Numbers 2 and 3?
Wow, too bad. All in all, I would say its an above average GSA except for the tire tracks across her cheek. At what point does it stop being bag...
Very interesting Warren, thank you. I find it particularly interesting since I do the same thing with Sogdian coins, picking out the varieties...
Considering I personally own maybe 8 of these from old collections, I don't think it's much of a concern. There are thousands upon thousand of...
Aww man, don't go there. Those creepy things gave me nightmares for days when I was young. :(
I wouldn't go as far as Thad. I say put in a flip and label it a bad fake, made by removing, (poorly), part of the first 4. No one with any sense...
Good post about monkeys on coins. Like my favorite, rhinos, you would think they would have been more prevalent on ancient coins but they weren't.
Wow, iconic US coin images. When I think of US coins, (warning longish list), I think of: 1. Buffalo nickel 2. Indian head cents 3. Draped bust...
Many sellers like to say this, but its only technically true, not really true. We have seen many buyers on Ebay way overpay for things. The buyers...

I agree. One of the shortcuts I always used to see equality of strike was the PLURI in the banner on the reverse. Yours is fully struck, which is...
Holy crud, another note with the Sept 27 birthday, (same as mine)? Weird. I had no idea Steve Kerr or Gwenneth Paltrow shared my birthday. :)
Someone paid way too much to buy something off of tv or from the back of a cheap magazine is what it is. Keep it as a curiousity OP but it has no...
Its sad how the bullion market specifically, and the coin market generally, seems to attract shady dealers. It always has. Maybe its a function of...
I think of the nickels any time I see any buffalo, (bison). :) Heck, any time I read about any history, US Civil war, war of the roses, Roman, I...
I took it more that the TPG did not think they belong in, in their view, "clean" slabs.
I agree. From my own experience, I use the handy tools Thad provides to try to remove the worst of it, then apply VC to the coin. I let it sit for...
Would verdicare remove the corrosion from this coin?
Separate names with a comma.
