I'd rather have bullion coins inspired by the classic 1916 designs than an AGE any day. This doesn't affect whether I'm going to buy them or not. :)

2225444 doesn't look like a radar note to me. Looks cool though.
I'm assuming since you're posting in "Coin Chat," you mean a coin seller based in China. Good luck getting anybody here to say anything good...
Once it stops being a coin and starts being jewelry, the "toning" becomes "tarnish." If I were going to buy it, it would be based on its silver...
UNC details? Really? I mean, I see there's a lot of detail on the reverse, but it's clearly been buried or something, so I don't see how it...
I'd just show the coins to a trusted dealer with many years of experience in the industry. But, if you really want to send them to a...
The style on the tree is all wrong, and OP's coin clearly seems to have an outline of a bust on it that wouldn't be on a Judean prutah. You might...
Interesting piece. Are there encrustations on the surface or is that all just porosity? It looks like copper or bronze, so I'm wondering if a...
Of the two, I would choose the coin with the better strike, hands down. That said, I am wondering if it got a bit of a grade bump for the better...
I read the whole thread here, and all I can really conclude is that I'm not buying the "harshly cleaned die" theory. If that were a possibility,...
I love those "Treasure Hunt" labels. :)
If anything is going to take it off and not hurt the coin, it would be acetone (or xylene). If they're painted, that might work, but it might...
That 6d is amazing!
These don't excite me in the least. I'd buy them if they were (say) 1915-dated overstrikes, but I don't like silver rounds much. At least there...
That's correct.
All I see is sweet, sweet originality. :) There's a possibility it'd benefit from an acetone bath, but she's beautiful the way she is. Great...
Not always. That would work if the mint mark were glued on, but some added mint marks are actually soldered on, and there's a third method to add...
I did the exact same thing. 68-D was one of the last few holes I filled past 1940, but I ended up with a really nice one when it finally arrived. :)
I just don't get it. Is this what it's come to? We're now criticizing what other people collect and how they have fun with the hobby? SMH I'm...
