I wonder if the largest Yap stones weigh more than 1 tonne? Wikipedia claims that 20 grown men would be needed to move the stones, so it's got to...
I've been thinking a lot about my collection and my collecting interests recently. I'm not really a "complete a set" kind of guy, so I gravitate...
Since you're talking about selling them "back", I'll assume you mean to a dealer. I'll give you an example using current spot pricing and APMEX's...
I love this piece! I have a 25mm advertising token with an obverse based on a 1794 cent that I got straight from the man who had them struck....
I'd argue the coin is raw and that the plastic and label around it should be considered strictly an exonumia item.
Assuming it's going to be for sale eventually, it depends how much you're into it and whether you think PCGS will actually upgrade it. According...
Some rounds and bars do command a premium. Mostly they're the ones with very nice designs, low mintages, or other factors beyond metal value...
I never thought about this before, but how do you even strike a 1 tonne coin? Also, I'd love to see the slab that thing would fit in. :P
Definitely looks better than AU50 to me. How much luster is remaining?
No clue. Did you check to see if it's even sealed?
This post literally made me laugh out loud. I think I might skip the darkener just to show it to people the way it is.
I like these a lot. Storing coins in wood always makes me nervous, but the Air-Tites should protect them quite a bit.
I don't think his name is selling these coins. I think the coins are selling themselves. If anybody else did overstrikes this nice, I'd buy...
Nice and original. The reverse is maybe a tad dark for me, but I'd have no problem owning this coin. I would not do the baking soda method on it.
I hope this wasn't after they marked them all up with that stupid "counterfeit detection" pen.
Nice PCI photo slab, too! I wouldn't crack that one. If it were mine, I'd keep it as is while I owned it, and sell it to someone who appreciates...
Nice coins, @jwitten and @Vess1! Both are definitely way, way better than MS60. :)
I only regret that I have but one like to give to this post.
Is it considered political to criticize the US Mint now? I think it is a perfectly fair statement to say the US Mint would not be producing these...
I'm not sure that's a die struck fake. I see at least 4 casting bubbles on the obverse in front of the face, and possibly one on the jaw near the...
