Based on your pics it looks like both coins have light wear on the high points on both sides. I think the coins were graded accurately.
I am just amazed that some think that is a planchet defect. It has obviously been cut all the way through and then the damaged metal bent and...
I've rarely seen European sellers grade anything AU, a good EF is their equivalent. In US terms I'd say that coin is AU all day long.
Yeah, but then you have a history with them too Mark. They don't give that deal to just anybody. Neither do they do it for just 1, 2 or 3 items...
Yeah, and they'd probably be making a mistake by doing so. That's an older ICG slab and with pretty much all coins pre-'64 ICG's grading is...
99 out of a 100 times that's what it is - haze. It's not grease. Yes sometimes acetone will remove it, sometimes not. The coin cleaner MS70 almost...
That and the fact that most auction houses would not even look at most of the stuff sold on ebay.
That's not rediculous Siggi - that's pretty much the standard going rate. Some houses do it for 15%, but unless they are running a special of some...
Look at Duplessy #788. You'll see that exact same R, and only on that variety.
But ebay is still the cheapest auction venue there is. No auction house is ever going to allow to sell that cheaply. I think you should count your...
No, it isn't. The boys at cgb have made an oops this time. But then so did I. I wil agree with them about the mint, the coin was struck at...
I would agree with 58.
All I can tell you is to read the threads that others have posted. Apparently Peter has been unable to fix the problem.
Yeah I know, but for generations those have been called slide marks or slide scratches. PCGS even used to have slide marks listed in their...
Guys I made my comments based on bq's question. Now going on what many of you have been telling me, bq himself would qualify as an expert. So I...
There's a few different ways. One is if the coin is stored in a loosely fitting acrylic holder, repeated movement within the holder can cause...
Typically, for a coin to be of great value it has to at least be part of a set. And there also has to be enough of them to make a market. So when...
20% ? Not really. There are plenty of coins that have dropped 50% or more in the past 2 years.
Way cool ! :cool: I didn't think there were any more of those out there, thought they were all accounted for. Seems they were not !
I didn't think of it until a few hours after I posted but I made a reference to a Henri D'Or - and it isn't of course. It's a Franqois D'or....
