Maybe I missed that part. IDK. To me, though, you were both wrong, (but you were not really misled since the seller posted clear pictures), you...
Exactly, which is why I find coins fascinating. To me, a countermark is a coin, just a coin struck onto another coin. There is a whole field in...
Sir, I agree with Idhair as well. The seller took good photos, enough that the buyer should have known what he was buying. In law, if both the...
5 and 3 stand out to me, and if forced to guess I would say 3. Doug is right, there is no real "proof". I dislike the terms AT and NT. AT can...
Nah, if that were the case I would already have been on the show. Great thing about coins is how little space they take up, even when they number...
Btw Gnomey, yes you are correct. In China the preferred form of silver was Mexican 8 reales. Heck, the Mexicans went back to 8 reales denomination...
Personally, and just personally, I love countermarked coins, but not bankers marks. I would consider chop marks to be modern day bankers marks....

Yeah, I agree.
I agree it looks good. It's a better type than the later ones. Good pickup. :)
So do I sir. I posted here a month ago in the 18's I thought silver was fairly valued, and I bought some. I am simply posting this since some here...

Who said that? I have a car dealer I like and go back to him. Why are you assuming I do not like them? Every profession has to deal with the...
So, for your list: 1. Identifying fakes will take a while. Best to stick with dealers we can recommend to you, or have us look at pics before you...
I don't give a darn you used to be a car dealer. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I was simply using the analogy most commonly used by the...
Sir, do you go into a car dealership and assume the only reason the car dealer is saying something is for your benefit? You do not discount...
Really? "“The real value of silver is far from being realized,” said Andrew Chanin, chief executive officer of PureFunds, which offers the...
Lol yep. Reminds me of a story about stocks. You see all kinds of recommendations for stocks, and same thing. If they were so sure why tell...
Maybe, maybe not Doug. I used to be able to buy three or four pretty AU capped bust halves for the price of one that would grade 62, (ok maybe 63...
Well I was assuming things like outright damage were excluded Doug. I was considering more wear versus non-wear issues like soft strike, bag...
