Here in the south, a glass of sweet tea and a book on my porch are just what I want after a long day of work. I spend a lot more time on my...
Cool collection. Some of those are in pretty rough shape, but it is neat that you were able to do the whole thing affordably.
Do you have pictures of what it looked like before cleaning? What method did you use to clean?
I have gotten a couple of books in foreign languages, because they are pretty much the only references on series I was interested in. These books...
Personally, I think the coin in the OP is an ugly POS, and you did well by not buying it.
There are some sweet coins in this thread! Congrats to everyone.
I wouldn't recommend selling your set unless you are tired of the coins, not interested, or want to use the money to pursue something else. It...
I was bidding in the Heritage auctions, but I didn't win anything. I really wanted this one:...
No, that is definitely plausible. However, if someone was messing with it, svarog should see some evidence of that. Since he says he doesn't, it...
If someone had filed or chipped the OP's coin to remove the patina, there would be some signs of this damage. The picture in the OP is out of...
How in the heck did they come up with questionable color? There's no color on there to be questionable! That's an utterly ridiculous result from PCGS.
Did someone summon me? Hmmm.... shakes magic 8 ball.... I always find it somewhat irrelevant to guess what the TPGs would have graded it. The...
Owning a unique coin is a singular experience. Congrats!
Hmmm.... I realize that first part was sarcasm, Sallent, but I think I agree more with that part of your post. Those are nice coins, for what they...
I'm a noob, so take my opinion lightly, but the style of the OP's piece feels wrong. I'm looking particularly at the eyes, ribbon, hair,...
They definitely have been treated with something. My understanding is that some don't mind the look, but I'm not a huge fan of it myself.
Eh, just need a little focus, some time, and a bit of patience. I don't think I buy quite as many coins as you, but I've definitely fallen a few...
I've always wondered how much room an auction house has to negotiate. There is a "make an offer" button on unsold Heritage lots, but I've never...
I can recall the local news coming out and doing a segment on the small show here in town. That was cool.
The obverse is nice, but it looks like somebody puked on the reverse. Not a whole lot of hits, but I'm going to top out at 64 on this one, I think.
