illii, that's a great coin! Kind of cool that it says "Hamburger" also! :) Here's one from Hannover that is one of my favorite coins. [ATTACH]
I'm just going to go ahead and ask, because if I don't, the first person to reply will. Can you provide us with larger pictures of the mint-mark...
Their monetization is a technicality. If they are just another "coin" then are you buying your hotdogs at baseball games with your $1 ASEs? Give...
+1 This whole fiasco has just reassured me that I will never buy anything direct from the mint, especially not overpriced bullion trinkets.
The point is that the US Mint doesn't have to care about their image. My examples were apropos, whether you want to admit it or not. I'm not...
I don't quite get your logic. Are you suggesting that systems should be able to handle normal traffic, not abnormal traffic? If that's the case,...
The website fiasco is an example of the US Mint just being lazy and slow in updating their systems. If a Lady Gaga concert can sell out 35,000...
Maybe you missed the part about it being "JUST MY OPINION". I'm entitled to it just as you are. If you want to collect ASEs, go for it. I find...
You can have as many threads as you want....just post them in the Bullion Section where they belong. :p
Some people use the term "numismatics" loosely. This is not strictly an issue related to numismatics; this is sheer marketing of bullion trinkets...
It's always a happy surprise when I purchase a coin and the previous owner paid to have it imaged by PCGS. This is one of my newest acquisitions...
I read your other photos post, and your improvement in the past couple days is great! Keep up the good work!
Mintage of 6.4 million. Price book in VF20 of $7.50, XF40 of $25. I'd guess yours is somewhere closer to VF20. BTW, your pics are really...
I guessed 66. seems to be too much abrasion on the cheek bone in front of the ear to make the 67. VERY nice satiny fields on this one!
Put simply, yes there are thousands of each of the 4 designs graded, particularly in proofs. I have easy access to the NGC populations, and there...
Thanks for the link RedSeal. I really appreciate the reference!!
I can't get a clear description of the 20 Drachma Greek modern coins. One source says it "Selena the moon goddess on horse" the other says it is...
I can't read the text around the figure's bust. Can you type here what it says? It looks to say possibly something about "Preussen" or "Hessen"...
When you send coins to NGC, you can specify a minimum grade you want on a coin. If it doesn't make that grade, they will still put it in plastic...
Is that 1917-D in a plastic holder? It looks like it has a nice full-head, strong strike. Very pretty coin. If I had that one (because it is a...
Separate names with a comma.
