Compare the thickness/thinness of the fonts, and look at the serifs. Noticeable differences.
The price alone screams fake . . . and so do the fonts on both sides when I compared it to a real one. Probably other discrepancies as well, but...
Smart move and money well spent. If a coin is worth keeping, it's worth protecting.
@Ag76, I have a collection of close to 50 silver world coins I regard as my crown collection, all from the 19th and early 20th century. My...
Buy low, sell high. That's all there is to it.
I like what you have going on here, Shrews. The 28 and 34 are excellent examples of coins that have given a lifetime of service to their country,...
Don't hold your breath.
That's a 4-hour drive for me, counting stops along the way. I often have the best intentions of attending out-of-town shows in the region, but...
I know that's the standard response to the idea of minimum post counts. Would newbies TRY to threadjack? Yes, but only once . . . IF members are...

Well then, it'll need to be one of those oversized 'coffee table' books.
Simply imposing a minimum post count before starting a thread would help lessen the problem.
Are there any of us who DIDN'T do that as a kid?
The book would practically write itself. Just collect all the error threads that get posted here on CT.
I realize I'm quoting a post from way back in 2011 but this is the first time I've seen the thread and had to respond to this: Well put, and a...
Also well put. Yeah, I think things get muddled when people allow PM investing and coin collecting to overlap. No reason a person can't pursue...
Disappointing. Was hoping for tales of high adventure.
In my opinion, no. Should you take that coin to a dealer to sell it, he's not going to care about the exotic finish, beautiful box or COA. He'll...
