Kind of the opposite actually - this is too random to happen intentionally. An employee-made error is going to be something fantastic, and...
Yes, I do.
It's a Sidi Mohammad Benduqi from AH 1277 (Morocco). Very, very rare, probably 5 known. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm into prooflike coinage, and there's a decent bit of good material from the 1816 to 1823 range.
Very impressive! That is a gorgeous piece. I don't have any gold, but I do have some Guatemalan silver.
So you did. I wasn't looking for text below the images ;)
The hole goes *right* through the date. That's a killer for me (well, the hole itself is killer for me - but you really, really don't want it...

Hey y'all! I'm always interested in hearing what advice you wish you had known when you started collecting. What do wish someone had told you as...

Wow, davey, that coin cabinet is great! I'll bet when it is finished it will be beautiful!
It depends on the auction house, of course, but sometimes the estimate comes from a price catalogue. Printed catalogues are often woefully...
Sorry to be contrarian, @Insider, but I've definitely heard the term used both ways. I realize that the "orange peel" effect on proof gold is...
Wow. That's sick. I don't think I'd release it, but I certainly wouldn't want it to be a part of my collection. Maybe turn it in to the FBI?...
I have hopes that I can complete sets that I'm working on - that's the whole point. However, when I finish that set, then I can upgrade it. Or I...
I don't think its ancient. You might get more responses in the World coins section? Whatever it is, it appears to be heavily clipped - you're...
