Yes, I rather like that strategy and used it myself after finding only the War in the Pacific in change I bought the others at about the same...
I found only the Pacific war one in change at Chic Filet at LAX airport. I bought the others as they came out at various sites. I could be wrong...
I think with coins like this, and getting such a grade, that it discourages possible submitters as the TPGs can be patently off base (if that...
Yes, a "fresh" coin not messed with. A very clean and virginal rendition of Victoria on the obverse. The reverse are the quartered arms of...
Ah, well, AU58 at NGC.
This got a "62" at NGC and I was flabbergasted. There are NOT the hairlines present in any lighting conditions, it has not been cleaned or...
Ah yes my thoughts as well. To me such a coin represents a true "core" collector type coin, and not the Multi-thousand dollar coins in the...
Might in fact be although the devices and lettering as well as denticles are very well delineated. IMHO the central obverse device is a bit soft...
Well, LOL, it was a Brit auction so came as a group with an 1858 LL FE that was prob upper AU 58ish and some nice Barber dimes and quarters all in...
Ah thanks. When I saw it I liked it and was thankful it came along as practically a freebie; funny thing is that I had always wanted a mint marked...

Good Morning and Happy Week to All. Here is a very nice IMHO shilling I got at DNW some years ago. As you may know a very rare date in higher...
Ah, nice. I used to laugh as on another well known site I would post coins and always derided - the poster always saying how many superior coins...
Here is a nice example of the 1845 half sovereign. This is a rather scarce issue, and I have yet to see a true mint state (MS) specimen. Sorry...
Yes good advice and will try. I wonder who will be at the June Baltimore show?
Here is a GRADED PCGS62 coin. Talk about cleaned? Wow. Admittedly just a photo, but here you go. Also enclosed is a cleaned AU coin to follow that...
I have looked at this coin again and again, both in hand and in pictures and really can not see how there is any substantial cleaning and in fact...
Here is picture of one of the 1981 10 New Pence uncirculated coins in hand which looks much better than the pictures with startling lustre:...
Yes, I think I might but wonder if I should go the NGC route or not. Also, if it ever comes to sell (and I am NOT looking to) a slabbed unc. of...
