Thanks for posting the thread! Great first example. I've got a killer to go second, when this is done. And, I'll say - no CAC on that! CAC...
I'd say that Columbian is definitely star worthy.
I'll bet they wouldn't. They aren't numismatic experts, especially in classic coins. Their business is modern counterfeits and its effects on the...

These new pics make it look even more like intentional damage. While reedmarks can and do occur, three parallel sets of nearly uniform marks like...
Yes, I suspect Mr. Rodney and his horse have been dead for quite a few years ;) And, if that's a 68, then I might not be surprised to see the...
