I see that as well. Very interesting history to be found in the Thames considering the conflicts going on between the two countries at the time.
Agreed. It appears to be of that period but the workmanship is too "good". These coins were never really meant to be coins, they were struck...
Temple types in general are much more in demand than "generic god standing" types. That is the first thing I noticed about the coin Mat, the...
Boy you will start a war with this. Are you talking about only US coins? If you are only talking US coins, I like the capped bust, but they aren't...
:) Not a war, I don't think I could ever disagree with Chris enough for that. We usually agree on most things, I am simply recalcitrant on this...
Mike, I don't collect these, (or any US coins anymore), but aren't other scarcer mintages of the series still relatively highly priced? 100k may...
Just wondering how you came up with a $155 value? That is at the crux of the argument, right? Even at the issue price, if you say its a $155 value...
You could have just deleted the entire thread Jim. I know nothing I said was terribly valuable. :)
Well NGC and PCGS refuse to grade an AU cleaned coin MS 65 as well, and their business model has been built on trust they have garnered by that...
Yes sir, fair point, I know businesses need to make a profit. I simply like to remind everyone this was not the premise under which TPG started...
Here's to hoping, but my Escalade already costs $100 to fill. :( Chris
Really? I don't think they can be let off the hook like that. The TPG know very well what they are doing, what kind of ripoffs they are enabling,...
My cloudy crystal ball prediction depends on future "rarities". If future anniversary sets are more like 250k mintage, and silver stays up, I say...
Its even assuming all sellers know how to cherry pick these. I am not very sure of my ability to tell a 69 from a 70 unless I want to break out my...
In nominal terms, but the amount of debt generated during WWII is staggering when put in todays values. As a percent of GDP the deficit being run...
Do you have enough cash to pay all of your debts off immediately? What percent of Americans do? Not very many. This is why you are in debt, you do...
I agree with Mark as well. Growing up at my favorite coin store I noticed the same man coming in every week, and getting the same stuff. Turns out...
No need to be excluing anyone. All are welcome to post here Mr. Hao, and my post is simply informing you of your next course of action if you...
^This. Either you would have to post a photo here for us to comment, or simply send the coin to NGC to evaluate. Its pretty rare for an Ebay buyer...
Great wish Mike, but I would put my money on them either being sold to a dealer or on Ebay right now. :(
