Dealers I buy from tell me commems are selling well. One dealer has sold 2 Hawaiians in the past 6 months.
I don't think that's a casting seam. I don't see the typical softness on the devices of a cast coin, and I don't see casting bubbles. Some spots...
Yeah, not a good idea. The symbol has been co-opted much like St. Peter's Cross has. I don't think you'll see a swastika publicly displayed in...
Have they ever not chosen what the CCAC picked? Serious question, because I literally don't know. I agree. I would have bought the facing...
Which series do you feel have taken a hit in the past couple years? I don't have my finger on the pulse of the market because what I buy is...
Amazing coin. Me either. Certainly not one so dramatic as to be able to read the legends on the opposite side of the coin!
This is all 100% untrue. I could hoist a Nazi flag outside my house and the most that would happen is my neighbors might be angry and people may...
I would say it certainly *looks* like a swastika. Whether it was intended to be or not 2500 years ago likely depends on whether the symbol was in...
These were exactly my thoughts as well. Literally, I thought: that looks vaguely like Hadrian, but what a rather lifeless portrait. Then I noted...
Put some pocket change on the bathroom windowsill for a couple months and you'll see it sooner. :p
I haven't been lucky enough to come across anything so rare just yet. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much when I saw that Minerva reverse,...
Ok, I can see that now that you pointed it out as unusual. Any chance it could be barbarous? The style of the devices seems too good for that,...
Surface oxidation/environmental damage. This coin might have seen some time outside.
You aren't going to get a large portion of the people on here interested in anything minted after 1964, or 1933.
What looks wrong to you about the lettering?
Most people who CRH are after silver. Halves are probably your best bet there.
It's ok, but not exactly the best thing to be seeing. You really want some kind of intact patina evenly over the whole coin.
Well, considering how far Ikes have come in the past 20 years, a mere 2 year downturn doesn't seem too bad to me. Nice pieces (66 or better,...
Looks good to me.
I'm in!
