Whoop! Whoop! Nice "CircCam" there! You should post that one here, as well!
I don't agree with this practice by the TPGs (all coins of the same type should be graded to the same standard, regardless of whether they're...
Glad to help. You see, the 1877 @Eduard posted is the "king" of the series. (The 1909-S is arguably the second-best to have.)
It matters a LOT in this case. The 1877 is the key date for the series, while 1899 is a common date. Here's the Numismedia trend prices for the...
SOLD! These went fast, over on the CU site. There's more love tokens where these came from, though- I just gotta catch up on my picture taking....
Indeed. Who is it who uses that same Saburov Lincoln potrait with the top hat as an avatar here? Embarrassingly, my memory eludes me for the...
Oh. I thought you said al marcovan. :P Seriously, though, I'd never heard of this. Got closer pix of the gouges? Interesting.
Wanna see the work of one of the finest hobo engravers in the business? Aleksey Saburov's originals often go for four figures. (His...
Per PCGS Photograde: Here is G4. [IMG] Here is G6. [IMG] Here is VG8. [IMG] So G6 is, by comparison with these examples, actually pretty...
Full rims there, and just a little bit of headband with the L in Liberty showing. That's solid G4 territory, and arguably G6. A lot of the G4...
There's a link right there in the OP. It's on eBay. At $162.50 as of this post, with 1 day and 17 hours left. I would be surprised if it closed...
... or, considering I just accidentally posted two cornucopias in a row without realizing it, we could go with that theme. Scantily-clad ladies...
I'd say continue with anchors, but we've done that. Let's switch to scantily-clad ladies. ;) Not necessarily nudes. Gauzy drapery works, too....
Another anchor. This one is not mine... yet. But it might become mine within the next 24-48 hours or so, depending on the response to the email...
PS- in PCGS plastic with a straight grade, it would list for $550 in G4, $650 in G6, and $800 in VG8, so this is definitely one of those coins...
I personally see it as a G6 to borderline VG8. Some minor surface issues, but I think it has a reasonably decent chance at a straight-grade if...
@dwhiz- this one made me think of you, for some reason. ;) It's being auctioned by a seller I believe is the artist himself. I have not done...
Here's the CoinFacts plate coin, by way of comparison. Note in particular the difference between the date numerals on the counterfeit in the...
What @Evan8 and @Omegaraptor said. A blatant fake, most definitely "Made in China". Sticks out like a sore thumb. Sorry.
BTW, I did have a SevAlex in my original Roman collection. Ugly and horn silver, but it cost me less than ten bucks, and didn't seem bad at all...
