I haven't noticed, but it always happens that way. I take it as mini-hoards hitting the market. I like to buy when I notice them, as frequently...
I stand corrected of course. Sorry OP, I was ignoring the first reverse shot and thought the second reverse shot was the same coin just shot at a...
I would agree with the 62, especially with the black spot on the top of the obverse, I would simply bet a TPG would grade it 63 today. If they...
Like me? :) My comment was more being able to see the real coin. I doubt I will ever own an octodrachm, or many other great rarities, but if I...
You think they are two different coins Doug? I was assuming one coin, and thought the third pic was "emperor dragging captive from hut" type, and...
While I thought the OP article pretty ill informed and poorly researched, yours jjack is downright scary. I know the intent of the law is to allow...
Plus there is a "give a crud" factor. Most dealers simply do not wish to list cheap coins, due to expense of processing the order. Inexpensive...
Not to be a jerk, but I would also recommend you learn to grade yourself sir. If you collect coins, this is probably the best thing you can do for...

I agree with SQG, I would guess old cleaning and retone. The old cleaning does not look harsh, but I would wish to see it in hand to make sure....
Good to know about Long Beach. Sounds a lot like CICF. I like going there, (though the trip can be pricey), but yeah you don't see a lot of deals...
You hit on two countries that can be hard. To me Georgia and Armenia depend on era. I have my ancient ones associated with either Greek coins for...
Agreed. Penny Lady is a wonderful person and dealer, but unfortunately would not be my first recommendation for Bust halves or mercury dimes....
I think it would be worth it Mat. My drive from work to twin cities coin club is at least that, (about 45 minutes from home), and I find its worth...
Yes he was a nice man who always had kind things to say. I too hope for the best of course, but after reading his last post am not too hopeful. It...
Don't tempt me, what with winter about to hit the great state of Minnesota any day now. Not sure about LA, but California sure sounds nice about...
