Now they are down to one single 100 ounce bar. But it has a massive adjustment mark as if it were held up against a belt sander to knock half an...
Looks like it might be cleaned, as are about 90% of the Peruvian Sol coins from the 19th century.
I wonder how much physical silver actually traded hands today. I believe it is all paper contracts and derivatives making these wild price...
Check it out. They've got nothing, completely cleaned out. http://www.monarchpreciousmetals.com/ Saw this kind of cool 2 ounce bar last night...
Not sure if a CT scan would help make a diagnosis, though an EEG might reveal brain abnormalities that lead to such a decision.
I'm a nut for Albanian too, or anything designed by Romagnoli for that matter. What's kind of interesting about Albanian nickel minors, all of...
If it were a person who had previously shown great knowledge of numismatics, who then was seen to be selling off his coins for nothing or giving...
I think we could all benefit by having the Reverend Pat Robertson explain to us what he sees in the coin! Bet he claims it's a commemorative...
Maybe she can get them all slabbed MS70 along with a special pedigree on the label stating the coin is from the "RIP-OFF HOARD" followed by having...
Terrific photo.
It's not the same coin.
Let's see if anyone can guess the grade on both of these. I bet it will take 10,000 posts before anyone guesses right. Same coin, one graded by...

If it had prooflike fieds as many of the 100 Corona coins do, it would have been graded MS60 or MS61. Agree the reverse is gem, but then the...
According to the NGC census, the coin is tied for finest known with 6 others if it's a VAM-2 and tied with a single other coin for finest if it's...
Great link. Granted it's only an MS64, but the price realized is somewhat soft compared to what everyone on eBay seems to think these are worth....
Actually, "old" is a relative term but still applicable. It's not so much the chronological aspects of it as it is the changes in grading...
That sounds about right, 2000 or so. The little square holograms were earlier I believe. Meanwhile, I may need to get a VAM book. I specialize...
Here's a shot of the hologram on the holder. Doesn't precisely date the coin, but obviously old enough that maybe VAM coins weren't part of the...
WoW(!) No kidding? Had no idea! I paid $120 from a pawn shop the other day, something about the coin looked unusual, couldn't quite put my...
