From the mint: Dear Mr XYZ- Thank you for your enquiry of 17 May which has been forwarded to the Museum for a response. Unfortunately, owing...
Does anyone have any idea why Bitkin has the words "Donative Coins" listed in the bottom right corner of page 952 of Volume 2? The page describes...
Agree, does not look right, the obverse fields are too smooth, and then the reverse fields exhibit an even texture or porosity to them that almost...
I sent them an email from work today, -we'll see if they reply. By mid-May you would think that number would be rather well established for 2015...
I guess I will have to wait. That link is for the 1/4 Sovereign in proof. I added a few of the regular mint state full Sovereigns last year dated...
Does anyone have a link that will provide mintage numbers for GB 2015 gold Sovereigns?
I don't think I would be inclined to purchase a coin like that, especially for 170 Euros. For less than twice as much, a better example can be...
Well that's no fun! But all things being equal, perhaps easier to sell in a PCGS holder when the time comes to sell. Most of the coins I have...
Nice set of coins you have there Siberian Man!
Agree completely. I suspect the real problem surrounds decisions being made by F+W in Cincinnati. They should be allowing the folks in Iola to...
Many of those Czech silver coins from that era have fantastic designs, though I've always thought the Stalin issue was a wee bit weak...
My point precisely, most dealers can't do both unless they spend twice the money and bring additional help with them to staff a second table at...
The United States Mint? I don't think that would work. Most world coin collectors are a bit more sophisticated than the likes of what was seen...
I agree, the coins I have handled in ICCS holders are nearly always nicer for the grade than anything you would likely find in an NGC or PCGS...
Looks like the dates and location for the CICF have been announced for next year. April 6 - 9, 2017 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel and...
Yeah, multiple Dukaten coinage, I could go in for that. If we split a powerball we could likely dump a good portion of it competing against each...
1902 Russia 37.5 Rouble, straight graded without impairment. (Bitkin 315, Uzdenikov 4212, Friedberg 170, KM YB65) About 150 grand in MS-61.
I will be at CICF, very much looking forward to it!
It's unlawful in many parts of the United States as well, especially national parks which unfortunately probably contain some of the best...
Some of the best sources for new collectors are large group lots sold off by the auction houses (Heritage, Stack's, etc.) that contain coins too...
