I agree with everyone else. I have seen a few of these in person, many more in catalogs over the years, but this is easily the nicest example I...
Plus, there simply is no substitute for seeing coins in person. The best way to acclimate yourself to a series is to see a lot of them in person....
But is it "for the collectors"? Or is it for the main cleints of the TPG, mainly dealers? It is not the collectors who BUY a MS65 that is really...
I would say the subject matter sure does not look like the typical subject matter for a legal tender note. Rats scurrying about, etc. Its a very...
Go through and try to pick out, in a seven page thread, what you think are the important points? No thanks. If you actually copied or linked the...
Well for myself I do not see what Doug saw, excpet the few darker feathers on the eagles breast. This very well is probably from the angle of the...
IDK, maybe 25. I am lucky there are a few monthly shows around here, and I try to hit 4-5 larger shows each year.

But shouldn't that be correct? What is the difference between this mysterious cabinet friction, (and when was the last time you saw cabinets being...
Mint sets.
If you wait until she is 100 do they become tats?
Man, remind me to never take my coins to India. The Kushans look ok, we would need to see the reverses to see if there was any real rarities in...
While I have never seen the original, yours is 99.99999% sure its a fake. Look at the coin. Its not worn really. Now look at the engraving. Look...
I admit I am always bad seeing this light rub from pics. In hand I tilt the coin to see if the luster is broken. Want to bet a nickel its...
Where are you seeing it? Her hand, her knee, eagle head or wingtip?
