Looks like a double punched and fallen 4. I am not a huge collector of Mexican coins, but find the series just rife with errors/varieties such as...
I have a few things, like about 20 oil lamps, a North African pitcher, a cuneiform cone, etc.
Why amazing? Are dealers supposed to be aware of every private token manufacturer? They are coin dealers, not necessarily token or fantasy coin...
Btw, i am always jealous of all of these posts. I just don't have time to play with me coins as much as I like. Mine go into flips, into boxes,...
Good question actually. Theoretically you would want laser I believe. Laser would always be dry, and not subject to sticking, as well as have no...
Look at the overall mushiness of the design. If a coin was worn, there should be loss of high point details, but there isn't. Its just overall...

OP, of course if you held pricing, quality, and basically everything else equal, then customer service would be the competing variable. In your...
I would agree with others. The buyback price of 40% and silver war nickels has always been much further from melt than 90%. It just costs too much...
I have to agree. I have been in coin stores, knowing their sell price is say 15x, overhearing him offering someone walking in 12x or less....
Greece never touched SDB's. Cyprus maybe, I cannot recall. Cyprus was kind of weird deal. A ton of the money there was owned by Russian mobsters...
Isn't a $5 a half eagle?
Biggest thing to consider when getting a safe is not the safe itself, but the installation. I have walls all around mine that have steel plates...
