I always thought I was certifiable!
I know I hate on slabs, but slabbing has had this effect: There used to be a lot more coin doctors out there who would "fix" coins then retone...
Sorry if you thought it was too strong Ardatirion. I respect your posts a lot here and will try to dial it back or just not comment. I would...
I thought the coin was a wonderful coin. An XF ancient is a superlative coin in most every sense. I am truly sorry the OP thought I was hating on...
Good question, but this answer would depend on the recovery rate no? I mean, if they recover 99% of the silver it really won't matter if silver is...
Dang, looks like a match to that Lexington Concord I posted about a couple of days ago! I would say F 15.
Every collector likes show and tell, its a big part of what draws us to the hobby. Every coin club I have ever belonged to had the most time...
I understand your happiness, but every time I hear of an ancient graded AU I die little. At least its not "MS63 weak strike worn die PQ ++++ CAC"...

Nice post Joan, thanks! Where is the reference from?
The problem with small parcels of gold is that you have to pay a premium to buy them, but when you sell the dealer only wants to pay you bullion...
Yeah, but come on, its $150. Its not like he is 63 and investing $200,000 in retirement money in them. When I was 19 I had all of my "savings" in...
There is also the penny weight association. Penny weight was a unit of measure for blacksmiths and other commercial enterprises. I wonder if that...
The reason I suggested a coin show was that you could shop around quickly at different dealers and not have to pay shipping, which will eat into...
One of those cases where you are right but it doesn't really matter. If it helps the last time I looked all of my proof sets like that were...
If it was cheap I would let it lay. They do that all of the time, the little plastic dimples break on the cover. Besides, you bought coins, right?...
