Miss something ? No. But I don't think understand how it works. Clad planchets are all made the same, a copper core clad with an outer layer of...
There have been similar ideas before, but in the end it never worked out. The cost is too prohibitive and there are never enough orders to even...
This will help some - http://www.cointalk.com/t14112/ But books will do a lot more. But it depends on the type of coins and or time period that...
Please post a picture of it so we know what you are talking about.
No argument there. But, depending on what you want to learn, you would be well advised to spend your money on books that will actually help reach...
petronius - let me ask you a question. Since it is a known fact that no 2 coins of the same grade are alike - how could one possibly grade a coin...

If it were me, I would just charge an hourly rate + expenses and be done with it.
I'm not saying having the number is a bad thing, it isn't. I'm just saying that sometimes trying to look a coin up by KM number alone is very...
I would say it should be more like AU53. For a coin to be graded AU58 it should only have the slightest traces of wear on the high points. But...
There are no rules for calling a group of coins a hoard. Sometimes even a small group of 30 coins is called a hoard and other times there are a...
Not really, a lot of the time the KM numbers do not run in order in the book. So if all you had was the KM number, you could sometimes search for...
I don't know how you got that out of what I said. It is most definitely not my meaning. As I have said countless times, even a coin that you get...
Separate names with a comma.
