So a VAM is just on one die. Nothing like early US die marriage varieties. But oh well. Two Morgans are enough for me.
Good luck! Just know that for every authentic one of these there are 5-10 fakes. They have been faking this coin for centuries. I am proud to be...
The portraits on those are simply outstanding. Very nice coins!
Those are really pretty. :)
Here is my collection of Da Quan Wu Shi's. They range from 11.6g to 0.8g. The one on the bottom right is made of lead. To the left of it is a...
Here is my stable of Huo Quans. I don't have any stellar ones like @chrsmat71. The second row has normal-sized coins. The third row shows just...
For the most part, Chinese coins are a helluva lot cheaper.
30 best for 1878 S or the whole Morgan series? I can think of 30 much more interesting VAMs of other dates. And I guess the decimal digits (eg....
Greece is one of the places I want to go to eventually. Glad to see you had such a great time. In ancient Chinese hoards, it is not unusual to...
You made a good choice. :) Very nice example. IMO, Wang Mang is the coolest area to collect in ancient China. So much happened in such a short...
That looks more confusing than my statistics textbook. :wideyed::nailbiting::rolleyes:
I have never seen one of those before. Thanks for sharing!
I am sure this fits in your "non-washer" standards. And it only cost me $25. Cha Ching!!! [ATTACH]
I don't exactly see what is special about these varieties. Is it a die defect? Something with the tail feathers or arrows? What does Top-30 mean?...
MS-64 PL
And this is why grading companies should not exist. It allows people with more money than brains to enter the hobby and ruin the fun for...
Both are cleaned. Don't send them in. It is a waste of time and money.
There is this wonderful thing called punctuation. You should try it sometime. If you had used punctuation, your point would have been a little...
Also, the center of the 8 is directly over a denticle on the N-4. Not so on the OP coin (at least as far as I can tell).
I normally do not disagree with Condor. It could be an illusion with the smooshed denticles, or the seller may have misattributed these coins, but...
Separate names with a comma.
