I don't buy old auction catalogs any more because most of the information in them is now on line, at least for the major auction houses. They take...
Sorry, but that piece had no shot at all at "Red-Brown." You need a lot more red. Here is an example. [ATTACH] That was great pick-up, finding...
I voted MS-66.
My grade would be MS-62. It's got mint surfaces, but it also has a lot of significant marks.
It appears to have environmental damage, probably from a very old dipping that was not properly rinsed. Pass.
I will post pictures of an 1850 large cent that is graded MS-63, Brown once the reveal is made.
No. It has “flyspeck” spots all over the obverse. Is that what you expect for an MS-68? Not from the way I grade. That’s at least 3 points too...
MS-63, Brown
I don't view the OP coin as an upgrade candidate because of minor marks. I have had this one in my collection for over 20 years. It too is an NGC...
Many years ago I took a No Stars dime to a dealer, was “bid” at $200 to a dealer who put on one of those visors on to look at it. He offered me...
The some guys in the coins shops are always looking for "the rip." That $225 offer is around the melt value and totally ridiculous or "unethical"...
I have a pair of them. I bought the second one because I liked the reverse. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Compared to its age, yes. I would be surprised if the carving was done more than 300 years ago. That would be about 1720. Yes, I am a lot older...
I am not fan of this piece. It is fabrication. In England and probably other countries, the heads of those who had been beheaded were placed on...
BUT on the other side, it has been written that Maximinus treated his men poorly which was the reason they killed him. A wise military leader does...
I have posed it elsewhere, but I won this British King Edward II in a Heritage auction. This piece is really exceptional for an Edward II. it is...
I have had two Maximinus coins in my "one per emperor" collection. The first one was removed from marketing holder that someone is producing for...
Anything but Gem quality (certified MS-65+ and higher) 1964 dated silver coins are pretty much "junk silver." The mintages were very high, and...
Here is a picture of the whole coin. It's in my "virtual black cabinet." [ATTACH] Sorry, my bad. He only posted the obverse on other sites.
I don't collect very many of these pieces. Here are the only two I have. I bought this one of George III and Charlotte's marriage at the 2022...
