If your argument held the TPG's could not grade the majority of coins they do. Forget about the silly American mints. How would it be possible to...
Yep thanks for posting that. Exactly the kind of thing I thought was going on. That coin should be in a details slab 100%. Heck it has heavy...
I actually think the scratches do go over the design features. They are just a bit more subtle. But I definitely see your point as to why they...
That's actually a pretty good observation however I don't think it can be die polish lines. This coin has a mintage of 10 or at the maximum 20 or...
All of the major auctions that wrapped up in the last few weeks had some spectacular material to be sure. However I also noticed quite a bit of...
Another example to share; Corroded yes but lovely all the same and an example that brings out the beauty of the obverse [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Hi Everyone, Here are a bunch of coins I'm interested in selling. All coins have acquired very selectively and I am freeing up space in the...
Up for sale are coins that I have handpicked over the past few years for there general quality of being a superb example of the type. If any...

It should be noted though the ducats that aren't hammered(beginning in the early 18th century I believe) have a smaller diameter than their...
A true coin collector!
Grazie; just think, other than Ducats it is simply not feasible to put together a 16th century date gold set of any other coin type. At least not...
Thanks for the kind words Chris :) That definitely means a lot especially coming from someone with a wide knowledge base like yourself.
Lovely coin Dangolf. I hope you don't mind me sharing mine with you. We can work towards putting a date set together :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I collect Albanian pretty darn heavily and I wouldn't advise going after this coin for the same reason that I'm not pursuing it. It's a problem...
Up for sale is a superb and entirely original ITALIAN Venice. Ducat, ND. Bartolomeo Gradenigo (1339-42) in a PCGS AU-53 Secure Holder. Fr-1220....
I am willing to sell these coins directly on here. I am asking 470 for the Venetian Ducat, 650 for the Pillar Dollar and 170 for the Haitian Proof...
