Congrats! I came up empty but winning the lot I was interested in wasn't a huge priority.
Very nice! There was a big Wild Man sale today at SB. I sort of had my eyes on one, but it went for more that I wanted to spend. Of course, I...
They accept my stickers now, so maybe they'd send it to me for attribution. :wacky:
Old slab mania would make this an expensive $50 coin once you add the error and the spider. I'd attribute the spider and put a sticker on it if...
This one I bought at the show, 1744-Mo 8 Reales. Nice, wholesome, crusty surfaces. [IMG] This one showed up in the mail while I was at the...
I leave the camera gear at the show overnight. No need to lug it all home.
As has become somewhat of a large show tradition, I acquired another matte proof Lincoln from Angel Dee's today. 1910 in PR66BN to keep my 1909,...
Spread a bit thin, regrettably. I have two more newps for this forum coming soon. I'd shoot them now, but my camera is at the ANA show and I'm...
Haven't posted here for a while, so why not now? I just got this in the mail today. Earliest prime number date for the 16th century. 1511 Bremen...
You can't compare auction companies by comparing their buyer's fees. You always have to know what they are so you can figure out what your bid...
If the die pair doesn't change and you see signs of wear on either side, it shows the order in which the coins are made. There are no Benjamin...
Look at the rest of the coin, not the mint mark, and it'll be easy to tell which came first. Look at die wear, die cracks, polishing, sharpness...
The pictured coin has three strong letters of LIBERTY and 4 weak ones. Unfortunately, it also has scratches from a nasty attempt to re-outline...
That's usually the way clashes work, unless one die is significantly softer than the other one. This particular variety is a "counter-clash",...
Looks like VAM 50A. Popular, but not all that rare.
Are you going to be at the ANA show in August?
The mint is fully capable of making these as they were over 100 years ago, when they looked better. Instead of a proper reducing machine giving...
This is a coin that should be seen in person by someone who knows the series before submitting to a TPG. It could save you a ton of money and time.
I didn't see this thread the first time around, I guess. The known authentic 1928 die pairs are well-documented on VAMWorld. The mess in the...
Melt is $460. $500 may have been an impressive going rate when gold was under $400/oz. in 2000, but not so much right now.
