If you are collecting Chinese coins, I think it would be very hard to complete the collection without buying any coins from China!
I presume you are trying to psychologically influence the grader? I would hope the grader is better than that. I always list things in catalogue...
Fiber? Is that like cardboard? Or felt? Describe it to us. That is very unusual.
With that much wear, I'm more surprised that's all it has lost.
That's actually a good question. There are three main things (that I can think of) that could cause a similar look: 1. Die rust 2. Planchet...

I think what he's trying to say is, be smart about it. I generally disagree with his assessment of key dates (they will always be popular, and...
My favorite coin changes fairly often. I've got about a dozen that, depending on the day, I might say was my favorite. So, how about I post one...
Really? Wow. That seems super lenient. VF-35 should be just a smidge away from an EF - and that thing is nowhere close! Is this a case of key...
Wow. Some of the fakes you post are incredibly convincing - this is not one of them.
Honestly, I don't see anything. The pictures are too pixelated. It's entirely possible to discover new DDOs, I've found a couple myself....
Is that a proof? Dang, that looks awesome.
Great eye appeal on that piece. Congrats!
It's a gold shield, so when you check the PCGS cert number it should have pictures. Do the pictures match the coins? I personally have bought...
