Because you don't "push" the coin into the holder. Instead you "push" the holder down around the coin. It's simple really. The I.S. material is...
The PL surfaces are not what I am interested in seeing. I can see them well enough. I'd just like a close-up of the left side of the coin - obverse.
I wouldn't pay a whole lot of attention to ebay prices. Way too many people over-paying these days because they don't know any better. As for...
They have the same up to date values the modern coins do - realized auction prices.
That's in a new ANACS slab. I'd be skeptical of the grade and the designation. It sure doesn't look PL based on the pics. If you can, post a...
Ahhhhh - a man after my own heart :thumb:
Be very wary of raw examples. There are probably more fakes out there than there than there are real coins. Never buy a raw one unless you have...
It was easy, the lion. It's the Netherlands Lion Rampant. Stuvier is a clue too of course, but it wasn't needed with the lion. And no, it didn't...

Sounds like a money maker there :secret: You better run out and make one ;)
When ya post one without the clues, that's when it gets tricky. Then Mike and Mark will chime in and say weak strike while I'm screaming wear :D
Then look for a nice Pillar dollar, those you can find in your range. Google Dan Sedwick, he's a dealer you can trust and he sells them. They...
Mid range VF - bullion value.
Maybe $20 to the right buyer.
Well I'm no expert. Far from it. And to be honest I have done little in the past year to even try and keep up with pricing. Just haven't had the...
On this coin, it's both. This one is actually an easy one, there are clues ! On the obverse, you notice the flat hair. OK, that's the most...
I think a large part of the reason that it is hard for some folks to understand is that all they have are pictures to look at. If they had...
Try and keep in mind that you may be misunderstanding the intent of the post/response. I don't think that people think I am treating them like an...
