Please let me know what you find out! I have a handful of coins that need to be reholdered, but I have not done so because I assumed I would have...
I was under the impression that the coin would have to be regraded as the guarantee is likely expired (it's limited to 10 years for copper,...
The French pattern pieces of this era usually catch my eye, and more often than not, they are beautifully toned. If I had unlimited funds, I might...
I have been slowly building a “black cabinet” of contemporary counterfeit Soho pieces over the last year or so, and I just acquired an odd example...
Although I find the design intriguing, the toning is what captures my attention. I love the look of natural blue-toned copper/bronze.
@expat was very close. This is a 1 Lepton coin from the Ionian Islands (1834-1862). The link he provided was for the 2 Lepta piece. Here is the...
I’d grade it a VG-10, but I wouldn’t be shocked by a F-12.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m genuinely excited for you to get this coin in hand. You may need to dim your lights before you look at it. :)

Yet another great read. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us!
The 1928 Irish proof sets often do have hairlines, but based on the images you provided, it appears these have been severely mishandled. @Mountain...
I have a backlog of coins that I need to photograph, but for now, here are two of my more recent purchases. The 1799 piece is in an old "No-Line...
Admittedly, I am not as familiar with the Air-Tite holders, so I will have to look into all of this and see which will work best for me. Thank you...
I had thought about Air-Tite holders, but I assumed they would have the same issue described with the Quadrum XL holders. Both of the new medals...
A much-awaited package arrived today with a couple of new medals for my collection. The new additions are relatively large (i.e., 56 mm & 63 mm)...
