Then I have accomplished my goal for my goal is to 1 - enjoy myself and 2 - to help others ;)
Personally, no I do not think that coins with active verdigris on them should be slabbed. That is how they (the TPGs) treat coins with any other...
Glad to hear I was wrong and that they are genuine. Just so you know, there are only 34-39 known examples of the 54 in VF out of a total known of...
The RF in an oval was used by Gaudeloupe and stood for Republique Francaise. Just the letters along with a date are also known. But I know of...
As I have said before - be careful what you ask for. For those of you who are not aware of it the powers that be at the US Mint read this...

Have to agree - harshly cleaned.
No it's not a joke. And any here but the more recent members have known it for some time. I sold my last collection & quit collecting coins 4...

Why ? The only thing that would ever do you any good in court would be a receipt from when you bought it. Having a picture of a coin is not...
Take your best guess. You have to submit coins under value tiers anyway, so that will roughly determine the amount for you. No worries on that...
Love the reverse ! Most Goetz stuff never rang any bells for me, but every now then there is one I like. Used to be guy on the PCGS World and...
There is only one way that is legit if I understand you correctly. And that is sending them off to either NGC or PCGS to be graded and slabbed....
If it were me, I'd prefer a ring. But I'm with you all the way on the sentiment :thumb:
Question for you Charmy. In reading the show reports in the coin mags I can almost predict what the reports will say based on who the author of...
Let's not forget that PCGS only requires the middle band for FB and on this coin it is borderline. And borderline doesn't quite cut it. But I...
Thanks Dick, but it belongs to someone else now as I no longer collect coins.
