You dang right I used my kids to justify getting out of this -9 this morning state in January and be able to go to a coin show, er, Disney World,...
Let me know where you will be sir and I will make sure to stop by to say hi! :)
I too would like to know what any slabbing service would say. I do trust their advice on authenticity, just not on grades. Btw, sorry OP if I...
Oh, I would LOVE to be able to go and meet all of you at NYINC. I believe Anoob and I in particular would have a blast talking about our weird...
I should have gone there instead of FUN, but you know what? I am in Minnesota and there is no stinking way I am going to NYC in Jan when I can go...
That Constantine looks better now. Bing, I am cheap as well but do not see how that Constantine is only a $20 coin. Constantine yes, but not that...
In short, off the top of my head, the dates on the first two coins are of the wrong style, and the CC mintmark on the last is wrong. Hope that...
I am with Doug and if you have a chance would like to see other photos of the Constantine. It could just be the photograph, but I agree something...
Yeah, I am convinced this is just a low grade drachm. Man they were really thick. Eh, I got 10 ancients and medieval for $50, including an As and...
I normally agree with your posts sir but in this case do not. Since NNC is not a generally recognized TPG company, I would go back against the...
Is it a function of the S mint Tom? I believe my two examples are P mints. Did SF mint them differently at times?
Really, I had no idea. I was debating about whether to crack them out, but don't want the hassle of having to worry about fingerprints like you do...
If it helps, after looking at the reverse maybe it is supposed to be an owl. At the top looks like a couple of dots, (eyes?), and at the bottom a...
Very sweet sceat. An exemplary example of a very early British coin.
Just picked this up in a junk lot of ancients. I like it, since it seems early. Its very thick, resembling a Persian Sigloi in hand. The reverse...
I am not an expert, just own a couple, but the LIBERTY bothers me. Is that normal? That and overall mushiness bothers me sir.
Here are three I bought today for $50 over melt, (cumulative). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I mentioned at another location I was buying gold...
Its much worst than that. A whizzed coin is a damaged coin, just as much as if you punch a hole through it. Once whizzed, the coin will forever be...
You want one that can read in tenths of grams, but it doesn't need to read over 50 grams really unless you want to collect really large coins, (no...
I agree with all here. Its possible its just a very miserable strike. They were known to happen with Peace dollars. OTOH, yes whizzers can...
Separate names with a comma.
