Thing I always remember: the TPGs are a tool. Tools can be very useful if used appropriately, and counterproductive if used poorly. A hammer is...
Going around in circles here, buddy. These are the same comments and complaints that people have been making about TPGs for 20 years now.
I think they call that the Mega Red book now, and they are on the 3rd edition (I just recently bought it). My understanding is that each edition...
Yeah, I understand why people like the shipwreck stuff. It just doesn't do anything for me. I do like the history related in the above post......
These are really cool coins.
Good guesses! NGC called this 67 RD PL. I guess I was surprised that it got a 67, with those lines on the shield. I realize that they are...
You guys are close on the second one. NGC called it 64BN, but I could absolutely see it as 65 on a good day. Y'all are way off on the first one,...
No. 8 reales are pretty available. If you're looking for one of these types, look for a problem free example. "Shipwreck" is code for...
These two little creatures were in my mailbox yesterday. They are tiny! These are 1 Muzuna coins from Morocco, and are smaller than a US dime....
Hey, let's switch it up a bit and guess the grade of a super modern, 2015D Shield Lincoln. Bought a (somewhat) expensive coin the other day, and...
Posted something.... decided it wasn't worth my time. Nevermind.
Attractive, original, problem free pieces will always garner a stronger price than their afflicted counterparts. Price guides are a good tool, but...
A lot of the B mint coins are actually quite high quality, and would fool someone not knowledgeable about the series. I would not be surprised at...
Congrats on the pickups. How can you identify these as proofs, as opposed to Prooflike strikes? Are there any markers? And, could you tell us...
Congrats on the score with that 64. I'm late to the party, but I would have guessed 63 from your initial pictures. I really like these Cuban...
Too bad about all those chopmarks... Man, I hate chopmarks.
I've read enough Calvin and Hobbes to know that I really want a pet tiger.
I've never heard of these before. Thanks for teaching us about them.
It may be machine doubling, from what I see. There are many, many doubled dies on world coins. Very few people outside of America care about...
Looks cool. What does it say?
Separate names with a comma.
