Every few months, the VAM folks come out with a new list of varieties. There's a Top 100, and a Hot 50, and an Amazing 75, The 63 Blessed by the...
My very first ancient was this Alexander the Great Tetradrachm, that I bought from a Stack's auction in 2011. I probably paid too much for it...
This sounds plausible, and was my first reaction as well. My other thought was that this could be a minor strikethrough, but I've never seen one...
So were these stamped, not carved?
Haha, paddy, now that is dedication to a cause. I can appreciate that! ;)
Man, that coin is gorgeous! I'm not a fan of restorations like this, but I do appreciate that it was clearly stated. I wonder, and this is just...
Ebay has this really cool feature where dealers can put their coins "on sale" for some discount over their buy it now price. Everyone is a sucker...
Sure, almost all the dealers will be buying (that's how they get the stuff to sell). But don't be offended if a dealer isn't interested in what...
Not surprised at all. PCGS is known to be much harder on these. For example, @BigTee44 's coin would definitely not have slabbed at PCGS.
Well, my position is no secret, haha. I think you need to add another choice "No, and I never will."
I always think its cool to see artifacts along with coins, especially in a museum type display. It adds a lot more context to the coins. I don't...
I think the results of that recent mega-thread was that telling the other side they couldn't post wasn't allowed. Once this finally gets settled...
Course I didn't forget that one ;) I just didn't want to overwhelm the thread with all of my rare PL/DPL coins. But since you asked for it! NGC...
The advantage of a 150-180 over a 90-100 (which is what I have) is that the farther away you pull the lens, the higher the angle you can...
Your pictures are improving slightly. So, I guess there's benefit in that. However, taking more pictures of the same coin won't turn it into a DDR.
Hard to tell, but it may be? Here are the ones listed by CONECA:...
No. Still looks like an attractive 63 to me. The new pictures are better, and show the luster more - but they just solidify my 63 opinion.
Yes, I've definitely seen doubling that was only visible on the date. However, there are no DDOs listed for 1958D. I don't see the doubling in...
There are 16 82D Washingtons in the census (1 - 64, 5 - 66, 7 - 67, 3 - 68). I had seen the 64 listed on Ebay years ago, but I had never seen any...
The RedBook has the listing.
