Nice, from the Gallienus menagerie. Do you attempt to get the whole series? They are popular. Chris
Good information. I do not know much about those issues. I would agree PVC on any kind of collectible coin would be bad. Do you feel PVC on...
I would not care since its bullion. Any "PVC damage" would not be as bad for bullion as severe oxidation, since oxidation can lead to weight loss,...
Maybe for world coins, but for ancients its either XF, gXF, or FDC, (something I don't know if I would ever have the nerve to claim on a coin I...
You must be a better buyer than I. If I had to sell my coins, I sure as heck would lose money on many of them, probably most of them I have bought...
Yes it is. I kept this link someone posted here 6-9 months ago. I apologize I do not remember who posted it, but I did not find it myself:...
I wasn't arguing that, I was arguing the chart from its inception has been distorted to make investors believe coins are just as valid an...
I believe you could use soap and water. The only caveat I would have is while they are in contact with the soap leave them in the water, and when...
Also, just as an aside, I have always called shenanigans on that chart. The "PCGS 3000" has always been weighted heavily in high grade, high...
Well, solder is usually silver colored, and solder melts so there should not be a seam where is connects to the coin. I would bet the "sprues"...
I would guess the dime used to be attached to something else and those "casting marks" are solder or another way it was attached. Casting sprues,...
I agree, but its not the reality of coins when it comes to grading. Grading should be done with the naked eye, but when we start needing help I...
I have always used 5x for most coins unless its a really detailed study. I find ancients too porous and ugly under anything higher. :(
Personally, I think they were pulled out of circulation to a much greater extent by the public than the government. Any older relative when I was...
Well, I have never bought a product fromt he US Mint, but seeing as how my son is 4 weeks old, I think I may have to buy this set. It should be...
Yeah, that could be. I was just shocked how quickly it just wore away. You are right, though, those coins looked as bland as Ike did. I vote that...
Fair enough sir, I was just pointing out the downside to using internet attributions. I see way too many ancient collectors using Ebay or other...
Nvm. If anyone wishing to hear "bashers" of Mr. Carr's activities, there are threads here about it.
That is a fine workaround, except for one detail. You are assuming that the Overton number is correctly assigned. I know many people in ancient...
Btw, not sure if it would help, but I have relatives who live in KC and NE Missouri, as well as a childhood friend in St Louis. I do not want you...
