Probably written by a whippersnapper :D
Given it is an '81-S I doubt the grade would change. I too would go with 63. As for what is going on at 9 o'clock, looks like it might be a...
There is plenty that can be seen on the reverse as well. The eagle's head, the wings, leg and branches. I based my estimate what can be seen, not...
Nice ducat :thumb: It was a denier issued in Norway with the date 1234. You can find out a lot more about it and other medieval coins here -...
Yes we have a PM system, email as well. Just click on any member's name and you will see it.
I agree about it being stained, it has the look of a metal detector find. I would say the coin has VF details and light corrosion.
Thank you, at least somebody is actually reading the posts. Don't know how I could have spelled it out any plainer. And Ben, you should know...
Actually ebay is not a good source for accurate pricing. There are far too many buyers on ebay buying things that they have no idea what the real...
Are you including realized prices from the Auction Houses or just the stuff from interent auctions ? It is a lot of work to do this, but...

No, damage only accurs after striking. Planchet defects are there before the coin is struck. Yes, both affect grading. But a coin with a...
Damage for exactly the same reason. If it was a planchet error that was there before striking - how would the detail of the eagle's wing be there...
The FUN show is often the gauge used to mark the turn in the coin market. But the turn occurred 2 months ago - it's just that nobody wanted to...
Well, that's why I asked. That may be the method they use, but it doesn't mean that is the method used by those who make the blanks for US coinage.
Did any of you actually read what I said ? I said XF45 would be the technical grade. And I made that comment because of what Jack said. In the...
The vast majority of them are toned that way long before they are ever slabbed.
Are you asking for opinions on the possible numismatic value increase or - just the possible increase in the spot price of gold ? If the...
No, what I am looking at happened long ago. But based on what you just said, you may have a fingerprint develop soon.
Jack you don;t have near enough W's in there. 10 people equates to slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !
There is a 4th thing that should be added - they have high buy prices.
Separate names with a comma.
