I would also like to add, if you have the extra cash, the proof mercury dime is one of the more affordable classic coin proof issues.
It's nearly impossible to confuse the proof from business strikes. Some things, as mentioned, come with looking at tons of coins.
Makes sense as I've seen several British and European coins enameled in this fashion. Some are done exceptionally well.
I love odd facts like this!
@Croatian Coin Collector if you love gold coins, @panzerman is the king of gold world coins here in my opinion. Search some of his past posts and...
Neat. I like a lot of the FM Caribbean issues because they feature birds!
Here's a couple from a quick numista search. They're thalers, so likely quite expensive. It also pulled up a multitude of patterns. The issue...
I use the Krause German Coins 1600-present catalogue several times a week. It is always a starting point, but some coins aren't included or...

Maybe..lol. I think with small coins, it shouldn't matter, but for half dollar or larger, I think they would like the larger ones.
I deal with NGC. Not knowing any better, my first two submissions were in 2X2 flips. On return of the second one, they included a brochure...
I use NGC for grading. I've owned ANACS and ICG slabbed coins as well. I think, until you get to the MS grades, both companies are essentially...
Aaah, it was a CuNi one. I guess I've never had a CuNi Indian.
It's very fun! I found out I can't grade Morgan's to save my life and I over grade gold. Ready way to spend a few idle minutes.....lol
Wow. There's another prolific seller in Portugal I buy from a few times a year and his shipping is less than $10. I don't understand that $1,000...
