I've only got one.... NGC MS-64PL [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don't know enough about Indians to say if this is whizzed or a late die state with the die showing a starburst effect wear pattern. It looks...
From the perspective of the seller, it might seem scary to start the bidding at one dollar. However, if there is enough traffic and enough views,...
Why?
No. That is not a "pedigree". Ronald Gillio was a dealer and member of the Professional Numismatists Guild. Apparently he was also a self-slabber...
Yes, I was asking specifically about that date/MM. I assumed they were similar to the Franklin, where certain dates are common with FBL and some...
Very lustrous! Do these ever come with a Full Hand, or are they generally weakly struck?
Have you seen the new coin imaging service from Stacks? I'm not sure if they do GSAs, but it looks really good: https://cim.stacksbowers.com/gallery
Yes, I think PCGS got it right. The uniform pale whiteness would be another indicator for me, although it does appear to be re-gaining patina in...
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the white spots on the top one left obverse field. That would have killed my interest in it - even though...
Very nice, congrats! Both of those are solid coins! And you are very correct - photographing PL and DPL coins is very hard to do.
I'm split half-and-half right now with the 10 oz Royal Canadian bars and 90% silver (almost entirely Washington quarters). I will probably avoid...
Easiest way to counter that is to only buy from reputable dealers, I guess. I've been buying from Apmex, so I don't worry about any of that.
Huh. Good to know.
Specific gravity don't lie. You might fool an XRF, but simple weight and volume can't be fooled.
A Kilo bar would be 3x as big... that's 32 ounces!
I'm sure every dealer has at least that much or more - or access to a line of credit. They would have major liquidity issues if they didn't....
I'll defer to Mr. Numismatist on the authenticity of the coin itself - but the toning is absolutely artificial. That blue-purple-magenta-orange...
The only real advantage of bigger bars is the premium per ounce trends down. Even between a 1 ounce and 5 ounce, it seems the premium is usually...
I appreciate your analysis. It was more of a joke to trade it in - I really like the 10 ounce bars. Its the right balance of heft and convenience.
