Hi Cathy, (@Stork ): You didn't do badly in your purchase. There are only 1,000 of the PL Restrikes around, and the high relief of them is far...
You're welcome. The problem is that there is a LOT of misinformation out there. Krause kind of throws stuff together without knowing the whole...
Krause isn't the place to find reliable information on this issue. I will look in my copy of Giordano's Portraits of a Prince, which gives...
Appears to be clear rub, but still luster remaining. I'd go AU53/55 given those images. My opinion may change with better pictures.
@hotwheelsearl , $1 for such a beautifully designed note is a steal IMO. Really lovely note!
Very nice images @jtlee321 . The real test is if you can get images like this one through plastic. :D Just to clarify, you mean, take 256 to...
Ray (@rmpsrpms ) I love every one of your posts. You are truly the guru, ninja, jedi, etc. of coin photography as a science. You are simply...
These two shooting medals were recently picked up from fellow board member @Zohar444 . Artistically stellar pieces in hand. The 1883 is fully...

I just wanted to follow-up here... @princeofwaldo , that coin is truly superb. I'd personally leave it alone in its current holder. The PCGS...
PCGS doesn't attribute PL on world coins as a designation. Only as a strike type (e.g., the PL65 coins from Canada you might see). NGC will...
I picked up this little guy in an auction last night -- should have in a week or so. This is one of the 1960s restrikes, originals were issued in...
This thread is chock full of self-promotion by our new member, Mr. Lott. Interpret that how you will. It's an historically interesting coin,...
Your numbers don't add up. You account for 7, but state only 6 were minted. ---------------------------------------- 4 British Museums 1 Queen's...
Inca, (Peru 1881-1882; banknotes only, no coins)
That Merc in the center of your top photo is stunning! All are superb, but that one really stands out.
None of us know what kind of shady dealings happen behind closed doors in the coin dealer world. I'm not a conspiracy theory whacko, but I also...
