Rare is a relative word. Educational Coin at FUN had a bag of a couple of hundred of the exact coin. I bought two of them with better than normal...
Educational Coin has like 5 bags of widow's mite based upon quality you can cherrypick through if you go.
We have had long threads here before about the swastika. Just because a symbol was used by an Austrian idiot 80 years ago does not change 5000...
Whatever strikes my fancy really. Maybe to give an idea, a nice F Antioch tet of Antony and Cleopatra, a few more types like my avatar coin, some...
Yes, that was those. Great buy for condition like that. I see a lot of dealers wanting $150 or more for similar. At FUN, they were $20 or ten for...
I bought some from educational coin from their pick groups. I also bought somencoins for the boys. I brought a few k but couldn't get excited...
Not yet sir. Maybe another year or so, but you or anyone else will ever need to call me doctor. :) Just doing it to learn how to learn new things...
FUN usually excludes me as well. Too cold in MN right now. As for the theoretical poll, I think it would be an excellent place to obtain...
Lol, that is like saying I voted with half of all Americans.....no matter the vote you most likely did. :)
Fair points as always Jeff. If they are truly trashed coins and not just "common" coins I object less. FWIW, I think the crud from.HSN and others...

My thought exactly. This makes all the difference. Now I would be very willing to purchase, but am not in a market for this coin. However, same...
I voted detrimental. Unless the coins he uses truly are harshly cleaned, numismatically destroyed coins, I object to destroying a coin on purpose...
Let's talk about a coin I am in the market for, an Antony and Cleo Antioch tet. If I knew the piece was tooled, no I would not pay money for it. I...
I am with others. A repair like this is simply tooling. While smoothing is a continuum which I can be comfortable at a certain point, tooling is...
No, not really. I think they may let some local dealers fill in on Sunday, (not sure if FUN does, but some other shows do), but for the most part...
I wonder if there is a BU "lowball" market. Seems easy enough, buy ASE's for melt, put in bag, shake vigorously, sell, rinse and repeat.
Um, I think its sarcasm Chris. ;)
Limited edition of 10,000 "perfect" coins. Boy, MS70's sure are rare, ain't they?
