In my experience, every club I've been to has been different and done it differently. Some have a small "show" before or after the meeting where a...
Interesting slab. I have never heard of this company. Do they focus on French or European coins, or do they do everything?
For the most part, I like these. They definitely could have done more switching up the cent and nickel. I really like the half dollar and the...
Whether you blew out your budget or not, you got a nice coin for a good price. Especially when you take the VAM into account!
At least tell us what it was!
I would also highly recommend the Registry sections of PCGS, NGC and (I think CAC has a registry?) These registries contain complete and partial...

It is supposed to be a shooting festival coin from Bern, https://de.numista.com/17144 But I'd wager 5 Franks it is a cast fake. You just aren't...

I think this thread will be far more valuable if you tell us exactly what coin and what inputs you gave this ai.... and exactly what output it...
Really cool piece. A few questions: - what drew you to this particular piece? - is this part of a series based on Napoleonic battles? or part...
