Needs more than 3 coins on it :P, but, yeah, this seems to more or less cover it. Maybe you could include prices realized for when/if you sell,...
It's considered a little gauche to ask directly about such things, but you might be able to check prices realized from the auction house itself.
I think XRF can be fooled by a thick plating layer.
Did you get all 18 coins back? I'm paranoid about carrying 1/4 or 1/10 as much in coins around!
Tell them not to call you again.
I'm in the "loath" camp, too, but at least he doesn't sell fakes. I've seen a few misattributed but nothing that looked outright fake.
That's definitely one thing modern gold has going for it. It's very hard to lose relative to the price of the metal itself. I think when I get...
The missing F is actually a cool "struck through grease" error. It does not devalue the coin at all. You paid basically fair retail for a VF-25...
Aha. I see the mistake I made. I searched for '1902 S morgan silver dollar' and ended up on NGC's page for 1902, not 1902-S. Their guide price...
Interestingly enough, NGC's price guide has it at $40, but their auction listings show a couple at $130+, and only a couple of details coins that...
I don't care for special labels, for the most part, unless they're individually signed and numbered. The one exception is the PCGS flag labels for...
I don't think anybody can argue that his overstrikes are of excellent quality. I'm very pleased with mine, and have been impressed with every one...
It's certainly wild. I don't see how it can be authentic, since a second strike strong enough to leave a clear elephant and priestly implements...
Are all those things pictured in post #1 coins? I recognize cash coins and knife money, but some of those things I'm not familiar with.
That's true, but that's why they have their "Neutral Point of View" policy. They do reasonably well on that front. A hypothetical Wikipedia...
I love the toning on your coin, @Sallent! Great centering, too... I like how the ethnic is totally readable. I've had a Larissa/horse coin on my...
There have been several studies that show Wikipedia is reasonably accurate in terms of what it includes. Its main problems like in the area of...
Does not look natural to me. I don't know if PCGS/NGC/ANACS would consider it market acceptable or not.
That's right. I've personally seen MS coins that are ~200 years old, and pictures of even older ones.
Yeah, I'd rather spend less than $1 on an air-tite than $10+, plus shipping.
