I did the math last night too. But does the 5% requirement mean pure gold? "Gold fill" seems like a nebulous term. 10k is going to be less than...
Agreed. Sometimes it just boils down to bidder insanity. The Gen 1.2 holder is common according to PCGS. I see the coin as fairly graded - there...
Same. I was wondering whether you might be watching or bidding on that one, since you expressed interest in obtaining one (above). It's a common...
I detect sarcasm.
@justafarmer @messydesk Following up again on the "beer belly B" for 1909, I was watching one on GC in MS63 but it quickly got too rich for my...
Yes, I previously purchased an AU58 example. I thought it might be interesting to have an MS example to compare the two in hand to see if there's...
The subject coin sold for $317 with buyer's premium. PCGS price guide in MS63 is $175; in MS64 $325. @justafarmer I was watching it because it's...
Years ago I ran into some correspondence on NNP regarding the Layfayette dollar. They were apparently going to send the coinage dies to Paris....
You made me dump out my foreign coin jar to see if I had a Greek owl, but nope. I think all I have is this replica on a tie clip from grandpa. Go...
Someone did a massive bulk submission and got a special label. Quickly hopping around NGC verify there are at least 400 each of them in the...
These Native American scrapers have nearly identical cutting edges, ergonomic shapes, and a "hook" at the lower left that I'm guessing served some...
The criteria is "equal value" though. So i'm having trouble thinking of an ugly coin with only 10-75 known whose value is equal to a "beautiful"...
Interesting article. One aspect got my attention - the fact that the example COA Denver die only produced 67,125 nickels and the expectation was...
I see that a few other coins I'm tracking are in this "early coins showcase" auction. The auction isn't for another 3 weeks but I'll look at the...
“People want this. 172 people are watching this.” So much humor here.
I've seen those "early holder" auctions pop up but never paid them any attention. It either comes up as a coin I'm looking for or it doesn't. :)
And for Valentine's Day, Loveland CO, where they'll re-mail your card with the Loveland postmark.
Down to $65.65 today before rallying a bit to $70.75. It's interesting to watch when you have no skin in the game I guess.
Only one response (@geekpryde ) so far definitively says it's the OGH slab itself that's desirable, and most of the others say it's the perception...
I should have said that normally it's a $125-170 coin in the grade given. Currently the bid is right in that range. It's a common coin. Hard to...
Separate names with a comma.
