I agree. Sorry but the photos do look like cast fakes, and the first coin is a very heavily faked coin especially. It is Judea Capta with...
One other thing I would recommend is that once you get all of the standard books bought, (and these are excellent recommendations), do not think...
Good post. I think these posts are healthy here in the PM section just for making everyone think why they are accumulating PM's. I myself bought...
I wasn't clear. I saw the things that were missing but to me a couple of other areas, like the wreath and face, looked like VG details to me, not...
Well at age 15 so will still benefit from the education from the magazine, besides the NGC benefits. Knowledge equals money and increased...
I agree. Anything at an auction is fair, be it too high or too low. I haven't seen the coin, so maybe its a very nice coin and the buyer cannot...

Holy Batman is this an old thread! Lol, I am glad someone resurrected it, it is a good discussion. I myself have seen a lot of encouraging...
