MS 66 RD .....the only distracting area is whatever is beneath the ON of ONE on the reverse and it looks to have become RB over the years; a very...
After admiring these for some time, I finally acquired an example. This is also the first I've seen with dramatic toning. The brainchild of Andor...
Me? If I recall correctly, it cost $23 and I sold it for $25. All before the big upswing in the coin market of 2020-2021.
I finally found my photo. I sold my 1 oz (along with the Libertad-that is why it is in the picture) but kept the 2 oz, which has the same exact...
Some items I've bought from Kazakhstan took 2-4 weeks to arrive. That's not too bad given that I've had first class mail in the US take around 2...
I like the Perth Mint (although I was disappointed when a few of the items got milk spots-still Perth bullion is more resistant compared to...

The set continues with a bit of an outlier, Afghanistan. This was never a Soviet republic but was a country that had a communist revolution in...
Best of luck! The Panama and Latvia coins used to not make sense to grade, but with the recent market upswings those have gone up too. If the...
Areas "2" and "3" look like graffiti to me while "1" looks like hits (probably not enough on its own to cause a detail grade) [ATTACH]
I think the marks to the left and the right of the neck look like graffiti. Regardless, owning Dahlonega gold is very cool. As long as the OP...
I'm not sure why the trademark was there but PCGS was using first day of issue on their slabs in 2007 as well. Here is an article about 2007...
Condolences on your loss. That's a nice coin and a design I like as well! A coin show (especially one where you find a cool coin) is always a...
That one hits monster status...6.3
MS 64 as the cheek has a bit more chatter than is usually seen on an untoned 65 (but I could see it getting the benefit of doubt and having 65 on...
