Are you trying to post a new thread or only trying to respond to an existing thread? One of the forums had a criteria where you couldn't post a...
I had not heard of the second book. I can't find much about what it covers, but an ebay listing indicates it includes medals and currency? If RPDs...
Yes, I did that multiple times. "This item cannot be found." Clearly it's still in an NCS slab since it's a current auction. It's graded AU...
I see a coin up for auction in a Numismatic Conservation Services slab but I'll be danged if I can figure out where to verify the cert on the...
I don't follow this stuff much but 1) CACG is already stooping to doing this special label gunk? "First delivery"? 2) Pre-emptive grading doesn't...
Thanks! Further down that thread: "I must note - there are a few things in my OP that are factually incorrect based on subsequent research. My OP...
That was my first thought as well, but I let it go.
Do you have a link to that discussion? Might be interesting to see the other comments. I don't have any skin in this game either, I'm just...
You have to be a member of ANA to view the Numismatist archives. If you're a member, it's easy to find, if not, link would be useless. The author...
The article mentioned above debunks that. While they likely originated with Eva Adams, the first sale occurred in 1990, and she didn't die until...
OK, you made me look for it. November 2024 Numismatist "The 1964 Special Mint Sets: Special or Not?". Extensively researched article. Heretical to...
I would say that like yours, other people have them and know they have them, they just haven't bothered getting it attributed. Nice score!
Interesting (perhaps) tidbit - the pattern coin for the Barber dime series simply reused the Seated Liberty reverse. I don't know if that was the...
I was wondering if someone would mention that. Wasn’t the whole 1964 SMS thing debunked a while back? i.e. they don’t exist. Maybe it involved the...
Don’t hold your coins like that. Fingerprints never come off.
I was thinking of that exact example. The Chinese may have counterfeited these counterfeits! Maybe knowingly or accidentally. I wonder if anyone...
I guess legally they can't "deface" someone else's property; I just wish there was something more they could do for the obvious Chinese crap,...
I make a distinction between historical contemporary counterfeits that were intended to fool the marketplace, and counterfeits intended to fool...
Seems to me that your sample size is too small and there are too many variables to draw any conclusions about auction houses. Just in the 5...
Yes I think it's called an "everyman" set which is only circulated coins, so of course they all go after AU58 or AU58+. Most of my Barber quarters...
Separate names with a comma.
