Unbelievable purchase off eBay a couple of years ago. The 1848/7 overdate seems to show up more frequently. I like this one: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes, I totally agree. However the 1982 and 1983 Costa Rica 250 colones have been on the rise for at least 5 years and just go higher and higher. I...
Wow, was I ever impressed when the bidding for this hit USD 3150 the other night and this for a silver proof of the maligned Franklin Mint (BTW, I...
OK, I recently got two coins and gave them just a bit of treatment. They are off eBay. The first is a halfcrown that I got in the hopes that it...
Agreed, and the writing on the "COA" does not indicate mint product. But it is very attractive and A LOT CHEAPER THAN THE ACTUAL GOLD NOBLE!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]I absolutely love this design that was magnified and detailed in the 1914 5 Lira but found in the 1 Lira and 2 Lira coins of the...
OK, not bad and got: "Republic of Panama Test Game" - i.e Republic of Panama Proof Set "Minted in (at) Franklin Mint"
Please see other post with "discovery" of the 1984 8 coin Panama Proof Set - Rarrisimo!!

Well nice coin, not expensive and attractive. This version may have been aftermarket “prepped”. Does anyone have more information? [ATTACH]...
Yes, we have. You come across as [best case] a curmudgeon that might well stick to his own posts. I quite agree with the above that each may...
That would be a FALSE statement. The fact that you can see the new "FIVE DOLLARS" over the old "FIVE DOLLARS" absolutely does not. You may want to...
Because they are beautiful, and well-executed & if I may say, of course you would have no idea. They are not other than as put forward and...
LOL. Well, actually it is REAL. It was over struck on an actual Five Dollar Indian. So, yes it is. And it was struck by Daniel Carr. Methinks you...
Here ya go, an actual struck USA gold $5 (* well an asterisk for a reason - what is that?): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd do it! The gold more boring and IMHO gold when struck up just does not have that "tears of the sun" appearance that native high-percentage...
This came up for auction the other day in the Heritage sale. Note that this is a series I have followed for many years and note that I have NEVER...
