The threepence (S-2565) is about 18 mm, but much lighter. This looks like a faithful copy of that coin, down to the correct mint mark. The other...
Let's start over. First of all, you did some homework, since you are looking at the cost-benefit of doing this. Your question as to whether you...
Get a proper monocle! Gold rimmed, with a chain attached to your pocket. It will instantly confer upon you an air of class, sophistication, and...
Me, too. On a bright, green lanyard (from Provident Metals) so I can easily find it. I can see it on my desk right now, actually.
The left obverse field bothers me, but the coin looks uncirculated otherwise. Can't be certain from pictures, though.
Looks like some good 7070 stuff.
It's been flaky the past few days.
Correct. There was a short time back when David Hall was in charge at PCGS that they had a "presidential review" tier where you could get his...
Sort of. A statement like, "This coin didn't grade because there is a scratch across the cheek that is too severe," is an opinion, but it...
NGC and PCGS will not give detailed explanations of grading decisions as part of their service. I don't think ANACS will, either, and if ICG does,...

The 1921 "Zerbe" coins are no longer believed to have been special strikes. They were specially selected business strikes. As such, a mintage...
If I'm being generous, zero.
Do we? No. Does the OP? So it would seem.
Plus given the reliability of the mail, OP had best hand-carry it.
[ATTACH] This image is actually somewhat usable and has the look of a coin that should grade MS. Maybe 62 and not 63, though, now that I'm using...
The 1896 looks like it'll grade MS63. The strike is average, and I really don't see wear that would indicate an AU grade. The 1921 I think I...
Popular clashed die variety. "In" and the second 't' from "trust" are transferred to the obverse, as is part of the mint mark. Part of the...
I saw a picture of one of these yesterday and while it is refreshing to see the date back on the obverse, I have a few quibbles related to...
The catalog is thick and full of stunning stuff, but this is the high ticket item of the sale. The rest are no slouches, though. Many 5-6 figure...
