There's something very odd about a Boston Tea Party commemorative with a British monarch on the reverse. Just saying.
Yeah, that last one's barcode scans as a Hawaii 1883 $1 in XF45 (listing is a France 1815-A 20 francs). In fact all four of those listings have...
There is also a PCGS Morgan designated "reverse struck through grease" on Heritage so it seems they do it too, or did....
I can totally see where someone would ask that, and it made me chuckle because maybe that was the intent - it sure gets your attention. Perhaps...
Impossible to know without knowing how much they actually paid for the coins....
Why on earth would you do this to any coin, let alone an 83 you think is copper? You seem to be looking for the valuable 1982-D copper by ruining...
I think you also can't put a specific grade in the listing nor have an image of the grade on the slab. Not that they enforce it much.
Yes, please post more. Spouse also Thai. I have some more recent commemoratives that everybody there seems to have, but would enjoy seeing the...
Or prizes at a carnival.
Reading more thoroughly these posts by @Burton Strauss III and @jrg79, I trust the chart more. Numbers for early coins are in multiples of grains...
As long as this thread has gone so far off the rails... KFC is very popular in Thailand, of all places. It's horrible there.
Have you ever watched Pawn Stars? Every time I see Rick handle a coin it makes me shudder.
I checked some of them last night and for a few examples the tolerance worked out to fairly exact percentages, for example 4%. Others seem wonky -...
Was it paid for with a cashier's check for $1000 and you gave them back the $200 extra because they just needed to get some cash?
There's no way to judge die rotation from those photos because we have no idea how accurately the coin was flipped. The slight misaligned die is...
If you do your coin collecting while standing instead of sitting, you'll burn 32-50 more calories per hour. You're welcome....
I was wracking my brain for where I'd seem something similar before. Could it be the same process that creates trail dies and so-called wavy...
Odds: Odd because coins from the first reverse design didn't stack properly, so they quickly modified it and started coining reverse II. Why...
Very interesting, never heard of it. My initial question after reading the link is - how do they know it's on the die? It seems to me that it's...
I would say the answer is very little interest. I appreciate the minutia involved in identifying them and giving them a Wexler number, but there...
Separate names with a comma.
