Yep. Somewhere up there, there's a newly-arrived ex-collector, holding his harp with one hand as he face-palms with the other.
That's "Brandenburg". ;) I had a moment there where I thought my uncle had been an ancient collector, unknown to me. But I looked up this Gene...
No, I don't think die deterioration generally counts as a "variety", does it? Just a particularly low-valued class of error. ...Until someone...
Hey, "technically accurate but goofy" is my department, thank you very much. :rolleyes: Technically, when I fill up my gas tank, I'm gambling...
With over half a billion AFTER taxes? Don't forget to get a nice gold Eid Mar to prop them up in the display.
Yup. I actually thought about buying a ticket this time around, but didn't, so my chances are an almost immeasurable amount poorer than someone...
Welcome aboard!
That is one NICE piece!
13.25xFV was an absolute steal! If I'm not mistaken, that's below spot even at the recent low. I would've jumped on that, too -- it's been a while...

Back over $20 tonight! Which will it hit first: $30, or $15?
Those last shots make it look like even the "wear areas" have some luster. I'm lousy at this sort of grading, but it's not going very far out on a...
A 50% premium means in the long term you'll get only 2/3 as much gold as you would without the premium. That... bothers me.
Based on that photo, though, I've got to say OP's coin doesn't really resemble either one. Rather, it seems more different from both than the Open...
I tried to look up open vs. closed 3, and PCGS has an image comparing the two, but the shot of the open 3 is worthless -- it was apparently...
ANACS does give numeric grades on detail coins up to 60, where NGC and PCGS just do XF/AU/Unc Details. But I can't find any example of a details...
Really?! ;)
And, of course, we have lots who claim to bring down the deficit with a decrease in taxes, akin to "we'll sell at a loss and make it up on...
Sure you can, until you get caught!
