Whats wrong with it? The bronze disease?
Its Hobo! Welcome back buddy!
IDK, $50k is not that much in coins nowadays. I could see how he easily had that much in a car. Coins are pretty small, it gets kinda scary...
Sorry but all I see is an AG lincoln cent. I own a barber quarter with no legends whatsoever, they have been worn off. Wear is not a mint error....
Like others here, to me it appears that someone shaved the date off years ago, and it has retoned over the area. If it were a grease filled die,...
Fair enough sir, but I would categorize you as making money dealing in coins, not collecting coins. Anyone actively running auctions to sell, and...
They should have went with a bigger nose. She was Greek after all, and many ancient portraits have her sporting a larger scnoz. I guess I am...
Nice, from the Gallienus menagerie. Do you attempt to get the whole series? They are popular. Chris
Good information. I do not know much about those issues. I would agree PVC on any kind of collectible coin would be bad. Do you feel PVC on...

Maybe for world coins, but for ancients its either XF, gXF, or FDC, (something I don't know if I would ever have the nerve to claim on a coin I...

I wasn't arguing that, I was arguing the chart from its inception has been distorted to make investors believe coins are just as valid an...
I believe you could use soap and water. The only caveat I would have is while they are in contact with the soap leave them in the water, and when...
Also, just as an aside, I have always called shenanigans on that chart. The "PCGS 3000" has always been weighted heavily in high grade, high...
Well, solder is usually silver colored, and solder melts so there should not be a seam where is connects to the coin. I would bet the "sprues"...
I would guess the dime used to be attached to something else and those "casting marks" are solder or another way it was attached. Casting sprues,...
I agree, but its not the reality of coins when it comes to grading. Grading should be done with the naked eye, but when we start needing help I...
