In one of my best finds of recent years, and I have been fortunate with a few, I was able to get a Bahamas 2000 7 Coin Specimen/Mint set for...
Yes, agreed. As was stated above, or words to that effect, we as collectors are loathe to give specifics many times. However I do extend kudos to...
Ha, joke is on me as I dropped them at the PCGS booth at the last Baltimore show! Another show is coming up & I have a certificate for 8 NGC...
Uh that still is a rough one and problematic in many ways and as an example, although I dropped my PCGS submissions at the last Baltimore show...
I am sure they have business decisions to make about how many graders they need - what if the market were to take a downturn and they still had...
And mine logged in 12/1 not encapsulated yet....
The mintage is reported at 100 but the story is actually better than that. As you may know the Franklin Mint felt it necessary to strike actual...
Oops, I meant ammonia diluted and NOT vinegar... The portrait of Cuffy on the 10 Dollar coin really puts to shame most modern issues and their...

Ah thanks Paddy. I really had to laugh at myself for getting it as the only difference from the usual sets with English labels and descriptions...
1982 set:[ATTACH]
I just got this set with the descriptions in Spanish and possibly issued in Panama in 1982. I had previously posted a 1983 Proof Set with Spanish...
Try and find a legit 65 LOL. The ones I have seen are beset with the same micro hairlines...
2 sovs (I can see what look to be mild hairlines near horse's tail): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here are some pictures of the 1902 Matte proof 5 Sov. and 2 Sov coins. I primarily collect silver and copper/bronze but appreciate the golds. I...
Well, here ya go. I must say I was disappointed by the pictures as the reverse is proof like and the obverse has some holder marks and...
St. James's recently (24 February) had a sale of sovereigns that confirmed why it is that I do not collect such. Common date Victorian sovs went...
