Put the open end face down on a towel. Hit the coin from the other side with a heavy plastic object (spatula would work) and the coin should pop...
I've handled numerous of these early European types and you generally don't see too many counterfeits. Usually when you do, it is easy to tell...
They told me a few years ago that it was because "they just can't attend all the shows everywhere". Seems kind of stupid to not attend when your...
Two recent purchases for my collection: [IMG] Circa 1720-S.B.F. Switzerland Beromeunster 1/2 Taler NGC MS65PL. Struck to commemorate the 1000th...
I truly appreciate people like you who have nice coins and sell them without slabbing them first. If it wasn't for people like you, I wouldn't...
I wouldn't call the haze heavy. It appears to be light on the obverse and light-to-medium on the reverse. Given that the coin is graded DCAM and...
So a coin with nearly flawless surfaces, but some light haze should grade only PR61? Haze should only knock 1-2 points off a grade max.
Picked this up raw at the NYINC show. Just mind blowing condition for this type coin. These heavily circulated and to find one in this condition,...
A Mexico Revolutionary coin from the state of Oaxaca. While a large percentage of the coins from Oaxaca are common, the rectangle coins (1c & 3c)...
For these in typical condition or this insane condition? Typical condition you can get these for $300 in low proof to $500 in gem. For grades...
Three extremely different, somewhat recent purchases for my diverse personal collection. [IMG] 1624 Germany Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Neuenstein...
I deal in high grade world coins with my largest section being German coins. I can say confidently that I have slabbed and sold more top pop...
For some unknown reason, I've got quite a few rare Luxembourg items. [IMG] A 1946 John the Blind 100F in Proof. While common in mint state,...
Regular tier dealer fees are around 5% lower than the Elite Membership. For a very short period of time some services were actually slightly...
The initial 5% offer would not be for high value items. It'd be for a much smaller consignment. People who have these high value coins know that...
Moderate to most companies would likely be a $15K-$50K consignment. Other factors like the type of coins and whether you will be placing a reserve...
There is no reason at all why a seller would pay the full 15% sellers fee when there is also a 15% buyers fee. The only sellers that would pay...
In theory, it is what the auction company collects to sell the item. In reality, it is just a way for bidders to lose track of exactly how much...
This just came back from PCGS: [IMG] I didn't check the Pop Report, but I suspect this is the only non-modern German coin to ever grade MS69.
A few of my Boston ANA purchases. [img] 1680 Germany Harz Baptism Taler. Large planchet. [img] 1730 Germany Harz Baptism Taler....
