Familiar with what you are describing. While the market has never fully absorbed all the 1930 Uruguay 5 Peso coins that hit the market a dozen...
What gives with the ancient post in our WORLD thread? Just couldn't help yourself, huh? ...lol..,,
I would say it's fairly clear a hoard has been unloaded. Mark Teller always seems to know the source for some reason though I don't talk to him...
Yup, an over-generalization. Guilty as charged. Part of the reason dealing with dealers who are jerks is so attractive, is that many others refuse...
F12. Were it a 4 Reales, I believe that is the grade it would fetch. That's one of things that's kind of nice about grading world coins, for the...
Agree with most of it, but have to differ with item #1 about: "Reputable dealers are honest, decent, nice people who deserve our patronage, to...
I was going to say John Travolta, but on second thought, -the nod goes to Liberace!
Agree, however that was not always the case. The 100 Franc of the same design has always been a common coin, and at one time sold for melt even...
Not to be confused with the economy model chariot which only had two horses, also known as a "biga". Or a "trigarium" which is chariot with 3...
Holy smokes, 17 of them on eBay at the moment?...
Consigned these to Lyn Knight - no reserve and really choice coins. http://www.lynknight.com/ShowAuctionDetails.Asp?Auction_ID=242757

If all the other coins in this series that your dad gave you are nicer, you might want to continue looking for a better example of the 1939 with...
Yes, you are quite correct, it is a bezel or possibly the bottom of a Sterling silver dish? And I'm not so sure it's counterfeit, the LIBERTY in...
Actually, that's a silver coin, and probably an MS66 or MS67. Nice one "Fred"! Certainly nicer than my mere MS63. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
One of those coins that skews "Coin Facts" prices realized no doubt...lol. Been in there several times looking at prices realized on not so rare...
VF20 -- VF=Very Fake. But if a grade had to be assigned for simulated wear, etc. then it would be a 20.
65.
In a PCGS holder, I would say 64. In an NGC holder, same thing provided it has a 6 digit submission number. All bets are off if it's in an...
Looks like they called it a 5¢ coin instead of what it really is: A double 5¢. Which wouldn't be any more confusing than calling a half-dime an...
Separate names with a comma.
