Fair enough sir. I bought 5 sets of the ASE's but still am sure I am short overall. If you count me buying a couple thousand ounces of silver at...
Btw Doug Smith of CT has a lot of information on coin photography for those who don't know that: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/
Excellent posts. To me it proves a photo of a coin can never be relied on for either authoritative grading, or authentication. I would have called...
As usual I missed it. :( Thanks for setting me straight Randy. :)
So are you just going to leave us hanging Doug?
Very true sir, but I see many of these have bad horn silver coming out of the ground. I am not thinking they are trying to make them shiny more...
If its for an estate and no one wants them, take them to a coin show and get three or four offers for the lot. If its common stuff like bags of...
AU 55. I am guessing they gave it a pass on the cleaning, even though its too harsh for my taste. Nice strike though. :) Edit: Lol, sorry...
Actually I have an opinion to ask this group. What would you do in my situation: 5 sets graded, of the two keys, 5 s's 70, but only 1 RP 70. Of...
Just like you tried to shoot down Cloudsweeper asking him if he even owned bullion and why does he continue to post on threads about bullion? Is...
If I am wrong I will of course retract what I said. Maybe my memory was wrong Rlm. Sorry. I just remembered, (perhaps wrongly), that the 63 was...
Martin, you really collect some beautiful coins. Great taste. I have to admit every time I see Kyme I start to get excited since one of my...
Ace, I would think long term you will be happier with fewer but nicer coins. With that in mind I would do exactly what Gbroke does, take your...
You are? If you factor in inflation, (or time value of money), and had to sell today, you would be ahead? I doubt I would be. Its easy to be ahead...
The better dips sir you do not know they were ever dipped. That is why you do not see it. Again, not advocating it for everyone, but the truth is...
You should learn Jason. Get some dip, get some crummy, blackish toned junk silver, and practice. The day will come sir when you buy an old coin in...
Dipping, like Doug pointed out, can be used to preserve coins. I commisurate with Tonedcoins since I know toned coins in the past were dipped to...
I think you would be in trouble sir because of one word, relief. You simply do not know how consistent the mass is between the two coins, and this...
Well I was saying if you bought a problem coin in the 60's for $4 your return today would not be nearly as strong as if you bought the problem...
But the coins I mentioned I specifically chose very common coins. There are tens and tens of thousands of these around. If I wanted to quote on...
Separate names with a comma.
