My impression from these photos is that it is probably a PL original, however, I can't tell conclusively.
Here's a new pickup for my Hungarian Artex Restrikes collection. These were produced from original dies discovered by the Hungarian mint in the...
Here's a new acquisition. This 1896 copper medal was produced to celebrate the Hungarian Millennium (896-1896). [ATTACH]
I submitted a lacquered coin to NCS a couple years ago. They removed the lacquer successfully, and afterwards it straight graded, though the...
That is one general use of series in numismatics sure, but not the only one. That's my point. By your definition, the state quarters series isn't...
I collect series by type, by date/mint, and by variety, depending on the set. But I don't see how a type set isn't just a macro level series...
An interesting story. In the early 1960s the Hungarian Mint discovered a trove of older mint holdings in a vault, which included the dies that...
Artex, the Hungarian Export Company, produced special proof sets in conjunction with the Hungarian Mint in 1966 and 1967. About 5,000 proof sets...
I'd like to see how that turns out. So far, this seems the closest to what I'm looking to do. Do you have a link for how to order from him?
Thanks for the link. I've considered going that route, but I'd really rather be able to display them easier.
Another note. Over the last year I've bought a lot of NGC slabbed coins that were graded at their Munich office, and the attribution accuracy was...
I've ended up with a good number of 1oz silver rounds from various collectible series and I keep them in air-tites. I've grown tired of keeping...
My statement is from my personal experience. I'm a collector and vest pocket dealer. I submit and cross about 500 coins a year between PCGS and...
I have no idea why you would think that. The majority of PCGS world coins are overgraded. I've only seen their world service get worse, if...
There are tons of threads like this on these forums. There is no clear answer. The answer is that it depends on the series you collect....
Originals for the 1939 Horthy aren't particularly rare. The 1938 dated version is extremely rare, and the earlier 1930 type is very scarce in high...
Beautiful example. I've also found the 64s to be the sweet spot for both dates on price, and some are very nicely toned.
Kalman, my tips above are to help you to form your own opinions on these. Based on what I've said so far in this thread, I'd like to hear what...
Here are the results from a couple of my latest world NGC submissions. I've gotten fairly used to how NGC grades at this point. Since a lot of...
I agree also. The 1866 is AU-55, and the 1847 is an AU-50/53.
