We probably won't know the mintage numbers until at least next year sometime, and maybe the year after that. As for whether you did well or not -...
In all honesty it shouldn't even be attempted by those without experience - unless - you are experimenting on coins of no value whatsoever....
I'd say it's an AU55. And the toning, while attractive, is certainly nothing special and would demand no premium. Value, $20-$25 tops.
You might be right, but when somebody says - "getting there cost me tens of thousands of dollars and a great deal of heartache" - that smells like...
If you were to bet me, you'd lose. I could buy dozens of the best computers for what I have spent on books. And still spend on books. And I'm...
hkiefus - may I ask you a question ? Exactly what kind of journey is that you are on ? I ask because based on this comment above it seems as if...
It's a fake.
Just a point of correction, olive oil is far from inert. Olive oil contains an acid, and that acid is the only reason that olive oil removes...
The way I read it, they are not going to gaurantee the grade either. Take the 70 DCAM cent I mentioned earlier. That coin did not change color, in...
Well, make that 2 turned in the holder, not 3. Because the 70 DCAM cent they "claim" turned in the holder - didn't.
I guess you need to define things a little. What exactly is a fair shake or a decent price ? By define I mean what percentage of spot equals...
It's not funny at all, it's expected. You see, that's the problem with pictures - they don't always show you what the coin really looks like. In...
Just gotta look closer - these are all on the obv. The rev is pretty clean, a few small ones in the legends, a couple on the eagle, few on the...
Ask any and all of the most experienced names, the most trusted names, the most repsected names, that there are in numismatics and every one of...
You don't get ripped, you get a fair price. When you buy gold from a dealer, do you get to buy it at or under spot ? No, you pay more than...
I think one of the first things you are going to see is a huge influx of review submittals for copper coins. There are countless examples out...
I do appreciate the help, and it's no hassle. Just been busy with a lot of other stuff. Only so many hours on the day. I have deleted a lot of the...
I'm gonna guess they said 66 but that splotchy toning is covering up more than some would see. Were the coin dipped clean I have little doubt it...
Have at it then. Anybody and everybody can write and/or contribute to what is already written on Wiki.
Have an impact, yes - make the market no. Large dealers, major players, whatever you want to call them, always have an impact. But there is no...
