Don't know that I'd call it a cob since it was minted in Spain, but yeah.
I'm not familiar with the coins at all so I can offer no answers on how to tell one from the other. But what I do know is this, when it comes to...
If you keep this up we may have to change your user name Siggi - Bad Penny. He comes, he goes, he comes, he goes, and he comes again :D
Hmmmm. OK, I realize I'm runnin on only 4 hrs of sleep and that my brain must be in a fog or something. Or, maybe I'm still asleep and only...
I put 'em both at dead even, for different reasons. And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but somebody needs to go over and slap the guys at...
I guess I may as well weigh in here too. The '66 I'd say 55 at best. The '47, Insider might have a point on an old cleaning but I'd want to see it...
No. Even the TPGs down-grade coins on a regular basis. If the coin changes, the grade changes too. It IS NOT the plastic that determines the...
I'm still trying to get over the fact that they slabbed that thing.
Normally yes, but in this case I don't think so since it's not a valid email address - meaning the bots won't harvest it. But I'd change it...
When I refer to coin dip I am talking about any of the several different commercial brands of dip that are sold. All of them contain an acid of...
I don't disagree with that. But the coin clearly shows all the signs of having been harshly cleaned. You can even see traces of the streaks left...
Yeah, they may. But even if they did, coin dip, assuming its use could be detected, is not one of the things that would cause a coin to receive a...
To each his own I suppose. But those who are unwilling to not only recognize but also acknowledge the benefit of knowledge, regardless of its...
I certainly wouldn't say unc details as the coin has obvious wear. And while I can't see tell tale scratches from a harsh cleaning I can see signs...
Well I wouldn't quite say that Ken, but I can say that I used to give them away :) Back when I used to collect US coins I ran across another...
Like you I always wanted a Charles V coin too since he holds a somewhat special place in history, but mine were gold not silver. And struck in the...
Highly unlikely. The 1st looks to have been harshly cleaned already to me. And what remains appears to be, to me anyway, good old fashioned dirt...
Yeah, there's a lot of folks that are surprised to find a woman interested. But things are changing, have been for some years now. There are a...
Yes, it is the law. That is because title cannot be passed on a counterfeit coin sold as being genuine. Yeah, they can do that. And you can...
I'd consider your pricing sources suspect, but then all price guides are pretty much worthless. But for low grade coins like you're asking about,...
Separate names with a comma.
