Wow, that is a very well done fake!
I've heard it is quite amazing. They keep showing selections from it at the Long Beach shows. I'd love to see it.
Tell us a little bit about yourself: what is your level of experience in the hobby, and what are your goals? If there is only one book that...
I personally have bought several coins which were not designated as PL. I bought them because they were PL. I paid a PL price for them. I...

I first looked at the pics and said to myself "Holy &^%$ this is the mother of all modern doubled dies." I forgot that incuse MDD can do that....
So you found some circulated Lincoln Memorial cents while searching rolls..... I'm not sure why you're particularly pleased with these? Could...
What you see in that thread are people unfamiliar with the series. It's very tricky for world coins, where there are number of factors affecting...
Gotcha. Calling an AU-58+ "unique" because of the "plus" is buying into the marketing gimmick. There's nothing unique about it. NGC might be...
