Finally the listing is closed . . . thanks for doing the right thing.
I find it quite interesting that you edited your original post here on CT at 1:05 AM on 2/01/19 to indicate that the coin has been sold, removing...
This coin is not the insanely valuable proof. As written, your listing is misleading.
I'm tempted to buy a copy . . . my only reservation is that updates couldn't possibly keep up with the pace of new discoveries.
I just looked back at the coin and realized It cannot be what I postulated . . . it had to be struck before being folded over. That's what I get...
I'll go out on a limb with an explanation I think is plausible. This looks like it was a clamshell lamination in the planchet which, when the...
So was your credibility. Either that or your boat . . .

What did Thomas Lincoln say to Abe before he next saw him return all beaten and scarred? . . . Go outside and play in the street for a while.
Now THAT sounds like a great thread to start.
Wow, willing to travel 2 hours each way, no less. I'm green with envy. Not neon green, mind you . . . just market-acceptable olive green.
I too know of others who have successfully "pasted" coins but will state for clarification, I do not clean coins. An examination of my inventory,...
Yeah, she likes that I keep significant gold inventory, but she couldn't care less about the dates and / or grades I stock. If she knew the...
I believe "properly cleaned" coins, at least as defined by the standards of professional grading services, will be straight-graded, and not...
