I think that lack of luster sir is showing you it was dipped at least once. A coin in that grade should have much more. Its attractive, nice...
Wife will be within a few miles, but not sure if she actually wants to go to the show though. :(
Sounds great, but I am not always at home, and am just one man with a wife and young kids. I am not going to say no to a home invader if its a...
I would say if its a generic $10 no way it slabs, but given the date its a coin flip. I have seen worst rare coins get slabbed, in all likelihood...
You will find me back in the teeny tiny coin geek area, (Ancient and Foreign), unless I wander out to meet CT members roaming around. :)
Plus add in those with D or those without MM's. If memory serves there were 7 varieties, I just do not remember which one was not made. OP,...
Btw, anyone else notice that coin is not an XF? its an AU all day long IMHO. The reason I mention that is two fold; one, did PCGS net grade this...

Mine is simply a coin from the Lanna Kingdom in northern Thailand, about 1300 AD. My wife is from northern Thailand, and I have started a...
I think people were simply commenting on how many investors always do the wrong thing. This trend is so common as to be one of my most important...
Yes sir, I am "lucky" I worked 50 hours a week and paid my own way through college, I am "lucky" I paid $50k for my graduate degree, and I am...
Dang Longnine, am I feeling weird today or is it you? I completely agree with your post in every way. In fact, I have written similar on here as...
