I’m not sure you could properly call a winged lion a gryphon (I thought gryphons had a lion’s body and an eagle’s head?) But a winged lion still...
That’s a tough call, because of the nice toning on the BN example. I think I slightly prefer the RD myself, but the BN is quite nice. I can see...
Thank you. That’s the kind I referred to. While I prefer the hand-carved ones, those are cool too. I like the owl. “VAMPIRE FRANÇAIS” is...
That’s one reason I don’t put any text in my templates. If I did, I would invariably miss stuff like that myself.
Anybody want a gold Wildman coin with a shipwreck pedigree? I mean, how cool is that? :greedy:
Nothing wrong with that, if you’re overpaying with open eyes, and know that you’re doing so.
Those of us who do Ancients are quite familiar with the term. One of my better Romans even had some done (note NGC’s “lt. smoothing” note.) Of...
If I didn’t already have this MS63 (and I hadn’t also had a circulated example quite similar to yours), I think I’d have cheerfully paid $400 (or...
Another griffin/gryphon. [IMG]

Hi. It is time for me to again attempt a birthyear set of 1965 coins. I want them in PCGS plastic with TrueView images. Technical grade does not...
Yes, it does have very sharp details to it.
That's what I wonder. I wouldn't guess whizzed, because I'd expect to see parallel lines if that were the case. Edit: aha. I just read the...
These Napoleon III satirical coins are neat. Though there were of pieces that were completely die-struck (like those ones with an owl instead of...
Ooh! Nice array of big bronze! I can see why you are passionate about them. (You're far from the only person who is, as prices attest.) I...
Funky indeed- but interesting- toning. I wouldn't call it attractive, but it... umm... has character.
PS- it's interesting how their (crazy) price for average circulated Buffalo nickels actually decreased from 2024 to 2026. I haven't gotten one of...
Littleton is legendary for high prices. That being said, I'm not one of their many haters. They do put out a nice catalog, sell nice quality (if...
I've only bought directly from the Mint once- just one of the 1992 Columbus commemorative halves. So no regrets about the appreciation or...
