Most of these giant coins are worth roughly their melt value. They are more of a publicity stunt than a something that people collect. 5 Kilos...
Did you ever get around to taking better pics? I'm guessing, from what I can see, that it is a dark coin - you need to put a lot of light on it to...
I would be on the lower end of the range given, closer to $40.
I'll take the cynical approach: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'll believe you found it in a roll - but I'm going to hesitate...
I agree that this coin appears to be a proof. It has quite a few marks, and the haze is unattractive. The acetone should remove that. Once the...
Yup, some good old honest wear on that one. I think it might actually be PR-1. For a dollar, I'd say you did quite well - but it probably isn't...
Not bitter at all. Just realistic (which can sometimes come across as bitter or mean). I don't intend to - I intend to come across as straight...
Are you looking for a grade-by-grade breakdown with pictures? The ANA's grading Guide is the "standard," and QDB's "Grading Coins by Photographs"...
It took you that long? You're slipping...

No, your pictures are quite sufficient. The coin is clearly polished, has a huge palm print on the obverse, and is AU at most. Don't take it out...
Explain your question? I don't know if "most" was the right choice of word, but "some," or "much" are definitely the right ones.
I hate to be a hater... but anyone who feels the need to announce they are leaving a site because they can't handle life probably shouldn't be on...
You are missing the 36 and 37 ;) I am intrigued by the 39O. You don't normally see them toned.
Z, I always look forward to your posts, because they are filled with interesting, unusual (for me), and beautiful coins. This one is no exception.

I have never heard it called draft toning. I have always heard it called pull-away toning. There have been several people say that convincing AT'd...
Huh, I guess the luster is worse than I thought. That seems a bit low, but an in-hand evaluation might be different.
62? What the heck? What is hiding in these pictures that we can't see.
