Thanks Guys, We had a lot of fun at this show. It is not a major one, just 40 dealers or so, but it is awesome to look at all those coins. We...
Today, with the first (faint) signs of spring, took place the first coin show of the season in the area where I live in central Germany, the...
Very, very Nice. The early series, including bust coinage are very appealing. You have a good eye Kanga.
And i could not agree more! Bravo, Bravo Catbert for your post, and for making known to us the life of such an exemplary man. I don't know if...
Thank you all! The 58-S is a coin which has been on my list for 15 years. Finally got around to buying one just recently. Grade-wise, do you...
Thank you very much! Yes, my coin has those wiggles between the numerals in the date too (maybe not quite as strong as in your pic though)....
Hello fellow C.T friends, Here is a 1858-S dime, a date I have been looking for quite a while (always go for the key dates). Darkly toned, i...
The key here is the date. This particular date of the type has just recently been recognized as a major rarity as people have started tallying up...
The Worlds Rarest Coin This one: Hessen 2 Gulden 1848. Last seen at auction in 1892. No other auction appearances in 120 years. Only example...
You have some very nice coins there. I specially like the 8 reales for Zacatecas, and the 8 reales 1840 Durango. Nice coins from a beautiful...
Very nice coin Ardatirion! I never would have been able to attribute it. Coins of Flavius Hanninalianus are indeed rare. I have just found out...
Drusus, what you are saying there is really bad news, and quite serious. I have bought many of my ancients through CNG precisely because i was...
Well, IMHO two coins in that category would be the 1844 dime, or the 1909 s-vdb cent. Both are avidly sought coins, but are not rare, and...
Thank you all for your comments. Treashunt, not to worry: there is indeed some concern in Germany among collectors and sellers of coins...
The 1836 half dollar with reeded edge marked the transition in half dollar coinage from use of a lettered edge, over to a design with a...
Thanks guys! oh...shucks, and i was thinking i had picked up a 62+ for AU money....oh well (amazing how greedy one can get!) I'll post...
Was able to successfuly bid on this little coin today, and got it for a good price i think. How would you guys grade it? Thanks! Eduard...
Thank you very much Kanga! I will examine my coin closely for the diags. you describe. (these coins are so tiny you need a loupe AND good...
Thank H.T for the friendly advice! i just took better pics of the coin. The white spots you see on OP pics were, i think, fluff from the 2x2....
Thank you Guys once again. I picked up the Mass. cent from the bank yesterday as i was curious to see it again in- hand. It certainly has that...
