But it does matter sir, that is my major objection in the first place. Am I worried many $1000 coins will try to be used? Not particularly....
Personally I would go for a whiter example. The only trade dollar I own was cleaned. I just picked it up out of boredom one day to have a type. It...
My only comment Krispy would be Mr. Carr says he tells people that these are not legal tender, and tells them they should not be used that way....

I simply disagree Krispy. I will leave it at that due to my respect for you and not post further. Chris
Just like they will usually not pay normal rates when buying and they believe prices are high and will come down. These actions are almost always...
Why not? Listen, its your collection. You collect what you like. ALl of the talk about cleaned coins and the like here is to simply make sure...
Yes sir I understand. I was simply comparing these in my head to Celtic issues who did the same thing. They did not understand who the person was...
I don't blame him really. You ever notice when you burn something that you can still read it? The Sogdian Letters, our best insight into 7th...
Yes, Mr Hendin does a very good job with his Biblical coin series. My only "gripe" is that by making multiple editions, he thereby removes most...
I don't think I know more Doug, but I have some examples that may fit in between your styles or at the end. Personally, I would like to see the...
Personally on the 1911 I see an AU, but with grading today who knows. Btw even going from 62 to PCGS 62 is a big leap in value. Numistrust 62's do...
I like these coins a lot. They were from remnants of Sassanian local rulers who fled into India. I have them from ones looking mostly like...
Ok sir, fair enough I will. Btw the law I would be worried about would be simple counterfeiting. I know its not a copy of an existing coin, but it...
Yes sir it does. Well, with all of those face marks, (even with a clean reverse), it doesn't look like it would have gone better than a 62 to...
So you think the long scratch was the handling damage? Other than that looks like a normal silver dollar from the era. These dang things weigh...
They usually have all ancients and world coins covered, but of course they usually bring their better stuff to these shows, since its expensive to...
I say the front is borderline F/VF, but reverse F. Very lifeless, though. The hard part to know is if the coin is better in hand. Photography can...
I do not mean to pick on Mr. Carr more than I already have, but is that coin legal? I mean, can anyone strike a coin that has a stated dollar...
Yep. In 1995 I was paying $65 or more for an uncleaned, good VF. I simply cannot imagine they are the same price now. I bet the redbook is...
