I always tell my roommate... If I die, my coin collection will pay off my mortgage and you can keep the house. Pretty sure that wouldn't be true...
For me, I don't see a problem with the toning on coin 2. It looks like album toning, and I like it. For me, coin 1 is blatantly overgraded by 2...
Been a lot going on so I've been less active recently, but I'll answer a summons. I'm going to go 63PL. Obverse might be borderline DPL, but...
I definitely won't argue that - #1 is clearly better struck than #2. I'm just not sure I'd call it "hammered." This is where your specialized...
NGC grades a lot of coins that I think are horribly ugly and wouldn't buy. That doesn't mean they are right or wrong. It means they consider them...
Yeah, I saw this thread when you posted it. I decided to go with the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything" approach on...
You describe the first coin as having a hammered strike, but it doesn't look that hammered to me. It might have great luster, but those are some...
Who? Me? Prooflikes? What? The other seller you link, @ddddd d , is a well-known dealer in prooflike coins and a friend of mine. It is his...
Uh... I don't use the CPG. I find its numbering system frustrating (I honestly don't know which is worse, the old numbering system or the new one...
Nah, bruh. I have an Ebay watchlist set up with any permutation of prooflike I can think of, and it alerts me to any new sales using these key...
Ebay has made it clear which coin Lehigh likes more!
Yup, I agree with your FR-02 grade. Looks like a nice, wholesome piece. Even in this low grade, these are still in high demand.
Gotta admit, I'm not terribly familiar with Buffernickel varieties - but that 35 DDR is killer. And, what's a "5-legged" buffalo. First time...
It's more likely that this is some sort of "bankers mark." Basically, if there's an unusual coin and the "banker" (or shopkeeper, or whoever)...
Randy, it really depends on what year you're talking about. There was a *lot* of technology change throughout the run of Seated coins. If you're...
While the semi-pl one appears to be a lower grade, I'm a sucker for that finish. And the strike is clearly better. In my opinion, Coin #2,...
I believe he's talking about the top set in each category. For example, Moroccan Type set, which I've won for many years now:...
I really hope that they have some seminars live-streamed. And, I'll be virtually attending the auction. But I will not be attending in person...
So, many of you probably have coins depicting Silphium. It's one of the great mysteries of the ancient world. Many of you may know the history of...
So which one of you won it? Did it go to Tyrant? Because that's where it belongs!
