Yeah, one of the best animal coins I have seen in a long time. If I see one at a coin show I will buy one for the kids. I was at an auction...
@Collecting Nut , maybe think about ancients. No "holes" to fill except ones you choose. What you are going through, anxiety driven by decisions...
Oh man, you hater. :) This one is probably at the top of my bucket list right now, many others having dropped off the last few years....
I agree of course. If @Cherd wishes to protect them, that is his right. I am simply in the other camp, like @expat feeling that handling these...
I would simply say sir to browse major sales. Coin after coin in the same state of preservation. Honestly, our belief "real" coins should be worn...

I agree with some others, the sample leave alone and the Morgan looks fairly graded. I would concentrate on the Columbian myself, and sending to...
Um, my avatar has original mint luster on both sides, and it's just one hundreds of mint state ancients I own. The OP coins look good from the...
Not sure, but can find you.
I can try to be there about noon tomorrow but it will be tight with a soccer game for the kiddo in the morning. @mlov43, any extra copies of the...
I have to agree, looks polished to me. I collect this emperor since his coinage was the earliest I have found to list Christopher, (Xristofer), on...
I agree with others here. Until you are truly a bona fide expert, soaking with acetone, (not nail polish remover, go to a hardware store and get...
There is? You sound like my wife, lol. :)
I resemble your remark. However, I disagree with the premise of said videos, and agree with your approach. They are probably true that for most...
