While I understand what you're referring to when you say 2+ years, the honest truth is it's a whole lot worse than that ! While the market is...
Isn't this horse dead yet ? :rolleyes:
Just as a bit of info that might be noteworthy to some, Tyler's Museum in the Netherlands, who has one the largest, if not the largest,...
Well don't feel bad. I once set out to collect a date set of a coin that had been minted continuously for almost 450 years - and they were gold...
$4,683,492 - and 39 cents Only because I've always wanted to answer of these that way :D
Let's assume for a minute that this idea would work, it won't but just for the sake of argument let's assume that it would. Many fakes are made...
My guess, some kid got bored and decided to see what he could do to it with a file.
Hmmm - sounds like you better just pray that you never discover world coinage ! :D

Pardon the interruption, but the person you were speaking too, is at least twice your age. And yeah I know how old both of you are. I now return...

As an answer to the question - works for me. But to put it another way, it's an excuse to call them coins. And they, the mints, need to do that...
I seriously doubt anyone is even remotely interested in my opinion but a 69 is an absolute Joke !
To my way of thinking it doesn't. There are many DMPL coins that are no where near the equal of Proofs. But even if they were polished to that...
As I stated - it is obvious to me that you only have 1 purpose here. And it is not one that will allow you to be a member of this forum for long....
Why lie about what ? His comment was obviously, to anyone but perhaps an "ordinary fool", facetious.
But all dies are polished before use - every single one. It is the degree to which the polishing is done that partially distinguishes a Proof from...
LOL ! Oh I dunno Mike, I suspect he's probably participated in more than one as it is :)
But it takes more than that to define a Proof.
Really ! Hmmmm, please show me examples of where non disclosure of a coin having been properly dipped has ever proved to be a legal problem ? And...
