Are you sure that coin is authentic? Because, I'm not. The toning is also artificially enhanced. Either through heat, applied chemical, or some...
It appears to have some environmental effects, or some sort of film on it as well. I agree - this is a spender.
It does not look like anything I am familiar with. Can you try to get pictures more in focus? I can't read the lettering around the outside edge.
After careful consideration, I have decided to move away from collecting shillings. I enjoy these coins, but I am trying to work on too many...
1. NGC applies the PL designation to any coin which meets the standards: US, new, old, foreign, etc. 2. PCGS applies the PL designation to...
Did you also see the eloquent, well researched legal argument against him? In any case, to return to the OP - no, PCGS and NGC don't slab hobos....
Haha, whatever you say, Griff: [MEDIA]
It was Dcarr himself, in an extensive thread on another forum, who made the analogy between his counterfeits and legitimate hobo nickels. I am...
Creep is certainly analagous to the "flow" of glass. However, creep is defined as deformation under a low load for an extended period of time. A...
I've not seen any slabbed. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I've just not seen it. If Dcarr's counterfeits get slabbed, than legitimate hobo...
Taunting me won't work. You can see everything on the coin because you have it in hand, and know what you are looking at. But trust me, these...
I work with the Navy, and word gets out that I like coins. Every once in a while, one of the guys will give me a coin from their boat. I've gotten...
No more or less than a coin does. The process, as applied to coins, is known as "cold flow," and is quite different from liquid flow. No. This...
I've said it once, and I'll say it again HCMV: your pictures are not good enough to give reliable or accurate grades from. You could tell me that...
Hahahaha. Sometimes, people have bought so far into their delusions that they convince themselves they have the golden ticket. They just don't...
This. Starting a slow clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Sorry, insider. Sometimes, you make some good points. This thread has not been one of them.
I think the OP is asking for opinions *before* he buys the coin. That is vastly preferable to the approach so many others take, posting after they...
In response to my own questions: I like the coin. I think it is quite attractive. I also think, however, that it is an *extremely* strong premium...
Do you like it? Is it accurately graded? Do you have access to a price guide? Is it a reasonable premium for the toning? Is it worth it to...
No need to start a second thread, but since you have... I have zero intention of downloading a zip file from somebody on the internet. Post them...
