That kind of stuff is still interesting to have Big Ed as long as you realize what you have and mark it for what it is. I have a "collection" of...
That's really a poor counterfeit Magman. My 98 year old Grandma could pick that one out of a lineup. :D Bruce
Yes, it's a copy Big Ed. Bruce
Agreed fastfun. It certainly does look cast by the condition of the surfaces and the edge seam. Bruce
I'd like to know that as well New. Could you post pics so we can take a look at them? Maybe we can all learn something from your bad experience....
The best of luck to you UrbanChemist. Godspeed. Bruce
Alright Siggi, I'll start collecting Icelandic coins, but...............only if they're counterstamped. :D Bruce
Acid!! ... Ouch, that hurts. Like you say they're not key dates so that eases the pain a bit. What date was the Merc by the way? Bruce
They're some beautiful medals Mark. Siggi was very good to you. Although I love most of the Icelandic issues you've shown us, you haven't turned...

Well said, I couldn't agree more. Bruce

That's a great coin Lance. I always had the 8 Reales on my want list, but not being a collector of foreign coins it kept getting bypassed by...
They were all unpopular in their day Drago. It's lucky we collectors came along to keep their "spirit" alive. Personally I don't like any of them,...
That's a nice one moneyer. Wait until Siggi and the boys get a look at it. Thanks for posting...with an assist from Barry. :hail: Bruce
Wow, the reaction of those you spoke to at PCGS is stunning to me OldShutEye. Even if innundated with phone calls as she claimed, it was very...
I agree. Depending on the actual composition of the "white metal", which varies, it's more likely to scratch than silver. Bruce
I had to read your post a second time Clinker, because when I read it the first time yesterday I didn't fully appreciate what you were saying....
