The bottom one looks like it has a shield on the left picture (obverse?). Shields and heraldry are usually not on Arabic coins.... but I have no...
It has the details of an AU coin, but I'm not seeing much luster here. I would want to see some traces of luster to call it AU. Is that a scratch...
I personally usually use "dentils," but the terms are essentially interchangeable.
Woah. While this coin may be very nice for the series (and yeah, I follow the series enough to know that this is a very nice piaster), on an...
Woof. I don't know who hit the contrast button on that picture, but that's what I'd call "juiced." Even the so-called TruView is a better picture...
I'm sorry, but I find that peso distinctly unattractive. I have a hard time calling it anything higher than a 2, and that's only because there...
Haha, that was a great story. I love those sorts of stories about the thrill of the hunt, the circumstances, the people, the show. That's the sort...
I'm not sure any of the people who've responded to this thread qualify as experts (I think they probably mean a profession/dealer/certifier.) You...
I think the angle of the lighting in the first shots over-emphasized some of the marks on the reverse. (To be fair, I'm guessing the PCGS "true...
Oops, missed the mintmark on the OPs. Pictures are too small! While I agree that there is a difference in the character of the luster, the OP's...
If you compare it to a real one, I don't think it looks right. I'd avoid it:...
Wow, super clean obverse and sharp, crisp strike for the date. No questions asked FBL at PCGS, probably not at NGC. Luster appears off the...
You're right. I wasn't thinking. I've removed my post.
Well, my favorite coin book for beginners is the one I wrote myself. And, I'll let someone else link it so I don't get in trouble. Or... you...
Ah, I'm considered one 'o those rich-folk enemies, so I didn't get one.
Its a heckuvalot easier to keep track of us when we use our cards..... hence the coin shortage, greeno. No goobering here.
Edited. I shouldn't have posted this.
The supply problem is because everyone is hoarding them. I can't figure out why, but I have suspicions: 1. They suspect coins might be...
Do you have another set of shots on that one? I'm torn between 4 and 5 - 4 if the luster is how it appears in these shots, 5 if the luster is...
I often make the same post on multiple forums. There are some people who attend more than one forum, but you get a wider audience overall.
