Picked up this nothing-very-special 1790 Half Reale coin of the Mexico City Mint at my Local Coin Club meeting last week. This coin is about the...
I'm a 2 as you can deduce from the brevity of this reply. Seriously, I am active in my local coin club, make acquaintances and friends at coins...
No, wrong side of the country geographically speaking.
I'm thinking XF-40
Well, it's in focus and that's more than I can say of many on-line and auction listings. Now, is the color accurate? The "steelie" look is a...
How about 100 and 300 year old coins? I don't have an 1823 in anything so the 200 slot is open.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
MS-66 with a Green Bean. Very nice coin. It has a few tiny nicks but in today's grading environment, I think it got a solid 66 from the TPG and...
In an ideal world, my preference is for home invaders to never appear but you present a false choice. If home invaders break down your door, they...
Guns are cleaned with chemicals that leave a residue on the metal surfaces. Then the guns are lubricated. Guns are often stored with their...
1881 was the only calendar year when three different presidents held office: Rutherford B. Hayes finished his term on March 4th, succeeded by...
Definitely a cold pour. So, some questions pointing to things to look at: 1) How are you measuring temperature? The melt temperature...

I don't know. I suppose if I had been the original submitter and they'd erred, they would fix it for "free" although I suspect I'd have to pay...
Another perfect example of why you should not believe the attribution supplied by a TPG. I won this 1833 Capped Bust Half Dime from crummy photos...
I saw that dealer. He was offering small bags, maybe 15 or 20 coins, of bronze Romans for about $15 IIRC. Had lots of other cheap ancients....
I tried but couldn't. They looked quarter-sized to me.
But you're darn close and your average set grade is also pretty darn high. Go see his PCGS Registry Set if you want to be impressed. And BTW, it...
A very nice coin. In case you're interested this is the LM-2 die marriage, Obverse 2 and Reverse W. Rarity 1. Key diagnostics: Obverse: S8...
I voted 65, 6FS. The carbon spots knocked it down, I think. Nice color to the coin.
Yes, I agree NGC was pretty generous with the grading of the John McCloskey coins. I won a number of JM coins in that auction and no one would...
