It looks like a legit cud to me. But, cuds do seem to be a lot more common on copies - I've seen them show up on counterfeit Morgan's. Are Cuban...
I've seen those in dealer junk bins and melt bins for pretty close to spot. Who really buys those, I wonder?
Let's get the thread back on track... Yesterday I picked up a big pile of coins from a bullion dealer who didn't have any knowledge of foreign...
So, the bullion dealer negotiated a bit, but accepted my 2nd offer. I went $80 for a good selection of silver (including the Cuban piece, an...
Anyone heard an update on this? I have a pendant made from Atocha silver and would love to pick up some more...
Hmm. I wonder how hard it would be to get a storage unit on the ground floor and sink a safe into the slab... Get a bunch of ratty boxes full of...
If an item has a denomination, then I would classify it as a coin. That's the bright line between a medal and a coin. Size / weight / composition...
I've committed to US Philippine coinage as a 'sleeper' investment. I think as more people become aware of it, there is a large potential for the...
Anyone want a bunch of 40% silver dimes and quarters? :rollling:...

I recently purchased a 1932 George Washington medal, but I don't think there's an appropriate forum to post about it. Where does everyone else...
I share your fascination with the series. A while back I made a powerpoint about the different types and presented it at several local coin club...
Where did the East India Company mint its coins? Is it possible that certain runs of the coin were underweight, not due to counterfeiting but due...
I recently came across a set of 0.999 fine silver restrikes made in various sizes by the Casa de Moneda. Any idea what the mintage numbers on...
Nope. And my landlord would probably be a bit upset if I drilled into the slab. :rollling: I do have some hefty safes, but I want some off-site...
At at least one BoA location, they added a vault in an area where they had unused office space. If there are 20+ people calling daily, then it...
