From those photos, which bear a great resemblance to Great Southern Coins, the coin appears to be uncirculated. Whether the coin is actually mint...
Given that I rarely sell on E-Bay I feel compelled to ask this question. Is that rule really to protect the collector or to increase E-Bay...
Since the three posts that followed this were exclamations of how great Doug's post was, I am sure my opinion will be unpopular. Doug, are you...
I was waiting for someone to point that out. I do indeed think the coin is over-graded and no way does it deserve the star designation. My...
I have found that numismatic photography is almost as rewarding of a hobby as coin collecting itself. I imagine collectors who are interested in...

A few suggestions The overall clarity of the photos is good but the lighting needs to be adjusted. First, you are not going to get results with...
That is a very impressive coin with superb photographs. Congratulations on your milestone! Although you wife obviously doesn't care, I am sure...
I bought mine from Heritage in 2005 and paid a little over $500 for it. [IMG] Enjoy!
I think we should put him on the $50 note and every other denomination as well. Then change the name of the country to Reaganland. A different...
From the Heritage auction archives, it seems that the 1964-D DDR is the biggest variety in the series. The green insert toned gem that sold last...
