I concur. While its possible this coin was just struck on an abnormally light flan, we should see some evidence of it either too small or weaker...
I wouldn't think so sir but I am not an expert in modern coins. Hopefully @statequarterguy or another modern collector can chime in and answer...
Grease in die? Usually most common cause of lost detail in little nooks like that. If it were incuse I could buy it was a chipped die.
I agree sir. Maybe I wrote this post badly. I was meaning to say if you want a slab, fine, (I like them for authenticity as well), but if to your...
Didn't CAC kind of beat you to this idea? :D
Heck yeah. 20-25 years ago AU55-58 seated and capped bust halves was my sweet spot. I simply found the value outstanding. Today, I believe most of...
I have to say, if you cannot really tell the difference why pay the money? Find a nice 62 that YOU like, tell the TPG to go to heck, and pay only...
....mint with mint tags, that is all I am saying. Btw, they do have products to protect the slabs. Its a plastic coating that can make sure the...
Don't worry, the Greeks are getting their revenge against the Franks right now. All they had to do was pull back, borrow a few hundred billion...
Unfortunately no. :( Good gosh, my name, address, and SSN is on so many official forms and documents its not even funny. People need to understand...

Lol, looks like my light reading list. Actually, mine right now is three books on captive insurance, but once I am done with those I will be back...
So your issue is the police confiscations then? You have to be counting that as government theft, since without that it's simply not arguable...
Well they weigh more than I thought. From the pic a few posts above, the far left hippocampus weighs .98 grams, the middle one without AOE is 1.00...
Who said it wasn't good? Just because it may not be worth over face value does not mean it cannot be a good and cool coin. Never confuse the worth...
I never said anything about "real" ancient collectors sir, only "most". I did not mean to offend. Btw, you could simple put your coin in a flip...
Well, about the "best TPG for ancients", I guess maybe it is. However, I would say most ancient collectors would argue no TPG is useful to our...
[ATTACH] Sorry guys, but here is the best my cell phone would do. I took the pic with a smallish AE3 for scale. On the left if the hippocamp....
I might have interest if they struck alternative designs instead. I don't care so much about the metal, but would be more interested in other...
I like it, definitely a pretty lady. Btw, you don't discuss age with a proper lady. ;)
