Here is an image of a photographer using what looks like a light table (the kind you use to view color-positive slides or negative films) and...
HEY! Who's tagging' me?
Yep. A tourist souvenir set. This is what I call a "Patent" set, for a lack of what the heck to call it(!) Sets like these have a Patent...
Is there "notching" somewhere? Am I missing it? Well, it kinda looks like it...
One of the more interesting discussions/arguments over grading standards that I've seen here at CT. CT should have a "Featured Discussion" link....
I believe that I have "merchant marks" on some Japanese 2-Sen coins. They are countermarked with arabic numeral "2" on the reverse side. What...
Very kindly of you. I was pretty stoked to win this one, needless to say! What some collectors of S. Korean coins might think is that the best...
It's a condition rarity. The coining metal used to make the planchets for this 10-Won coin changed from this 88% copper, 12% Zinc composition...

Wow. Your grandad was 51(!) when he had your father! When you say "world type set," just how extensive would the "world" be? How many countries?
And I am here to tell you, the results were AMAZING. The album he made with my coin images were much better than I had expected. Gxseries...
Easy: Iceland. 1926-1940 Very well possible, especially if you come upon some nice coin show finds, which I have for some. Some will be hard,...
Now that's an "autographed slab" (is it really autographed?) that I can support. It's good to see that the collecting community in the USA at...
YES! AND THEN encase the slabbed slab in clear-cast resin... Nothin' will get at it then! Not even the owner of the coin. But...
