I don't really have any actual info to add, but I would like to say "great writeup," @TIF. Random tidbit: for giggles, I pasted...
Great post, @TIF! You are an entertaining writer. I especially enjoyed the shirt and the absolutely exquisite coin. Now, where did I leave my...
Great coin. I was too late, but I would have said 65. I also love the golden color these things seem to take on. :) My first Liberty nickel...
Interesting. I agree with those who think the date looks funny. The 2, and, particularly, the 3 look off to me. The surfaces look funky (that's...
I don't think I'd own it. I suspect it will straight grade 58, since you say there is good luster. I don't like the scratches on the obverse,...
This, x1000. I collect coins, not plastic. (Well, mostly not plastic... I've considered buying a couple of coins in interesting slabs as...
@saltysam-1 is right. For these silver bars, you really want to have a scale and a way to measure the volume of the bars. From the weight and...
From what I can see, it looks like a high end coin: sharp strike and very few marks. Bigger pictures would be better. I have no idea what I'd...
Lol... way behind, yeah, right. :) I have 5 ancients total, lol. :) Here's my Faustina I: [ATTACH] Diva Faustina Sr AR Denarius. Obverse: DIVA...
No idea if CAC would sticker it, but I agree this looks like a high-end VG-08. Nice pick up!
Those are much better pics. The MM looks good, the third arrow points to the right place. Looks good to me, but it could use a bath in some...
If it were me on the losing end of this transaction, I'd suck it up because it's not worth getting cops involved for a ~$60-70 loss.
Best you could do is report it to your local police department, but it's unlikely they'd do anything over such a low-dollar loss. Sorry.
I'm shocked they actually put "Penny" on the slab. ACG does not have the best numismatic reputation, but I would expect them to at least use...
I can't see anything wrong with it, but you should look here for reverse diagnostics. As for grade, I say VF 35 to XF 40, but I'd like better...
BRB, headed to the Simi Valley landfill... :P
Z5 and Z10 Air tites are 76.81mm diameter and 3.84mm/7.26mm thick, respectively. They're designed for 5 and 10 oz bullion coins, but might work...
I spotted this lovely coin a couple of days ago and fell in love. :) It's my first tetradrachm, and, yes, I bought the coin before the book, but...
I was hoping for a badly lit picture until I saw the angled shots.
I've seen them before. It is just a dealer sticker, but I don't know the name of the dealer.
Separate names with a comma.
