Pretty much the same with most coins. Some even less time.
Businesses and banks would probably run out of cents in the first 3 months, maybe sooner. Then there would be an uproar from the public. Do you...
Yes it would make a difference, a huge difference. The graders are the ones who would have to take the time to write those notes. And their time...
For those years, they minted several different varieties of Ducatons in 1672 &1673. That's it. If you don't know, this is what a ducaton looks...
Yeah, it would be simple, but it takes time. Do you realize how long a grader looks at a coin before marking his opinion ? About 6 seconds and...
Makes sense to you or not - that is what they do, and always have done. I'm sure they are aware that people would wonder - why ? But they don't...
Good Lord Amanda, do you have any idea how many coins that is ? There are pages and pages of just the silver coins, let alone a the gold and...
Hate to say it, but imo it's not a Proof, it's polished, and it's AT. Send it back.
Ehhh, we'll see. Depends on if the info they provide has any semblance to reality or not.
That one looks like a plated fake - so nothing.
Yes, of course they do. I used to have it, don't any more of course. The best option there is is for ANA members to use Hugh Wood Ins. Co. And...
Yes, see post #6.
A good, quality fire safe will keep the contents of the safe at or under 350 degrees for 2 hours. That is the idea of a fire safe, to keep the...
It does make you wonder doesn't it. Forget the 35 - pitted, heavily corroded, damaged - and still in a regular slab.
There can be a dozen different reasons for it. But for the most part is the same thing I said before. Toning on a coin is always the result of...
Perhaps, but if there was a siege of Amsterdam in 1672 I can find no specific record of it. And I can find no record of any siege coins minted in...
Not any more they don't. They buy gold & silver on the open market.
The guy who was largely responsible for that happening, used to be a member of this forum. Till the Director of the Mint found out and fired him...
Partly, but more than anything else it has to do with what caused the toning to begin with. All coins tone differently because they are in...
I'm already working on a book, or rather helping a friend with his book. It's a ton of work and there is a long, long way to go. As for my posts,...
Separate names with a comma.
