Eh, i don't care since its in the sdb anyway. Maybe $2000, mostly junk silver. Real coins do not add up to squat face value.
I admire it as well. You would probably be one of three or four dealers who have the guts to actually say this Matt.
Hmmm, I guess others will need to answer this. The only other idiosyncrasy I remember offhand are the Byzantine XXXX coins, but they are unusual...
Yours didn't mention that? Funny, mine covered that it can go either way. I guess I didn't really think much about it.
I would say possibly tooled and/or smoothed. Smoothed is not a great crime, and is not looked on as poorly as tooling, but still. I bet you it...
Never said that sir. I just wanted to remind everyone its not the TPG that makes a coin X grade. It always was X grade, a TPG just confirms it and...
One tiny disagreement. They COULD be 70's, we don't know. Just because a coin is raw doesn't change a grade. A coin's grade is there long before a...
No one said he wasn't free to spend his money as he wished, the OP asked if we would pay that for it. I agree, I have overpaid for coins that...
I agree with you Marshall. Nice problem free higher grade coin is a better choice for investment. Your coin is one only a true numismatist can...
I have always thought gaming that would be something a guy could do. Take some of the coins "rare" is AG and make them pocket pieces. A few years...

Fantastic coin Doug. I sure would have bought it as well. I have never seen one of these types.
I agree its a scummy dealer, and maybe the AG might want to see if he would do it again to another victim in a sting. I also believe, however,...
I think it has done two things simultaneously, so I am not quite sure what the net effect will be. One, it has made it much easier to buy from...
Interesting. Coins in Lydia started the same way. They never saw them before because they are about the size of a grain of sand, but now they have...
I would say 50/50 or better. The ads in there are not like NN of CW, they are simply advertising the dealer's name, more like the Celator has....
True, I am betting these guys with their big fancy Ptolemy's have tiny little Pescunnius Nigers. :)
I did it simply because I wished to further the hobby, and they help lobby for collector's rights. The Numismatist is an alright magazine. It...
Yeah, I like the business model. I was kind of bummed when I learn Heritage was a private firm, unable to be invested in.
Shhhhh Paddy! Do you want everyone to find out how fun these are?
