Edited in response to multi-post cleanup.
I'm not much of a world collector, but I think I'd hold out for one that's completely real. ;)
So, in your opinion, which set of photos best represents the coin's in-hand appearance?
Or look for a lot that's trading close to face value. I bought "228 Proof State Quarters, $57 Face" for $70 shipped last time around. They turned...
I think we can all agree that it's a GDJMSP58 :) I can't distinguish rub from toning variations in this single pair of photos, though. Could be...
So would I. Of course, if anybody could know that, and post convincing evidence on a public forum like this -- well, it wouldn't be much of a...
Go on... :) What do the 1921 and 1934-S look like?
It looks like it's been cleaned harshly, but still not enough -- those spots on the front look like corrosion in progress, especially the one on...
Different media, different rules. I know almost nothing about the art market, but I'd guess that prints from a limited series cost more than...
Nah; you should see the reverse. On the other hand, if I can't think of anything else to send in for my ANACS freebies... ;)
...even if they were "from an old box tucked away by your parents"....
It looks to me like somebody at Kitco fat-fingered the price, and nobody's bothered to correct it. If there had really been a 40% drop, I think...
And meanwhile, in other news from the dollar's inevitable collapse, crude oil has dropped below $54/bbl. Sure glad I didn't invest any more of my...
Okay, let's run with this somewhat overwrought metaphor. You see someone walking toward a cliff. Do you: 1) Yell "Hey, there's a cliff! Watch...
If you're actually trying to educate others, it's... ineffective... to start out by calling them "stupid". One might almost say that it's, well,...
Here's why it always pays to keep an eye on the market ticker: [ATTACH] Perhaps I'll call up this poor guy with an offer to sell him all the...
Your camera tries to adjust the overall image so that it's not to bright, not too dark. Since your background is pure white, it dims the whole...
Yeah, the auction is technically non-compliant. But they don't mention NGC in the title, and they do describe it as "cleaned" and "details" in the...
I'd say "these are expensive slabs for the First Strike™ Slab collector", given your experience with the actual coin -- but, yeah.
I'm not sure where you were going with this, but I was looking for Wheaties 45 years ago. They were already unusual in circulation at that point,...
