Actually an extremely good guess. It would also explain why the marks are not in the rims like I observed earlier, as turning up the rim should...
Yeah, but I was doing it without books and I don't specialize in these. :) If I can hijack the thread a second, when did they start using DN? I...
If I may ask a question. I thought PMD could occur at the mint. I was always taught that non-PMD occurred all of the way up until the coin was...
Ok, hate to be a jerk, (but those who know me it doesn't bother me that much), but on the reverse are those scratches above and to the left of...
And, how are you supposed to be able to open up the airtight and handle your coins? ...oh, sorry, I forgot US collectors weren't allowed to...
There you go OP, definitive attribution from someone who is much better than I to know. :) The london mint makes a more special coin, btw.
Yeah, the obverse is easy, made to look like a 4th century Roman, (maybe Constantine). The reverse is from an ancient jewish coin from when the...
4th century Roman, looks like Maximianus to me, but its not my specialty. Post it in the ancient section and I bet you get your answer in 5...
My browser must be broken, I don't see any pictures. :(
I agree this is a huge concern. Basically the politicians are mortgaging the Fed. About the only thing we can hope for is economic growth...
Heck I trust both of you guys for coppers over most anyone here. :) Op you sure got some good experts to post on your thread.
Yeah, you ran into my problem with different sized coins. Add into that ancients can be either extremely thick, or extremely thin, and don't have...
I wasn't disagreeing with that outlook. If its simple as that I agree, I was simply trying to say "always buy the best you can afford" is NOT...
tsk, tsk, (no sales of things on the regular forums guys :)) I feel your pain Zeke. I have bought so many stupid supplies that didn't work out...
Doug is completely right that in the past people did original research to document number of items known based upon auction catalogs, sales...
I guess I missed the part about you doing other non-destructive tests first. I would suggest looking at the thread started a week or so ago...
This could cut both ways on an argument. One could say if it precludes it being a file it probably isn't adjustment marks, but one could equally...
One thing that puzzles me, the scratches, (adjustments), appear to not touch the edge. Am I missing something? How could the file not touch the...
Sorry if I was unclear. Would you say to always buy the 67 if the rest of his collection was 65's? What if he could physically afford the 67...
There was a video llink posted in another thread a week or so. They had to cut into fake maple leafs fairly far to see the fake core. It can...
