No, they could have done that, by planning to do that from the get go and obviously not announcing that it would be regular weights, when they do...
All they had to do was take equivalent sized gold planchets and make sure they fully struck up duplicates of the 1916 coins. The quality of the...
Yep. This was a popular restrike. I believe they did a couple runs of them between 1965-1967 with that as the total struck. Sent from my SM-N910V...
Exactly. I don't agree with that definition either. Really what makes a proof a proof is the intent when it is struck. If a mint decided to...
I just had one come back from NGC with an MS that is a proof for a restrike that had both proof and matte proof versions (but both only proofs)....

I'm not sure someone would pay for the old grey sheets, but the rest looks either collectible or useful as reference. Is there a catalog of the...
Good quality material. I'm sure you can find a buyer for all of this. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Here's a new pickup for my Hungarian Franz Joseph I coronation/jubilee medals set. While Franz Joseph I Austrian jubilee material is fairly...
Absolutely. Some are pretty much only collectible, but others are sought out as references, even if they are old. It depends on the book....
Here's a Hungarian medal I recently purchased that was sculpted at the onset of WWI. 1914 Cast Bronze Medal (High Relief) 82mm "For Culture and...
As mentioned, you don't get it with economy unless you pay an extra $5 per coin. I agree there isn't much difference between ones with the coating...
A beautiful bust dime. Get any bust quarters to go with it? :shame:
No, the global marketplace can cause entire countries to be virtually priced out due to currency differences. When I spent time in Hungary in the...
