I agree, any certification is just providing some protection as to what the coin is, its no guarantee of value.
Sad, Cyrene coins are one of my favorites, and something like this will probably lead to a ban on imports. I am all for catching the losers who...
No sir, you are not incorrect, and I agree that 15 years ago may have been an unusual case. I was simply pointing it out so everyone here has a...
Yes, I thought that too Lindedad. I should have notated that assumption in my post, thank you.
OP, I think that it should be forwarded since you have a change of address form on file. In my experience this can add a week or two to the time,...
I was buying silver 15 years ago, trust me an ounce of silver would NOT buy 10 gallons of gas. More like 3. You are correct commodities hold...
What is interesting to me is how the rest of the coin looks pretty worn. That by itself is rare. Given that, and the nature of this damage, I do...
There is a very good chance that any in existence now reside in MS62 holders. :) Chris
Slippinin, I have read this thread and I think maybe you misunderstand a point Doug made. He said the banks pay for these coins. He is not, (not...
Brg is right, if you wish to ask our opinions we will need to see a close up of the mintmark area. However, the graders are extremely proficient...

Goldmember, I would simply state for the record that Chris is a huge asset here, and everyone would be wise to listen to him. I don't see him as...
Chris, that is harsh. You are, (were), the type of customer that the mint should have reached out to for this offering. Good customers of the mint...
Yeah, the quarters in Barbers are the bear, (a lot like seated liberty, and bust, and draped bust....). Seems as if quarters were not as popular...
Weird, never heard of a cancellation fee on a sale. I suppose its fine whatever two parties agree to, I just hope everyone is aware of it if they...
Excellent post. Returns are geometric, not arithmetic, and therefor a 10% decline is more severe than a 10% rise is good. This is the foundation...
I always find changing what I buy to recharge my collecting batteries. I went through what you went through on US coins, and stopped collecting...
Just for fun, I will list a few different scenarios that could happen. If you could humor me, just let me know which ones you believe should be...
I agree it has to be before around 1930 or so. I have seen many obscure good luck tokens. This one has a ton going for it, prosthetic leg, (when...
Separate names with a comma.
