You described the practice as "idiotically inputting a price higher than they are willing to pay". I'm saying spending more than you are willing...
I couldn't disagree more with this. Let's say you're at a show and a dealer shows you exactly what you're looking for but your maximum is $200...
Reverse 1 and obverse 2, however, if I had to pick one I'd go with #2 (the obverse carries it).
You can always message the seller asking for more pics. If you buy a coin with bad pics in an attempt to get a bargain, that risk is on you. I've...
What's wrong with it (at least on eBay) is that people can use fake accounts to up the bid increment by increment in order to find out what your...
VF as well. Attractive coin.
I won the bid on this 10 korona in the Heritage auction last night. I already have an MS64 example for my type set, but this one is PL. NGC is...
I've expanded my Hungarian type set to include the early Hungarian People's Republic (Magyar Népköztársaság) issues from 1949-1956. For this...
It's a great exhibit. Did you take photos of the drawers? I enjoyed the Barber pattern sketches and the Russian moustache tax token.
Likely not that many cases, since what I'm talking about is rather specific. I'm not collecting the coins to illustrate the history of the...
More than likely. I was in Hungary in the mid-90s and picked up a lot of nicer coins that were in circulation, but I don't have much of it...
I agree, and I think that is informative for any collector, though they may not be interested in it. What I was trying to say is that the typical...
Interesting perspective. I suppose if one is putting together a world coin catalog and knows nothing of the specifics of the country, one simply...
Well, what did it for me in this case was the gap. The type was struck in iron due to WWI and at the end of the war the type was finished. Two new...
But in the case I'm talking about, do you consider the coinage to be different? I'm talking about the same type (the only difference being the...
Here are some new acquisitions for my Hungarian sets: Hungary 10 Krajczár 1868KB KM-443 PCGS MS66 Silver 0.400, 1.66g, 18mm [ATTACH] This one is...
Hands down it's the quarter. Just the right size.
Has anyone else had a challenge trying to attribute types during transitional periods or rapid changes in government (as with WWI/WWII)? How did...
Here's a new pickup for my Hungarian type set with an interesting background. The Second Hungarian Republic (1946-1948) was the government of...
Nice 1832 B-2.
