Yeah, the whole idea loses me really versus what I do. I do not want to limit my hobby by an artificial constraint, and I do not sell coins. If I...
Of course. Anyone can collect anything they want. I guess I was reacting to the idea of a "comprehensive collection representing ancient coinage"....
Agree. I saw the face and wheat first off myself, then all of the other errors the further I looked.
Mine was the prettiest coin I had ever seen up until then, (a green patina'ed, Larissa 3/4 facing bust bronze) and a crappy Parthian silver piece....
If I ever wanted to do a Box of 20, (I don't, see my post on "Parameters of your collection"), I would make sure its not so Euro centric. To me,...
- What metrics do you choose to add coins? I add coins that I find interesting. No other reason. The interest could be a myriad of reasons,...
Not an expert on these, but looks like a pot metal fantasy piece. I see tons of non-magnetic pot metal Chinese and Trade dollars at the asian markets.
Yes, I posted that link a few days ago. People posting on Alibaba are taking a risk, so please understand there are more vendors than just this...
There are some restrictions coming into the US, but thinly enforced. Most packages coming from UK are not looked at I believe. Sicily and Cyprus...
I agree sir. There are certain areas of collecting I am forced to exclusively buy on Ebay. However, before I became knowledgable I made all kinds...
"If you know what you are doing" being the key to this sentence. I see people all day long bidding stupid money on stuff, most of the time...
Cheap copy of a coin originally struck under the Confederacy. I believe 4 or 5 originals, and some restrikes made a decade later or so. Yours is...
Why do you think that? The one from Alibaba looked good, and I have seen in hand other fakes made from coated tungsten. They looked like very good...
I have dealt with them. I tried to communicate with them a few days before the close asking if someone could send me another pic of the group lot....
Well, the counterfeit I posted was a tungsten core, and like Jeff posted is so close to gold sg as to not be differentiable. So that was your...
No, I have read your assertions that how "only a major mint" could replicate such things, (did this come from a RCM press release?). I am simply...
Btw: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/American-Eagle-24k-tungsten-coin-gold_60744472455.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.472.5e401f8e6IzW6W...
I have seen the radial lines and privy mark. WHY can only a large mint fake them? Mints have forever added technology to make it harder to fake,...
Maybe I am missing something. What makes radial lines and a privy mark completely unreproducable? If you say, "sure, they can try to reproduce...
...and the radial lines and privy are not counterfeitable? My point would be whatever coin design you put on a coin can be copied. For it to be...
Separate names with a comma.
