Yes, it is true.
There is a reason that ANACS offers deals like this, and a reason that ANACS slabbed coins sell for less than those slabbed by NGC or PCGS....
I didn't suggest that it was. But what we must remember is that the war ended in different places at different times. I was only referring to the...
No, of course I'm not sure that it's fake. But I am sure that neither France nor Sardinia would couple a coin of theirs with the reverse of a coin...
Not really. The eagle's left leg and breast are the best places to look. The left leg in your pic plainly shows that this coin had a weak strike.
Quite true. However, the thing that we must remember is that we cannot assume that every example of a given date/mint was weakly struck. If you...
The posts that I deemed to be out of place have been removed. Lehigh, Dime - one more word out of either of you in the same vein and I'm going to...
I believe it has something to do with commemorating the end of WW I in the French Colonies.
The only thing that makes any sense is that it is a fake of some sort. No coin of Louis XIIII ever had that reverse. Even a jeton would not have...
OK - time to answer. I paid $1.20 for that Proof Jeff. Coinman was the closest. You're up !
Why ? Just call it my gut feeling after watching the market for so long.
Paul I don't know what you are seeing, but everything on that coin is toned blue to my eyes. Including all the devices and legends, but it really...
The way the OP's question is asked - yes, numismatic values are rising with PM prices as evidenced in the graph. [IMG] But - I do not think...
The only thing I disagree with Mike is your use of the word "most" in your last sentence. From I have observed I think most collectors do the...
Oh I like the design, I've always loved City View thalers ! Should have known you were too sharp to be fooled, or at the least paid so little that...
Well let me put it this way. Say there is a coin that regularly sells for $2k in a given grade. Now put one of the same up for sale, but this time...
Normally I would have very little if ever anything negative to say about a coin you post. But in this case I feel like I need to make an...
As guessed by others I would call it a 65. But I have little doubt the TPGs would at least call it a 67. And the coin is cameo.
Paul - rather than having a positive effect, I was thinking more along the lines of it having a negative effect. It isn't semantics. It's...
Paul - if people knew how to tell the difference between the types of lines, or even knew that there was a difference, then the they would...
Separate names with a comma.
