I agree with Race. We have a "gentlemen's, (and ladies), agreement" here to not poach others coins. However, there are way moer people who read...
It all goes back to the wrong decision in the early days of US coin collecting. Back then, they decided for some unknown reason wear is the worst...
Chris, the same solicitations were also sent in the 80's, the 70's, etc etc. The "predictions" have always been the same, regardless of market...
Yes, very Mexican looking. I thought the same.
I am not going to pretend to be an expert on gold coin wear, but let's take this back to morgans. You have seen bag marked morgans. Do those marks...

When is that supposed to drop Jim? I have been considering that one. I know the shenanigans played in Asia, but feel there would be money to be...
Once you learn how modern coins are manufactured, it will be clear to you WHY double headed coins are fakes. They physically cannot be made since...
In US grading you are correct. For other coins a weak strike is irrelevant, the grade is simply a function of what percentage of the design...
Yeah, really. I consider myself a fairly strict grader, not Doug strict, but stricter than most here I imagine. I wish they simply grade like...
The most interesting fact on anonymous bronzes to me was that they were depictions of Christ from famous churches all over the empire. Most of...
I agree. I would strongly disagree with any negative. Both of you were wrong.
