Numismatic wive's tale perpetuated by newspapers around the time they were about to discontinue the coin. Barber commented on it, saying there...
Yep. They were selling them around the time of the bicentennial I know of, along with other stamps on cents with bicentennial themes. My...
I have to admit the more I think about this post the more insulted I am. Exactly why are those of us who know how to grade and authenticate...
Not bad for an AE example. I don't know what prices they usually run though.
Don't worry Marshall, some collectors simply need their hands helds by the nice little TPG people a little longer than others........ :)
Have a nice weekend yourself sir, and never good riddance. If we didn't have any disagreements, this would be an awfully boring board. :)
Well said. If I wish to write a check for a 5 figure coin, (no easy feat for me either), I would know the seller, see the coin in hand, before...
The only danger sir I see is not seeing the forest for the trees by using too high of magnification. Overly magnify a coin and you can miss tell...
Better? I guess I am the stupid one, I crack out nearly every coin I get in a slab, including NGC, (PCGS doesn't do ancients). I don't consider a...
Yeah.....like maybe both actually adhere to ANA standards. I know, I am a hopeless dreamer. @wingedliberty, I am just wondering if you feel...

"Make room"? Do you mean budgetarily or physically? That is one of the greatest aspects of coins, you can hoard away and not take up much space....
Cool comparison! I remember the first time going to a show as a kid. The coolest thing was being able to see in person gold coins, half dimes,...
I understand, but I have seen imitative issues that I thought the workmanship and overall quality was higher than many official issues. Remember,...
Looks barbaric to me. Trust me, an official issue written in Greek would not have been very popular. I don't see greek lettering really, more...
http://search2.vcoins.com/results.aspx?suid=c41b13a6-4587-42a4-be06-2fd2083232e6 Nice coins. I wonder if someone found a small hoard. Its...
Fairly rare that condition especially. Remember this was a war of rebellion that only lasted for a few years in a small Roman province. The coins...
Personally, if you know its fake I would never even try to make a couple of bucks on whether its silver or not. Silver is too easy to imitate SG,...
