I'm guessing it had something to do with the introduction of the "buffalo" nickel and the gyrations around finalizing the design. SF was shipped...
In my opinion a coin could easily lose 5% of its weight (your stats) from that level of wear. The Morgan is 2.4mm thick. That means an average...
I don't know how anyone can make a determination from those crappy photos. The barcode scans correctly and it has the same rotation in the slab as...
https://cim.stacksbowers.com/ Saw this in an email, seems interesting, doubt if I would ever do it though. Various video formats and price tiers....
I am TPG neutral. I really couldn't care less whose slab the coin is in or whose sticker is on it. Speaking of world coins, I own a lot of ICCS...
It case you haven't noticed, they're breaking everything. USPS just started earlier. Dejoy wants to privatize it, so you have to break it first...
Whose math is wrong? I see current gold at 93596/kg making it worth 467980. So it's currently below melt.
Wow man, far out.
It looks intentional. I see tooling marks when zooming in on the images.
This was my white whale for decades, ever since I read about it as a kid. The Canada 1947 50c Maple Leaf Curved Right 7. I recall the estimate is...
Roger Burdette in the Winter 2024 BCCS journal proposed a theory that the early 1900s New Orleans "mumps" half dollars were caused by thin...

The mint swaps in a new die whenever they need one. There's no way to determine what month a coin was minted (with rare exceptions like a known...
Never heard of them but they need to modernize if they hope to survive. 20% BP is steep for such an obscure outfit. I pay GC and HA by echeck and...
I think that's the one that calls it a "tribute coin" or some such nonsense.
Well I suppose we're getting toppled by youngsters more interested in bitcoin than realcoin. Or it could be Russia. Who knows.
My concern is getting banned for saying what my concerns are. But why did you start this? "Getting toppled" by the lack of new numismatists seems...

Try to get in the habit of looking up images of coins - NGC, PCGS, Heritage, whatever. This would immediately tell you that they all have it,...
Just be careful who you're buying from if online. I did a "shopping" search and saw a site called winktop selling them for $24.99 or if you buy...
