I have no idea what the first side is supposed to be, but the second side is a poor imitation of an ancient Jewish coin. My guess is an older copy...
Have a nice day.
??? I was simply trying to say that a collector should know how to grade and identify problems regardless of whether they like slabs or not. None...
I meant you can lay out 3 1881s MS 64 Morgans PCGS slabbed coins side by side, and there can be considerable price differences for them. The whole...
Doug's post is spot on, though if you wanted to know I would think the middle coin is the most valuable, maybe $20, while the top one is maybe $8...
Good to know thank you. I will probably be traveling to SE Asia in a few months and always need to know what our newest bills are.
Sir, I would recommend then to learn how to identify cleaned, bent, environmental damage, and grading yourself. Relying on TPG is dangerous,...
I agree, any certification is just providing some protection as to what the coin is, its no guarantee of value.
Sad, Cyrene coins are one of my favorites, and something like this will probably lead to a ban on imports. I am all for catching the losers who...
No sir, you are not incorrect, and I agree that 15 years ago may have been an unusual case. I was simply pointing it out so everyone here has a...
Yes, I thought that too Lindedad. I should have notated that assumption in my post, thank you.

I was buying silver 15 years ago, trust me an ounce of silver would NOT buy 10 gallons of gas. More like 3. You are correct commodities hold...
What is interesting to me is how the rest of the coin looks pretty worn. That by itself is rare. Given that, and the nature of this damage, I do...
There is a very good chance that any in existence now reside in MS62 holders. :) Chris
Slippinin, I have read this thread and I think maybe you misunderstand a point Doug made. He said the banks pay for these coins. He is not, (not...
Brg is right, if you wish to ask our opinions we will need to see a close up of the mintmark area. However, the graders are extremely proficient...
But Statequarterguy is correct. I believe the standard for 70 is clean at 5x. Its a danger in collecting actually. The higher the magnification...
Synoptic, I am sure they were just reminding you that politics and religion do not belong on this board. These are explosive issues, and are not...
Goldmember, I would simply state for the record that Chris is a huge asset here, and everyone would be wise to listen to him. I don't see him as...
