No offense to the coin, but I don't see 68+. Compare this to a 68 ASE or any other similar coin. This one has blemishes right on the face, whereas...
I would be at the superb gem level, 67. Wasn't for that graze on the cheekbone, I think it would be a 68 or higher.
Wow. I have been ignoring pm for a while due to good equity deals. So we are bragging about only $4.xx over spot for a maple now? Not saying its...
I will revive this thread. While attributed to Burma, (Shan), these also show up in Thai collections. This is one of the first unbroken "pig...
Size of the planchet? I don't see how they could strike up given the given size of the die and planchet.
I promise to try to take pics of them laid out when I get them Doug. You can help me know which ones are worth anything. I bought them for the...
Yeah, me too. I backed away a little on the Parthians to concentrate on the Sassanids. I did get a Vahran I obol, (rare thing), and a couple of...

I sure hope it crashes. I haven't bought any over about $1400 spot. I would like to Scrooge Mcduck some more. I hope it all comes tumbling down so...
I agree they are kind of weird to grade. I have never been great at them either, even though I consider them to be our greatest circulating US...
All auctioneers will brag about how well they do. I do see auctions results as high now, since way too many people have too much time on their...
I know everyone is dying to ask, which services authenticated them?
Both are also common with libraries. If yours doesn't have it, ask for it with interlibrary loan. That way you can get it, use it, see how you...
If you wanted a comprehensive resource, I would suggest buying Vol I of the Cherrypickers guide. It covers cents, and would list all known...
I would be at 65, no FS, and +. I say 65 versus 66 due to too many hits in PFA, the cheek, but + due to overall luster and appearance.
I actually like Washington quarters, especially the earlier ones in high relief. Its a tragedy what they have done to it today. Its a nice looking...
