I agree with your sentiments here @SuperDave . I will also agree with @physics-fan3.14 , I think Todd is very good, but I don't think he's the...
OK, since this post was resurrected, I'll play along. :D These are among my most eye appealing coins. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Another of the INA Retro Issue fantasy coins in my collection. I have been slowly pulling these out and taking images. This one is a later...
As a few others have clarified, the term "sight unseen" to most people in this hobby means, "not seen in person". The vast majority of my...
It looks like a gaming token to me also. Queen Elizabeth died in 1901, so it's a bit odd that it would be a medal of any kind with a date of...
I bid on only one coin in the Heritage auctions around and shortly after NYINC and FUN. It was actually from the Dallas auction on 13 Jan. I won...

You all may think this is just some push into China, but NGC is proposing using this red and another blue core insert on some ASEs. You know, for...
Well the one that sold at Heritage about 2 weeks ago DOES have those exact kind of lines...and they match up with the one you posted. It is also...
The gold coin posted by the OP is clearly either struck over another coin, or struck more than once. I think what you're seeing as "a gouge"...
