But Fatima, you are taking too literal Federal Reserve notes for dollars. Around the world, the "dollar" is US debt, so it has absolutely no...
Yes ma'am, sorry about that. Its just most people here are men. :)
I understand sir, but if your father is a coin collector he would not want these coins cleaned. He would also recognize that by cleaning them the...
I would say XF45 to Au50 depending on the surfaces. I just must be deficient as I always prefer to grade in hand than from a photo. :) Chris
Well bad news/bad news First, never clean a coin like you describe. It ruins its value, I mean dramatically. If these coins had been real, you...
One of the difficulties of new people to coin collecting is understanding that condition is just as critical as date and mintmark in determining...
Anyone have any opinion, or is Chris just off his rocker?
I see that as well. Very interesting history to be found in the Thames considering the conflicts going on between the two countries at the time.
Agreed. It appears to be of that period but the workmanship is too "good". These coins were never really meant to be coins, they were struck...
Temple types in general are much more in demand than "generic god standing" types. That is the first thing I noticed about the coin Mat, the...
Boy you will start a war with this. Are you talking about only US coins? If you are only talking US coins, I like the capped bust, but they aren't...
:) Not a war, I don't think I could ever disagree with Chris enough for that. We usually agree on most things, I am simply recalcitrant on this...
Mike, I don't collect these, (or any US coins anymore), but aren't other scarcer mintages of the series still relatively highly priced? 100k may...
Just wondering how you came up with a $155 value? That is at the crux of the argument, right? Even at the issue price, if you say its a $155 value...
You could have just deleted the entire thread Jim. I know nothing I said was terribly valuable. :)
Well NGC and PCGS refuse to grade an AU cleaned coin MS 65 as well, and their business model has been built on trust they have garnered by that...
Yes sir, fair point, I know businesses need to make a profit. I simply like to remind everyone this was not the premise under which TPG started...
Here's to hoping, but my Escalade already costs $100 to fill. :( Chris
Really? I don't think they can be let off the hook like that. The TPG know very well what they are doing, what kind of ripoffs they are enabling,...
My cloudy crystal ball prediction depends on future "rarities". If future anniversary sets are more like 250k mintage, and silver stays up, I say...
