Maybe next he will "overstrike" some chain cents and "improve" them.
Man, sorry I missed the story. So the mint catches heat for their handling of the 2011 set, and then they do THIS? Are they intentionally trying...
Nice overall analysis Doug. I would not argue if someone called it a gF, but I am afraid both of us are somewhat dinosaurs in today's grading...
Seriously Chris, do you really want to have Doug be an ornery cuss for another decade here just to overcome your, "Doug isn't such a mean guy"...
Please forgive my ignorance, as I do not keep up with modern issues as much. So, the mint marketed this special 2 coin set, at a premium, to...
Well, I would be in between you guys. I would say aVF for the coin. Yes only the higher points are worn, but worn very flat. I would not pay VF...
I agree with Bill, but I wouldn't be a buyer at that price. While I am willing to overlook a lot, (one can simply look at my collection to know...
I know a lot of salesmen say this, but there IS such a thing as good debt and bad debt. Good debt is a home mortgage, student loans used...

Yeah, that government packaging is brutal. I always wondered why all mints believe they are adding so much value with packaging when we are COIN...
I think the sellers photos makes it look like its been cleaned and maybe environmental damage. IDK if it does, but the photos could lead you to...
I have a few, but I think I am busy enough for now with Sassanid, Sogdian, Kushan, Skythian, etc. Never know though, I have been known to be...
The condition is what makes this so rare. I don't even think most book plates of this coin is as clear as this coin is for Bes' portrait. Nice.
Man, THAT is a pretty coin. I really love the toning on the obverse. It almost looks like the sunset is colorized! Outstanding!
ALways remember large cents/colonials are on the dividing line between US coins and things like ancients. What I mean by that, (and not trying...
So can we play a game of "which of these things is not like the others?" I am not meaning metal..... :) Very pretty coins btw. I have always...
There aren't that many really. I have had one in my hands that may go for a million, (Syracuse signed by Kimon), but other than that just behind a...
