Let's see if I can address your questions as you directed them: 1) How could the servants (slaves) make the coins without anyone knowing? Well,...
4% tolerance on planchets doesn't seem that out of whack. It'd probably cost MUCH more to go with tighter tolerance.
Ahh, okay. That makes sense.
I have two SDBs. Both are in older neighborhoods. My thinking is no one would risk robbing the SDB vault of a small bank. ;)
This is my $28 CC. :P [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I keep mine under my bed, on the shelf, in my safe, in my mini-safe, in the safe deposit box, in a wooden box, etc. I even store some junk silver...
Au55/58. Sails show some rub/wear.
It would be paid in the currency that is available. I believe Juan's scenario was a collapse of the paper PM trade, not a debasement of the global...
Sadly, the answer of "yes" is pretty spot on to this question. (Natural) Toning is the result of a non-controlled chemical reaction. As such, you...
As I posted in your other thread about whether this same coin would qualify as a cameo, it'd probably get the CAM designation, but would...
I'm just wondering, but why would you send two 69s in to ANACS? I have a feeling that a PCGS 69 would still have higher marketability than an...

Well, I read that they had a turnover in staff around June. It's entirely possible that I had the year wrong.
You're better off getting the PCGS photo grading book. I think it's called "The OFFICIAL Guide to Grading Coins" or something similar. Also, get...
I'm wondering if their grading standards improved with the change in staff.
Oh really... I would trade my childhood memory for a $23,000,000 coin. I make no claims to the contrary.
Three months = 90 days. 6000 items doesn't seem impossible. That'd be 67 coins a day? Let's say 10 coins per hour, based upon 4-6 minutes per...
I found a website that explains it very well (error-ref.com). Essentially, the reason that the surrounding area isn't affected is due to mint...
Thanks green. Tom B was actually very helpful in a secondary thread that I started since I mistitled this one.
I'm not sure that's a fair approach to the analysis. Within the context of the ancient world, they wouldn't have reliable access to data points...
Separate names with a comma.
