I don’t understand how sniping would be “cheating” someone when that is how the auction is set up. Whoever is willing to pay the most wins the...
Your OP coin has missing detail due to weak strike and the NE Numismatics coin has missing detail due to flan/centering. When dealing with...
Your bid may have been a tad on the high side but not outrageous. A 58 in a crappy blue ANACS holder recently went for $560 on EBay. Also you...
This is a perfect example of why I avoid bidding on auctions for gold stickered coins. The ugly black streak draws my eyes a lot more than the...
I have one Lafayette that I paid $400 for, a certified straight graded XF40. I feel like I got a better deal than if I had bought two...
I dislike any listing of a certified coin with juiced photos, not just the ones claiming to be “PL” without the designation. It is usually...
So if the coin isn’t equivalent to a PCGS or NGC coin with a CAC sticker it gets sent back with no slab at all, just a body bag?
The 1986 ASE’s trade for a bit of a premium due to their being the first year of issue. Latest auction results on eBay are in the $40 to $50...
I think any coin is a bargain if the enjoyment it provides to the buyer is more than what they paid. Given the history of yours I’m sure they...
I picked this up on eBay for under 70 bucks shipped and definitely wasn’t disappointed when seeing it in hand. It’s not high grade and not in a...
I’ve been wanting a Victoria crown for a long time and this just came in the mail today (seller’s photos). Not beat up and/or cleaned like most...
Here are a couple of my highlights. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I would prefer a coin like the OP’s over a “crusty”, heavily tarnished circulated piece with “original skin”. I may be speaking heresy, but I’m...
I would never let packages with coins like those accumulate. A Philippine peso is high on my list right now and I hope I will have enough...
I was between a 35 and 40. A nice eye appealing coin either way.
Were the slabs also fake? My slab doesn’t look tampered with and it looks like other ANACS slabs, but I’ll have to do a close comparison. I’ve...
By “this type of coin” do you mean same wear pattern and color?
Thanks for looking it up! For some reason I haven’t been able to get the verification page to open.
The obverse die breaks give it an air of legitimacy.
I just picked up this ANACS slabbed Chinese silver dollar on EBay. Nothing about the coin or the slab screams fake to me but I’m hyper vigilant...
