I paid just under $400 in early 2022. The overall look caught my eye and I think I paid a bit on the high end at that particular time. It’s the...
Given the less than stellar reputation of this grading company, I’m surprised that GC has so many of their notes in the their auctions. For world...
Here is my budget example I picked up a few years ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think that is a more common designation for ancient coins but the surface looks messed with and too smooth to be natural.
Smoothed perhaps?
I’m going to offer a less popular opinion. A lot of rattlers and OGH’s I see in auctions appear to be less than desirable for the grade....
I’ve been bidding on some currency auctions on Great Collections and have picked up a few world notes graded by Legacy. It seems that Legacy is...
It ain’t worth a plug nickel…
I thought the coin looked good at first glance. I didn’t notice the scratches until someone pointed them out. To me it looks like a perfectly...

A lot of coins meet the technical criteria for a given grade but still have crappy eye appeal. The “toning craze” has nothing to do with that....
The marks on the cheek, chin and nose of the ‘89 are all in the same direction. I can see why that would be viewed as more than just a heavy bag...
The Cyrillic letters are gibberish. It looks like a cheap pot metal fantasy coin.
I agree with some of the items on your list. The question is, what is here to stay and what is eventually going to go the way of Beanie Babies?...
What country minted them? Are they tokens or actual legal tender coins?
That’s another personal favorite but, like MS Barbers, not something I can afford on any frequent basis.
This. Most surviving Barbers are in the AG/G and below range and are butt ugly. But at least for me, the higher grade ones are some of the most...
That’s not even a very nice MS64. The toning looks like it might have turned in the holder. I see that on a lot of rattler coins. I suspect a...
Separate names with a comma.
