I freely admit a few things. One, I have a family history of hoarding, (not ruin your house with garbage "hoarding" like tv shows, but way too...
Yeah, the whole idea loses me really versus what I do. I do not want to limit my hobby by an artificial constraint, and I do not sell coins. If I...
Of course. Anyone can collect anything they want. I guess I was reacting to the idea of a "comprehensive collection representing ancient coinage"....
Agree. I saw the face and wheat first off myself, then all of the other errors the further I looked.
Mine was the prettiest coin I had ever seen up until then, (a green patina'ed, Larissa 3/4 facing bust bronze) and a crappy Parthian silver piece....
If I ever wanted to do a Box of 20, (I don't, see my post on "Parameters of your collection"), I would make sure its not so Euro centric. To me,...
- What metrics do you choose to add coins? I add coins that I find interesting. No other reason. The interest could be a myriad of reasons,...
Not an expert on these, but looks like a pot metal fantasy piece. I see tons of non-magnetic pot metal Chinese and Trade dollars at the asian markets.
Yes, I posted that link a few days ago. People posting on Alibaba are taking a risk, so please understand there are more vendors than just this...
There are some restrictions coming into the US, but thinly enforced. Most packages coming from UK are not looked at I believe. Sicily and Cyprus...
I agree sir. There are certain areas of collecting I am forced to exclusively buy on Ebay. However, before I became knowledgable I made all kinds...
"If you know what you are doing" being the key to this sentence. I see people all day long bidding stupid money on stuff, most of the time...
Cheap copy of a coin originally struck under the Confederacy. I believe 4 or 5 originals, and some restrikes made a decade later or so. Yours is...
Why do you think that? The one from Alibaba looked good, and I have seen in hand other fakes made from coated tungsten. They looked like very good...
I have dealt with them. I tried to communicate with them a few days before the close asking if someone could send me another pic of the group lot....
Well, the counterfeit I posted was a tungsten core, and like Jeff posted is so close to gold sg as to not be differentiable. So that was your...
No, I have read your assertions that how "only a major mint" could replicate such things, (did this come from a RCM press release?). I am simply...
Btw: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/American-Eagle-24k-tungsten-coin-gold_60744472455.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.472.5e401f8e6IzW6W...
I have seen the radial lines and privy mark. WHY can only a large mint fake them? Mints have forever added technology to make it harder to fake,...
Maybe I am missing something. What makes radial lines and a privy mark completely unreproducable? If you say, "sure, they can try to reproduce...
Separate names with a comma.
