Wonderful post.
I am so over pod duangs at this point. Hard to store and I literally have 100 or more of them. Sure, I will pick up a group lot now and then if...
what you describe sir is exactly how ancients are graded. We ignore things like weak strikes and simply grade based upon how much detail is left,...
3830786-012 is not the cert number? Or do you mean you think the description is referring to a different coin than this? Yeah, I could see...
Search auctioneers like Fred Lake, etc. Books like this can be pricey online, since many times they are just hoping to hook a sucker. I believe...

You shouldn't have to though sir. Most of us are not like that. There are some on here I disagree strongly on one thread, and gladly like their...
I agree. It's a shame it got sidetracked.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducat Please see this link to see what an authentic ducat would look like, then look at these pieces sir. Notice...
Those are not authentic sir. I am not a collector of these per se, but I own a couple. Yours look like cheap knockoffs. The design is too...
True, but look at the scroll. The scroll is actually exceedingly a great strike, so I do not see any evidence of the weak strike sir. In my...
