Hey Nick - see what ya think of this one - HERE I'm reasonably certain I can convince the owner to let you borrow it ;)
Perhaps it is just the pics, but there is something about that coin that just doesn't look right to me. If it were mine - I would send it in to...
No offense Aidan, but if so, I would not lend much credence to those dealers for they should know better. The universally accepted definition of a...
I guess a point I neglected as to why the grade on the slab does not matter is this - you only pay an amount equal to the grade you think it is....
Yes - the numbers in the Red Book and on that web site are actual mintage numbers. As a general rule, the mint does not release the previous...
Perhaps not by you my friend, but it is by the rest of the world and every catalog or reference book I've ever seen.
Of course it could. It could be due to any number of things. And to be honest - it doesn't matter. The main things is - buy the coin not the slab....

Buying unslabbed can be a way to go - but in recent years there have been counterfeits discovered, albeit rarely and so far only platinum. But of...
If anyone could answer that question - we'd all be rich :D Unfortunately we can't :( The primary reason for the increases in the gold &...
Yes they could & often do. It could also have some dated 2005. You see - the mint actually starts prodcution of the 2005 dated coins in Dec. of...
Perhaps the pics aren't showing what you see with the coin in hand - but they look pretty normal to me.
Not necessarily - those numbers often include coins struck with the previous year's date and sometimes the following year's date as well.
I think that one would return as damaged :(
Sylvester I'm surprised at you. Henry VI did issue a ryal, as did Mary, Elizabeth I and James I. But they were alike in name only. The designs...
Can you post a pic of this coin ? I ask because I used to be a collector of original Proof sets - and for sets that had nice toning I paid more !...
Yes - the Anniversary set was the only way to get a '95-W ASE. The '95 Proof ASE was minted at Philadelphia. Yes - it was at the time the...
