Except that they won't since owners of coins they know are overgraded will never resubmit them. Kind of like now, if a dealer sends in a 63 and it...
I was wondering that too. With modern techniques with a high grade coin its fairly easy to copy to a die. As far as I have ever read, no dies...
Dirt washes off man. No harm done, I would have done the same. You never know what people will throw out. I was just rereading Frank...
I would liken this to both Byzantine coins and of Central Asian coins that proceded yours. I have a mini collection of Chach and Sogdian coins and...
Boy silver is getting up there. Time to start scrounging around for trash to offload. :)
Agreed. Excellent Post Desert, thank you.
Never ceases to amaze me why people would buy expensive coins on Ebay. I am not talking a great deal, but just a regular price. Hmmm, do I want to...
I am not disagreeing with you Doug, just asking questions. Given the fact Spock pointed out that .999 or .9999 is recent, does anyone have any...

I agree that gold "darkens", that is the best description I can think of. I have tried searching, anyone ever hear of analysis of the toned...
Ok, sorry, I thought "Frequently Asked Questions" meant FAQ. Could there be a post there someday, under Frequently Asked Questions, regarding...

I agree they can be on any gold coin, and have seen them on all, but it just appears to me, and maybe just me, more frequent on the Pandas. When I...
OK, I was just thinking of something like showing coins that the author knows for a fact, (has seen or bought from person admitting they were AT),...
I thought the other 10% was frequently copper and silver, not just copper. I have always heard that the metal preparation on Pandas was not...
From that photo cannot really tell, but appears real. Not that impressive of a coin really, its nice but not that shocking of a find. It always...
Fair enough Doug, but is there one or two posts that could qualify for the FAQ? Then new members could be told just to search there. If there...
I think thats a little harsh. I was simply asking for one thread that most would agree that could be a primer for people new to the discussion....
Are these really Mercury? Mercury I thought had wings on his heals, I have always heard the dime made 1916 to 1945 had wings on his cap to signify...
Yeah, love tokens are very interesting, but unfortunately destroys most numismatic value of the coin. As it is unless the engraved design on the...
