I saw this coin posted by another member. He told the story of how he found it, had it graded, and was going to sell it....
Haha, yes, that was a fantastic evening, and completely unexpected. I believe it started as a PCGS forum member gathering, but a few of us crashed...
I've been to a couple of Insider's classes before, and they were some of the most educational hours of my coin life. If you have a chance to go,...
Does it, though? Be very careful of your terminology, especially with pre-modern coins like this. "Doubling" implies something rather specific in...
Haz - could you show us a picture of what you are referring to? There are absolutely ways that a coin could be made with a seemingly blank side,...
These are two different coins ;) Which one are you talking about, the top one or the bottom one?
Oooh, tough to grade using only those tiny pics. From what I see, I'd call the Type 1 a 53-ish (up or down one grade). I'd call the Type 2 a...
You are thinking about this from the perspective of very modern technology. Think about the technology that was probably used to create these...

What did you submit? Show us pictures and let us guess the grade!
It's a cool story, and great for the guy who found it... but there really is nothing rare or valuable there. That "top coin" is worth $2400. If...
I'd say for $10, why not. But $500... that's ridiculous! Or is that a typical price, Frank?

If they don't sign their work, or if they don't have a super distinctive style... it is incredibly difficult to identify the carver.
The top one is a problem free AU-53? No way. Not a chance. Be very careful when buying foreign coins in PCGS slabs, is all I'll say.
I got distracted and forgot to come back to this thread after the obverse picture. I'd say, I'd be very happy with that at AU-50. Collectors of...
I don't understand why that folder has so few spots per page, and then stops half way? I assume there must be a second folder? Just seems very...
