That's a scream ! :D I just had to throw down a vote for "that's the shizzie". Maybe Weird Al Yankovic will have a song called "turkey necked...
Ouch ! That is sad. Exceeded only by that proof 1838 Gobrecht S$1 someone had artificially toned (shown on CT a while back). Nauseating. At...
Could well be. For comparison, here's a nice Liberty Cap up on Teletrade... I think Eduard's has more detail....
Mighty nice for VG ! I'm sure it's at least F-12 maybe better, at least on the obverse. Lots of detail in that hair. Nice work !
Liberty is a goddess, not a god. 2,500 years ago, the Greeks knew something we try to pretend isn't true : Women have always been more free...
Take a look at Teletrade's offerings, survey the field, compare with prices at shows, dealers, e-bay, and Heritage and see for yourself....
That's not the way I understood it. If raw, you can't use a numerical grade - but you can still list. But I'm not defending e-bay. I agree this...

VF25 details, cleaned, net F12 Nice ! I love the old stuff. Thanks for the pics.
Great thread, Jim. You've done us all a great service. Thanks ! Question for the forum : Slabs are porous to some extent. They aren't completely...
Dude, I TOTALLY agree. What in the ... ? Wha....? Here's what gets me about that. Assuming it's genuine, and I think it is, what the heck was it...
Yep. But it might not be for many years down the line when they try to sell and gets The Bad News. Or if it passes to their heirs who might...
Yep, this one's outrageous, all right. But one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch. And this coin isn't even graded. Even if it was,...
Cool ! So now the trick is finding aged walnuts. I hear those from 1802 are best. :goof: Maybe E-bay !
No one is suggesting anyone would accept 1 peso for 1 dollar. My point was that they don't accept them as legal tender even AFTER adjusting for...
Pretty piece ... I love 'em. Howza 'bout VF35 cleaned. Maybe XF40.
