Why would a doctor work on a cat's leg to spay her? Isn't the...uh..ahem, "plumbing" on the other end of the cat? I think the vet ripped you...
Hey, even selling bullion gets boring. They just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. YOU were paying attention. Now where's your free...
Agree with the "improperly cleaned". The patina's been stripped off, it looks like.
Oh, it could very well be cleaned. The area at 3:30 and 6 o'clock on that obverse could very well be harshly cleaned using chemical treatment(?)...
Many see it that way, yes. Micro-grading is very much an effort to create new markets and a way to increase the values of coins. Sure, people...
Not so sure about my memorial cent here. I'm still kinda wavering on whether it ~officially~ has an "According-to-Hoyle problem" or not. SO on...
Yes, the item description in that eBay listing noted in the OP is appropriate. It's a jar o' coins, so what's the problem? Here's a picture of...
Nice buys, both of them. I would think there would be higher-grade examples of that Australian commemorative, at least in 64/65. Looks like...
Could you explain the different items represented in the design? I see a thistle bulb, an aloe plant, and a shamrock. Oh, and a crown. I get...
I wish I could go someday. I'd love to run out of money before seeing them all... Usually, I leave a coin show with the same amount of money...
I wonder what the "new Liberty" will look like? Will she look like that one design someone shared here at CT, the one that looks like Angelina...
But isn't the surface preparation for the planchets of proof coins different than business strikes?
Then I strongly doubt that mine is one of the "proofs"! Sure as heck looks really purdy though!
I believe that in 1965, the last year that NZ released these "old" coins, based on the maddeningly-complicated "British" coin-value system...
Some here have suggested that instead of using gloves (which some think are not good for coins) people should dip their fingers in acetone before...
Airtites for any of your important coins. Non-polyvinylchloride (PVC plastic) or wooden containers anywhere near your coins (including the box or...
How frickin' awesome is this?! A very deep kowtow to you, sir! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Christian. Do all of the operating mints in Germany make silver proofs? I am just wondering if the reason the Karlsruhe mint took on the...
I agree! Christian, can you tell me more about the Staatliche Münze (State Mint) in Karlsruhe? Did/does that mint strike circulation coins? S....
I personally don't see what the problem is: NGC has graded it PR-69! What do buyers want, a PR-70 manifold plumb craft flexible gas coated metal...
