The holder doesn't look right to me. Fake Slab ?
Only a couple of trial coins have been struck. It's primarily used in coating silver coins and jewelry. Rhodium is highly resistant to corrosion...
I do quite well searching halves. It's definatly worth it, in my opinion. ;)
*golf clap*
Being "Big Time" sellers like that, you'd think they could provide nicer pictures. :D
I have to agree with this. Rim ding and too many hits on the obverse. The reverse is fantastic though. :)
Rhodium could be a good buy, or stock in the aerospace industry. There are a lot of space related projects slated, so the demand should go up...
That is one fine looking set-up. Nice work Greyfang ! ;)
It looks really dull to me. The "cleaning" on the reverse could be manipulation to age the coin. The outer marks on the rim of the coin make me...
Very nice ! Thank you, Clinker. :) It is interesting timing, too. I just found a 2001 Balboa in my change from a vending machine, last week. :D
Thanks ! I'm thinking that people are starting to become informed about the Fractionals, realizing the vast varieties and their rarity.
You're right. It's at least 60 feet tall.
Nice job. Now, go buy a camera and get some pics up ! :D
Kudos to you for stepping up to the plate and trying to make things right. It shows a lot of character that you would come to our forum and post....
LOL My back yard is filled with black walnuts. They're not 205 years old though. :D
They seemed to be very nice. I got the impression that they may have been elderly. I don't think there was any malicious intent and it isn't...
Paint and varnish stripper ? LOL It would be nice to know, wouldn't it ?
Another way is to boil old walnuts in water, down to a somewhat thicker consistancy and then soak the coin in it. That is the way they used to...
It looks like he's put his fingerprints on darn near every coin, too. :D
I'd say this is my philosophy as well. ;)
