This just today returned as PCGS64PL: [ATTACH]
I just obtained the following, which is not directly in my area of interest. Perhaps readers may know of other Franklin Mint coin dies or have...
This coin, in hand, has quite square edges with reeding very sharp. This was an era that the currency coins were struck without much in the way of...
None have been recorded as seen. Numbers evidently were not kept. In 25 years of collecting, I have not seen another. I lost out on the 1966...
I got this at auction about 4 months ago, and is a nice specimen. The surfaces are PL, the die work very good although no cameo. There is wire...
Yes, interesting that the Smithsonian commissioned a mint in Birmingham, UK to strike a coin whose design was sculpted by Arnold Machin (who had...
Yes, tenbobbit. That is who struck it as I read further in the enclosed literature. I have a feeling that this medal is likely much more scarce...

This is, in my opinion, the finest rendition by Arnold Machin of QE II. It is sterling silver (I think, and maybe someone can ID the...
Interest falls away on their medals, not so some of the early to mid-80s coins however (not 70s though).
I saw the 1984 Trinidad proof set from same seller with MULTIPLE bidders went 540 USD also without packaging or COA. Interestingly, the 1983 set...
Hmm, I seen some coins shown me (NOT mine) that were off quite a bit - both NGC and PCGS. I don not for a moment believe grading is independent of...
Yes, and a few much less! They are fun to chase and have not gotten outrageous. This price did surprise me though.
I was a bit surprised to see that a 1984FM Papua New Guinea Proof Set sold this morning on eBay for $1025+! This surprised me as it was only in...
You mean this one? Possibly more valuable, but certainly not as wonderfully preserved. I will still hold the OP coin out as such, even in the face...
Well, I must say the pictures although nice do not do it justice. The luster is fabulous in hand. It graded PCGS65RB, which of course I thought...

As funds for collecting dwindle, we can find some esoteric bits occasionally that are quite fun. I have been trying to run down those higher...
I can't call it as the details and rims are quite sharp, the muted colour could be toning?? Details like the furl/ropes on the sail not quite what...
Numismat - do you have one of the 1978 Royal Mint 5c? Not the FM. Or the FM uncirculated 5 and 10 dollars of 1977-80. I have never seen these...
