Btw sir, a couple of things. One, that date actually looks like 1873. They made threes back then very ornate. Second, I would reiterate to get a...
I tell you what TIF, that first pic of Quagmire is not too far off the mark. I am sure all of us here love looking at Triton auctions, Gemini,...
To me, its a pretty scary fake. Look at the reverse, nothing weird going on here. Now, the obverse, the edge of the obverse die deviates from the...
Man, with all of these issues, I sure wish I had scheduled a lot more snipes for today.
Maybe their login controller is down. I can access the home page, but when I click login it cannot display the page.
Rare coins are rare. What you want to buy is what everyone has always wanted to buy. These coins are out there, but most are owned by collectors...
Most likely yes, but "cleaned" and "harshly cleaned" are two different things. Still has decent luster. If no cleaning scratches it might be...
True, but for some of us its more "examine once a decade versus put in a box and never look at it while they live". :)
I like Doug's idea if you want something immediately. I am kind of curious why patterns? If you did not KNOW what regular production coinage...
I find that a 10x is adequate most of the time. It will depend on your eyesight. I am very near sighted, so have excellent near vision. If yours...
Sure look odd for silver. Usually silver is black coming out of the ground. Being green, I have to assume debased silver with copper if they are...
Nothing wrong with that sir. I never meant to demean your coin, just bringing up how different looking coins can be worth similar. There is a...
We should all hope for hyperinflation over deflation. Both are bad, but deflation eats away at your economic core. Look at Japan.
They were not found protected in pots, but loose finds. If copper coins are lost in acidic soil they will look like that, (or worst). This is very...
I would hold back half the stack. I wish I had bought a few more of them, just buying a few at the time. I can never see these bringing huge...
Very, very bad fake. Whoever made it knows nothing of US coins really. Sorry.
Maybe I am assuming his surfaces are normal circulated surfaces from the period. It appears so from his pics. I have a few dozen similar coins in...
Not bad, but then again there is a tradeoff between detail and surfaces. I prefer the OP's surfaces to yours, so in my view they are similar.
Nice VG. You cannot read liberty, (btw the word liberty should be readable easily, I used to use a loupe or squint my eyes, but that is not the...
Correct, but all of Thierry's publications I believe are in French. I would be the first to line up and buy them if in English. I just dislike...
Separate names with a comma.
