This thread was entertaining. That is all.
That is a very attractive coin. Old-time coins like this (especially in good grades, like this one) usually spent large portions of their lives in...
There were only 10 proofs made. I STRONGLY doubt that this is one of them - the odds are not in your favor.
Yes, there is evidence of casting. However, that wasn't even what I first noticed. The coin is definitely a fake, with a large number of...
I don't know what you people are seeing/not seeing. The Blakesley effect is very clear, 180 degrees opposite the clip. I see nothing at all about...
They can tone any color. This is just a toning spot. It's not attractive.
Why on earth would you keep that? It is banged up, corroded, growing green stuff, and its worth 5 cents. Spend it.
I don't know anything about these. But, Fugios are cool!
I'd say its a 63 with a shot at 64. The luster looks weak, the mark on her cheek brings the grade down, and there are some serious looking reed...
As mentioned, this coin is nowhere near FB. It appears to be a low grade unc, one that would probably sell for $4 or $5.
The OP is asking about Libertad's, which are bullion. You posted a Cuahtemoc and started talking about them. They are not Libertads. In US...
It's up to you, of course, but people usually post the grade within a day or so. Any sooner, and you don't give people enough time to see and...
Millions. The census numbers are not considered accurate, not even close. Especially rare coins, where there are very few coins graded, the...
I'm not seeing enough mirror for PL in these pictures, but its possible. 89 is pretty common for PL Kennedies.
Not gonna lie, those dinosaurs are actually pretty cool. I wouldn't spend a hundred bucks on it, of course, but they are cool.
I don't necessarily see evidence of cleaning on this coin. I wouldn't have a problem buying this coin, from the pictures. And I also highly...
TomB and Sir Messy are making some really good points here, and they should be listened to.
A fantastic idea! Each subforum will be practically dead, robbing the site of the feel of vibrancy it has. We can have separate subforums in the...
Yes, rattlers pre-date the use of the FBL designation. As many have said, NGC looks at both sets of lines. It definitely won't make it at NGC....
Very interesting pointers, and great stories.
