I'm no expert, but this - It's pretty simple, all ya gotta do is look at them to see that they obviously came from the same die. But the price...
I knew what you meant Jason, and my point was not to argue at all, but merely to present accurate information for others who are not aware - and...
It's a recurring theme, just not one that happens all that often, but often enough to matter, particularly to those who own the scarcities. I once...
Not at all strange. First off, and I've posted about this many times, when knowledgeable people are doing the bidding it's extremely common for...
I haven't seen anybody post any of these so I figured I would. First up, the 1/2 ecu, one from 1649 (MS63) and one from 1650 (MS64). [ATTACH]...
No, they're not - they are exactly the same thing. Conserving is nothing more than a euphemism for cleaning. But the two words mean exactly the...
You DID NOT do anything wrong Ronald. CoinTalk allows members to upload zip files - we always have. But here's the thing, as desertgem explained,...
Yeah, you're correct, what he illustrates is the same method I've always seen drawn and described. My mistake was in not correctly recognizing the...
No, they used an edge die. I have. I no longer own my copy, but if memory serves correctly, Gilboy was one of the books that said it was done...
I don't know of another way to explain it beyond what physics-fan said, and I said. Cast coins simply have a completely different look from salt...
Just commenting here, but everything I've ever read says the exact opposite, that the edge was imparted to the coin (rolled on) after it was struck.
If that's true Thad then please me how it is they pick up everything else that's in layers just as thin, or even found only in isolated spots as...
While it's true that salt water damaged coins have a look that is similar, it is a look that is different than that of this coin. And most who are...
And countless others, who have used it, have also had their coins straight graded as well. But here's the thing. The ONLY coins that are ever,...
I'd definitely send it in as it just looks a bit "off" to me. I collected these a bit and with a good deal of effort I could usually attribute...
And I suppose I should have added that the Russian counterfeits were made to spec. They were the right size, weight, and fineness in every case....
There is one more mint mark, a P with an A above it, but it's very unlikely anyone will ever have need of knowing that. Ya see, the mint of Panama...
Apparently I'm missing something. I mean, I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say by quoting Jim's post. About the only thing I can think of...
I guess I don't really understand your question Cheech - what do you mean, who would allow it ? As I said in my post above, ALL the TPGs allow it....
@physics-fan3.14 Whatever caused it, the poll is not there. I'd suggest you simply start another thread and I'll get rid of this one. That would...
Separate names with a comma.
