Love the reverse ! Most Goetz stuff never rang any bells for me, but every now then there is one I like. Used to be guy on the PCGS World and...
There is only one way that is legit if I understand you correctly. And that is sending them off to either NGC or PCGS to be graded and slabbed....
If it were me, I'd prefer a ring. But I'm with you all the way on the sentiment :thumb:
Question for you Charmy. In reading the show reports in the coin mags I can almost predict what the reports will say based on who the author of...
Let's not forget that PCGS only requires the middle band for FB and on this coin it is borderline. And borderline doesn't quite cut it. But I...
Thanks Dick, but it belongs to someone else now as I no longer collect coins.
Duke, you're saying that the bottom of the letters on your coin look like this ? (see below) I really don't mean to question ya, but I sure as...
These will get ya started, but now probably isn't the right time to begin such a collection. They are likely to continue dropping in price....
If you lay the coin flat on the scanning bed they don't, I agree. But if you prop up one edge of the coin just a bit, say 1/4 inch - you can...
You cannot polish a die with wire brushes. Nor have I ever heard or read about wire brushes being used. Kind of curious as to where you did.
Kind of concerned that you report 2 different weights, but if it is 13.96 grams then I have reason to suspect it is not genuine. As said, if...

It's important to note that while brushes or even rags were used to clean the dirt/debris from the dies, no brush or rag is going to polish the...
Some things to think about. Look at the areas I've circled or placed arrows on the OP's coin. Then look very same areas on genuine coins of the...
I don't have the books the attribute the coin, but I spent some time comparing it closely to Heritage examples and I can't match it up. There's...
To a point, I would disagree with the above quote as I edited it. If one knows the grading standards of the various TPGs then any given grade does...
Yes that is too heavy. It should be 13.96 grams. But how sure are you of your scale ? I would suggest taking it to a jewelry store and having it...
There's a bit more to it than that though. Those opinions are based on the standards that the company tells their graders they have to use. So it...
Believe what ya want Rigo. But the truth shall always be the truth whether people believe it or they don't believe it.
