I am now using CollecOnline, and find it terrific- light years beyond CollectiveCoin. It has fields where you can enter all your accounting...
That's what you get when you deal with someone who bears the Mark of the Beast. :vamp:;) [ATTACH] (Edit- aha- you beat me to the joke, by...
The coin in the picture looks 64 to me. Maybe 65 on a good day. However, the fact that they only posted an obverse image screams "stock photo"...
Optimism? Greed? Insanity? Those words come to mind, but that's just how my mind works, when it thinks about a $1K ASE. There's no such thing...
I’ve often noticed crazy pricing like this from dealers who do not specialize in ancients. I suspect you are correct.
Yep. Cheap 19th century silver with this look? I’d buy ‘em all day long.
Funny, I never thought of the rays on the 1866-67 nickels as resembling fireworks, but I guess they kinda do. So that makes at least three of us....
Numista-1922, Krause-Mishler-3. This was a fun bulk bag find. It catalogs $15.00 in XF as of this writing, and I believe this particular example...

I don't see anything that looks "off" to me, though you'll want to wait for more experienced responders. Sure, the toning is a little bit funky,...
I like the second one. Can't tell if it was "heavily smoothed", as you say, or just worn? Looks acceptable to me in any event.
I do not see the die crack under the 1 as shown in the first photo you posted (the AU58). It does have a rather squishy 8 and second 6 like in...
Looks like a dip candidate, but you'll need to proceed carefully. Me, I'd dunk it in the dip and then, while the stuff was still on the surface...
I like it, and the misaligned-die obverse is cool.
I collect for numismatic value, history, and eye appeal, and don't worry about bullion prices. If spot goes up, and increases the bullion value...
99.999999999 percent chance it's fake. Bet that sucker sticks to a magnet.
Well now, that certainly looks interesting, but errors are not my forte, so I'll defer to more experienced opinion on that.
It's an 1865.
Neither do I, but Patrick did, despite the limitations of my photography. Of course I wasn’t looking. I leave the tiny die variety stuff to...
