I've always been curious about that too Mark. A coin dealer friend of mine has one (ultrasonic cleaner) that I think he uses only sparingly. I'll...
Well said, I couldn't agree more. Bruce
Nice pickup Potato! I'm with mill rat on the "look" of it. The coin is a tad dark, but certainly very attractive. Bruce
That's a great coin Lance. I always had the 8 Reales on my want list, but not being a collector of foreign coins it kept getting bypassed by...
They were all unpopular in their day Drago. It's lucky we collectors came along to keep their "spirit" alive. Personally I don't like any of them,...
That's a nice one moneyer. Wait until Siggi and the boys get a look at it. Thanks for posting...with an assist from Barry. :hail: Bruce
Wow, the reaction of those you spoke to at PCGS is stunning to me OldShutEye. Even if innundated with phone calls as she claimed, it was very...

I agree with Mark. I think they would be able to identify a legitimate new variety given enough time to study its characteristics. In addition to...

Howard's right, the U.S. Mint is only about ten blocks from the convention center. A nice walk if the weather is nice. Bruce
I just signed up for a PayPal account a few months ago, and wish I'd done it long ago. I'm very happy with it and wouldn't pay for a purchase any...
The Philly show is a good one Susan and I'd recommend you go to it if you can. It's a big show with lots of dealers and great selection for any...
Good advice Valente. I would also check with the local, or if they don't have one, the county historical society. They've helped me out a number...
That 1947 Roose is a real beauty WL. Congrats on a great pickup. Bruce
Thanks Mark, some neat "coins". :D Bruce
Nice presentation Clinker. It's always fun and educational reading your posts. Thanks. Bruce
Geez Tony, haven't you got anything better to do than post bad jokes...like dig up some fossils or gaze adoringly at your Icelandic coins. Come on...
Yeah, you've got to wonder about them Mark. If they're that careless about their coins then they're not professionals...at least I hope not. Bruce
