He has arrived on ebay! http://www.ebay.com/sch/zhangxin19899/m.html?_trksid=p3692
Did someone just "wing it" or if I put my money on it, it flies away on wings...?
Very neat! I've done something similar as well. I really like the antimony coin - took me a while to hunt down one. I believe I've seen it for...
Your is actually in a decent condition. A lot of Kirin coins didn't survive too well as many of these silver coins were intentionally struck...
Counterfeit is very different from post mint damage. If this is indeed a counterfeit, there should be alarm bells going off as the weight and SG...
To be honest - you can't really stop anyone doing whatever they want. If someone wants to clean their coins, be my guest. But if they want to cry...
I'm not too sure if you are aware that there is a literature published on this matter. I cannot remember it off the top of the head (maybe...
In all honesty, Korean and Japanese error coins are quite hard to come by. This also includes greased dies, off center, clashed dies etc. I don't...
To return back to the topic - just return the "coins" and ask for your money back. If the seller refuses, file a complain with ebay and mention...
Sure why not... there's people selling hot air - it was only a matter of time that slabs only sales are to come.
It's all about cost. I am not aware of how US mint is setup to strike coins but in some of the video footage that I've seen in Australian and...
There is a reason why I specifically targeted crown size coin / ruble coins. These are the largest source of counterfeits and new collectors often...
Yes, if it's larger than 20mm - it's the larger size. Should weigh around 4.28g versus 2.63g for the smaller variety. I like the woody effect...
It's a shame to see the original holders not included. Sure people say buy the coins, not the holders but I find the original mint packaging...
I probably did over generalized it a bit too much. This is more applicable for ruble coins from 1700 to 1810. Some of the later Alexander I coins...
If you are looking into Imperial Russian coinage, Uzdenikov's 2nd edition catalog is quite decent as it is in both Russian and English. You learn...
Something that's realistic and wouldn't involve winning the big lotto? Maybe it would be nice to find a circulated Russian platinum coin or a...
The whole idea of negative interest rate is that Japan is in an unique situation where deflation has been persistently going on for the past...
Tough to say however they are both semi key dates. It's still somewhat cheaper to buy a mint set, crack it open and then slab them all to resell...
Makes you wonder if that bag of coins were handled by coal miners.
