It is my belief that the TPGs loosened their grading standards in early 2004, and they have done nothing but get worse since then. There is a...
Laugh all ya want, but that doesn't change the fact just about every coin there is has been counterfeited by somebody. And the ones that are...
Not much really, you can look it up here - http://www.coinarchives.com/ and here - http://www.mcsearch.info/index.html
I didn't take it that you were. I thought perhaps you merely misunderstood, so I want to explain for clarity. And by the way, even the original...
You've already got 1 thread started on this. There is no need to start another one. If you wish to know what the coin is worth, then ask in your...
It looks worn down because it IS worn down. Ahhhh, so unless the day comes that they publicly admit that they have changed and loosened grading...
That is not a coin, it is a jeton.
There is no "probably" about it. As I told you, all of the Victoria cases had the date printed right on the outside of the case. If the coins...

The coin you picture is dated 1550, and if it is a douzain (size will tell you that) with that date it was minted at Nantes.
I believe it is a French franc, minted at Toulouse in 1594. Interesting point - according to Duplessy there are no known examples. So you might...
Maybe, but given what it looks like my guess would be it's a counterfeit.
One thing buddy, Grey Sheet prices only apply to problem free coins.
What a lot of people don't understand or realize is that not all Maundy coins were handed out to individuals by the King/Queen. In the Maundy...
Why ? To make us feel better. That may sound silly but it really isn't. If we had no law regarding legal tender we would soon be demanding one....
The problem with Krause is that some prices are way too high and some are way too low. And there really is no way to determine which is which...
Hard to say what will happen to long term values of the satin coins. For one thing they are much like Proof sets in that they were specially made,...
