Juicy, sweet, ripe South Carolina peaches..... man. Gets me every time.
Yup. I never participated in the PCGS registry because of their exclusivity. It had an air of unwarranted snobbishness - an imagined superiority...
Looks like a bit of gunk stuck on. Very *very* carefully, use a wooden toothpick and try to loosen it. If that doesn't work, use an acetone bath.
I think I like the first one better, but the stories are cool for both. What does "SMNB" mean?
Huh, that is a lot more specific than I was expecting. And I'm surprised you found something modern and foreign there. But I guess NYC gets quite...
I don't own one of these, but I keep hoping one will show up that meets my criteria. Yours is quite nice, congrats.
I'm hoping that someone with contacts at PCGS has reported this. PCGS takes cases of counterfeited slabs quite seriously, and pursues them. The...
Where is your "local park" (country is close enough, for privacy reasons)? That's not the sort of thing I'd expect to find in the US, normally.
Well, that's quite a journey! Glad you were finally successful!
It is not possible to have doubling such as what Chris posted on modern US coins. The mint has changed their technique of producing dies, and they...

That looks to be in really good condition. I'm guessing it was either stolen from daddy's collection, or someone purposely salted it in order to...
That is an attractive, and unusually well struck, 1921 dollar. These usually are quite weak in the centers. Yours appears to have a good amount of...
It is not an obvious counterfeit, so that is a good start. Can you take better pictures?
Well, @desertgem , it's not an answer, but I guess I see where you are coming from. I'm not that important, really, and know that I can be...
Go ahead and read up on Christodoulous, Becker, and Rosa. At least in the case of Becker and Rosa, deception was not their primary goal. I would...
When I see counterfeits from other producers, I am equally as vehement in condemning them. The difference is, Chinese counterfeits don't have...
1. They aren't coins. 2. I'm asking for definitive clarification of the interpretation of the rules. 3. I was warned to cease and desist. I'm...
Moderator desertgem posted this in another thread just this evening. I'm merely asking for a clarification of the rules, and/or how they are being...
