I think you caught the low sir. 340 GBP is about the rock bottom for that grade, and have been going up IMHO.
IF anyone really cared about silver or gold. Why should an economy be tied to a commodity? If it were, why gold or silver? Why not the price of...
I do not like slabs much, with my US coins all being unslabbed, (bought them years ago when good coins still survived "in the wild"), but I agree...
I am guessing upgrades went clockwise? Both lower ones very nice.
True, sorry. I was thinking of the Amisos issues since I happened to have one in my hand 10 minutes before I wrote that. You are very correct...
Sure, hold us accountable to how dealers grade. That makes sense. THe same never happened in US coins before TPG ever either, right? Dealers NEVER...
I am sure the TPGs can eventually try to get some RFID chip package, with high res photos, etc to protect high end coins. What I am worried about...
Agreed. Adjustment marks will be parallel to each other. Coins of Amisos under Mithradates IV were HORRIBLY adjusted for some reason, (especially...
I agree. It can happen. Some people do not like this part of the hobby. They feel nervous a new hoard could be found and they "lose money". Eh, it...
Its a flaw in the designation of the grading system. The US grading system made an artificial contrivance to split coins into two groups,...
My points are not silly at all, it is you who cannot get it out of your head your US coin grading indoctrination. What is a "grade"? It is a...
But WHY. You and @TypeCoin971793 keep repeating something, this huge "difference" between circulated and non-circulated. You act like this was...
Why is it ludicrous? What do coin collectors collect? Coins. They don't want blank pieces of metal, and they most covet the perfect coin. Let me...
I would guess the top is 45, bottom 61/62 IMHO, (not being a gold $20 collector).
Yes, but short of that, (assuming same luster), I like the question. I am probably of a different mindset than many, but I grade on DETAILS. The...
Well, at least they followed the law. If they marked it COPY then its not a counterfeit, its a replica. No intent to deceive anyone. nothing wrong...
Depends on intent. Did they make the coin to pass as a real coin in commerce, or to fool a collector? Then it is a counterfeit. Is it something...
Eh, that is the reason why provincials follow Greek listing order. I would keep them the same as Greek do too. :)
I agree. No sense keeping generic issues with the coins secret. I understand maybe the scammers read posts like this, but good ones would know it...
I understand. That is why we are here. I admit when I see one of these I stop and look at the coin wholistically once again just to be sure. Its a...
