Why is that? Is there something wrong with people wanting multiples of a certain date? Maybe they had different strikes, different grades, etc. I...
But again, since no one answered my post #157, WHAT grading system are they verifying? The slabs grading system, ANA, or their own? Sorry if I...
I agree it appears genuine. I looked at the photos for quite a while since its a better type, and the reverse is in nice shape. Nice coin. :)
I agree. Textbooks, especially social science ones, are always taught with a bias. This is why I read source material when possible, or read...
I see nothing wrong at all, but then again I am a coin hoarder. Seriously, what would be the issue? No one has the right to tell you how to...
First, I would like to see proof of it. Second, its an asset just sitting there doing nothing. If I was holding an asset generating me no returns,...
But personal anecdotes that support Fatima's position are valid newsworthy historical information. Those that don't are simply easily dismissed...
But historically democracies forbade the picture of a ruler on a coin. Read about the history of Roman Republican coinage. The fact Caesar put his...
Maybe I missed it, sorry if its a stupid question, but what grading standard does CAC say was fairly applied? Do they use PCGS' grading system for...

Its a nice original coin. Sorry if I sounded harsh, I just have bought a few (5-6), and handled many more. I know the issue pretty well. I would...
Well, if you want larger, NYINC is still here in the states. IDK, the CICF seems fairly good sized. I would think for more modern coins its not so...
Seriously? Look at her curls. These can be tricky, and of course I would wish to see it in hand, but these are almost always well struck, (tiny...
The "roll friction" I would accept, (and I know you consider me a purist), is when metal is displaced but there is evidence it was done by a...
Novelties. Around the Bicentennial there were literally millions of such counterstamps applied to cents and sold as "souvenirs". I have seen all...
Did you buy an old album? The circular toning looks like it. :) - edit, sorry I didn't see you already said it was from an album :(
I would not underestimate this risk either. Time was, (a decade ago), you could troll through Ebay and find some poorly described/photographed...
