That was the only thing that sounded "off" to me, and I was gonna crack a joke about that line when I realized I'd been had. Because it's...
This. They've all been cleaned. Polished.
There was no need to start a second thread about the same coin. You could have merely replied to the old one. I've merged the two into one. Had...
Nice piece!
"What's it worth"? My completely non-sarcastic answer is, "Whatever someone will pay you for it." As a casual holey collector, I do not like the...
I'm sure everyone is quite tired of seeing my favorite Vespasian coin (posthumous) by now.
That's what I expected. XF at least, if not AU. The NGC gods did not smile upon that one.
The 1931-S is not common. It is a semi-key date.
Yes, I think it's nice. The 2/5 surface rating is a bit low, but it scored well on strike and technical grade. I think mine got undergraded. It...
Well now, that's an interesting piece. I did not realize until now that some of these encased pieces were struck with the "passenger" coin...

The nicer 1903 went to France for 34 bucks plus shipping.
I was unaware of this. For the last few years I’ve just been using the clunky, error-ridden KM (Numismaster) database on the NGC World Coins...
Guess they don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of having to classify every kind of token that’s out there- and they like to abbreviate...
Ha! So I’m not one hundred percent senile, yet! *whew!*
Krause-Mishler. The Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins (SCWC), in other words.
Immortal. The guy's long dead, and still making people laugh.
That Balboa is about to go off to PCGS. If it straight-grades MS, I will keep it for my own collection. However, I have another Balboa (a 1934,...
To mine as well. There's a reason I bought it. It would be in my own collection if it was slabbed and I didn't already have an 1818 CircCam.
Separate names with a comma.
