Only 10, not the full 100, of the coins were engraved Conder, numbered 3 through 12. It is known where all of them are. A roster publishd in...
You can find the story if you look deep enough. It was in 2003.
These rules are purely used in the general sense, and by no means does everybody agree or follow them. It all depends on who you ask and what they...
The big pics clearly show the scratches that couldn't be seen in the original pics. I understand now why it looks the way it does. But I sure...
It was raw, and I don't own the coin any more.
Yes it is. But it such a dark blue that it is almost black. A whole lot of people say the same thing. But the time period is important. I am...
I can tell you this much, in the past 10 years the typical MS70 coin that you are talking about cost half as much today as it did 10 years ago....
Because I no longer collect coins- at all. I sold my entire collection several years ago. Now all I do is study the coins.
Sure they have. They don't use the same guys who grade the US coins to grade the hammered coins. They use people who are recognized experts on...
Depends on the facts you're talkin about I guess. Are there coins like this struck on sintered planchets that are called Black Beauties - Yup,...
You are correct in your thinking. The inner coins were much less likely to tone. But still some did. The Proof of this is quite simple, look at...
Exactly what rules Siggi ? Be specific. As I have said, it doesn't matter if the coin is hammered, minted with roller dies, or minted in a...
It is, Mike Diamond has discussd this before - it's caused by die erosion.
I have read of these coins before, 4 Proofs struck in Denver. And no, they were not the Zerbe or Chapman coins. Mintage for those is estimated in...
I suspect it was because of the planchet quality. I toyed with the idea of saying the coin was detail graded, but couldn't really come up with a...
When picking coins appearance is everything to me. And based on those pics the '28 wins hands down, up, over and sideways !
Siggi - your logic is flawed. There are many, many, many coins where not 1 single example of an MS70 even exist. In fact, for the vast mjority of...
Yes it is possible it is geuine, but it is not probable. Post pictures of the coin, close-up and in focus and then maybe can help you determine if...
That's because there are so few of them. Think about it. There are 1000 coins in each bag. Maybe 10%, 100, of those coins can be touching the bag...
Well Siggi I just showed you quite a few exampls of hammered coins where the 70 point system does work. So I'm a bit confused as to why you still...
