numismatic Art? Glenn has a lot of nice coins at fair...
Oh, wow... now that it's priced at only $40K, I'm just going to run right out and buy it. :P As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if it's...
For some coins, AU is high grade. :) But, yeah, mostly misused. My favorite is "better coin," from a certain dealer on eBay who seemingly things...
Great OP coin, @Roman Collector! Did that come from this weekend's Roma auction? I considered bidding on it, but decided to quit while I was...
Great story and a beautiful coin. I, too, would have believed it was Constantine I by the portrait.
Trade dollars are commonly faked, yes. Another is Indian quarter eagles (particularly the 1911-D weak D), and any key date coins, particularly...
Nice coin, and correctly graded at F12, IMO. :) Well, if a coin dated 1896 makes you feel like that, try an ancient coin on for size. ;)
I think he missed on this one. Assuming he didn't, my only other guess would be that it's a scanner pic, which is just plain lazy, and about the...
Very interesting. Where can authentic, ancient cowry shells be bought, and how are they authenticated? I mostly collect coins (the roundish,...
Very few holders other than a reputable slab or OGP add any value to any coin. Off the top of my head, I could see paying some money for a...
I like pretty much all coin photos. :)
Hmm, yeah. It's usually $2/roll, which is 40 coins, though, not 20. Weird.
Pretty much face value unless there are some error, variety, or high grade pieces hiding in there.
I think you need to learn a bit more about coins and Lincoln cents in general before going after an S-VDB. I can't tell if the first one is...
Maybe that's the 'bonus' advertised in the title?
I'm getting a little worried about my registration at Roma. Signed up a couple days ago and still haven't seen the approval email. :(
Well, yeah, but "AU details, cleaned" doesn't have the same ring to it, you see. ;)
I'm not going to speak to the investment aspect of this, but I will say that if you're not picky on the date, you can get an MS65 RD IHC for well...
Right. And the US Mint didn't produce coins for foreign countries up until the early 80's, either. Both the largest and smallest diameter coins...
My guess is it's a medieval French coin of some sort. You might do better in the Ancients forum getting a more specific ID on it.
