Unofficially, my gut feeling is that something is stuck to the coin, and that if I were to dab it with a solvent like acetone (which will not harm...
I agree. Google translate is blocked from where I sit, but the answer that "ed voeten" gives is probably the best one, although I haven't...
Yes, I'd need to see it in person. @usmc60, when and where did you serve in the Marine Corps?
Well, if you're only buying one coin, make it count! Nice!
Nothing wrong with that pile for $30. The Seated half has too much detail for PO1. Probably would grade FR-AG, but the hack across the reverse...

There's the rub. There is an unknown, but significant amount of gold lost on the ugly love token. I wouldn't buy these without putting them on a...
I agree, but they never do. Perhaps it's because the post office frowns on you sending that in the mail.
Contact Hugh Wood about adding shipping insurance to what you have. You should be able to specify a limit on shipping coverage independent of the...
Cracking open a Miller over one coin? Imagine what I'm knocking back after someone sends me a roll of these.
I just received an e-mail from CAC confirming this: "We only use the numeric grade when determining whether a coin gets a sticker or not."
If NGC cracks the coin before grading it, don't send it to NGC. It seems ironic that the company that for a very long time had the worst holders...
The 44-D $5 crack-out looks risky from here.
Last high relief proof Peace dollar struck. [ATTACH]
Two Indian 10 Rupee coins?
