Sure know that feeling. When I moved a few months ago I threw away a 6 ft stack of Coin World and 6 ft stack of Numismatic News. Plus another...
Jim one of the things I never liked about PCGS is their inconsistency in this area. It soemtimes seems like they use the dartboard method when it...
Seems it always happens, but never forget to make use of what's right in front of your face. Try looking here - Numismatic Resources In that...
Nahhhhhh - didn't think you were being critical at all. Known ya for a looooong time now pal, just figured it was you being precise like ya always...
That depends on if you know how to use it or not. And since you're asking - you obviously don't. All commercial coin dips will strip a layer of...
It used to be that silver was accounted for by the Castillian marc, or 3550 1/2 Troy grains. Each marc was 8 ounces. And when coins were issued,...
Depends on what books you want :D A large portion of my stuff is on world coinage, hard to find stuff. As for pics, here's some of it.
All fixed now ;)
There are 420 grains of 90% silver in the coin. That means there is 378 grains of pure silver in the coin. When you see the term ASW (actual...
A commercial coin dip is about the only way if your coin is similar to the one pictured. And by the way, those aren't milk spots. Spotting like...
Ya know Roy, just for curiosity's sake I decided to see which one was right. Turns out, neither one is on all counts. At least not unless this...
Depends when the ANACS slab was issued. The old ones were a lot smaller than any other slab. I think the new ones are close. But none of the big 4...
Hmmmm - you think 2/10,000ths of an oz (from Seated thru Peace), and 4/10,000ths of an oz (Trade) is quite a discrepancy ? I want to see the...
Interesting way of measuring the size of your library. I have over 20 feet of shelf space for numismatic books. And other than the Krause catalogs...
In regard to the older sets, yeah I do. I spent years, and I mean years, searching through sets at every coin show I went to. Rarely did I manage...
Quite true. But publishing your book with a publisher, that costs a lot. And like with anything else, you do get what you pay for. Publishers...
I do not disagree, errors and die varieties are definitely not the same. However, with many coins, whether it is an error, or a die variety - that...
It's not strange. It's just that few collect the sets anymore. And it is widely thought that the sets that remain intact have ben so widely picked...
joserra - There is no way that your coin can be authenticated based on pictures alone. As I said earlier, even the British Royal Mint has been...
So, you guys pay attention after all :whistle:
Separate names with a comma.
