Yes. A coin with cameo devices, the devices look just like the grass or your windshield when you first walk outside on a frosty morning.
spock 2.5k is nothing for what most of the multiple ducat coins cost. We're talking 5 & 6 figure coins.
No ya don't. The majority turned out ugly, black, brown, dark grey, spotchy and mottled. Duplicating the conditions that resulted in the appealing...
The edge wouldn't. But the '78 side does, you can see where it was cut just inside the rim.
No, it merely defines what is legal tender and what is not. Now most people think that because something is defined as legal tender that...

And this is coming from the lover of all that is blast white :rolleyes: I think we have a closet toning lover here :whistle:
spock - I have said the same thing so many times that I could not even begin to count them all. All you need to do is go back and read them again.
Ben, what you are saying, and correct me if I am wrong, is that you believe that the TPG's play favorites and assign high grades to the coins...
I agree. But where the difference comes into play is when all coins of a given mintage are known to have a weak strike. To try and compare them to...
I wish, the multiple ducat collection would be beyond the means of most in the hobby. I was trying to put together a date set of the Netherlands...
