One surefire way to stump me would be to post some Middle Eastern coin with little in the way of pictorial elements to the design, and nothing but...
I'm sure you're gonna stump me one of these times... ;) Meanwhile, let's see how everybody else does with that last one...
Yep, I think I’ve got it, unless your coin is a smaller denomination with a similar design. [SPOILER] Don’t the rest of you peek at my guess...
Ooh! You had me stumped for about 5-10 seconds, but I think I’ve got it. Gotta go to Numista to confirm I’m right. BRB- I’ll post my guess in...
Oh, really? Are they raised, then? Interesting!
Well, even though the 1984 prices are 40 years out of date, the “Instant Identifier” section and other resources in that catalog are timeless and...
And after all is said and done, I still have a PCGS MS65 Walker half for my type coin. Never mind that it’s a $165 coin instead of a $1,500 one....
Aside from the scratches, it's a handsome piece, and has slightly higher grade (details) than my past best of the type, which as I recall was VF25...
Those look like surface scratches and not adjustment marks to me, but I have only limited experience with that. Those and the spots turn me off a...
Wow, a nice Republican! Your finds never cease to amaze me! PS- do you suppose that's an ancient test cut on the reverse?
Randy, my friend, I remain as ever in your debt, so you know I actually would do that for you. ;)
No, no, nothing like that. Their pics (which I have used above, at least for now) just weren't as high-resolution as I'd like, and don't quite do...
I do think this 1944 has slightly nicer luster than the 1938-D I traded in. They're pretty close. [IMG] [IMG]
Recently I decided to get back into the US type set game, at least on the most basic level. For the past decade or so, my US coin holdings have...
It has been only six weeks since I posted my last update thread for this collection, but I've added some new stuff since then, and with this...
Somebody did a nice job on it, back in the day. Typewritten and with neat handwriting. State of the art for its day. Must have been a serious...
I don't think the pics are ideal. My next long project is gonna be to shoot short videos of all my lustrous (or colorfully-toned) pieces so I can...
Very close, but I think I can read the bottom of the word "ONE" in the challenge coin, so it's likely a 1-stiver instead of a a 2-stivers piece....
I quite like like that '18-S, but you're right- I think my '29-S has just the tiniest better strike. Of course their '18-S in MS65 FH is worth a...
United States: 1925 silver Peace dollar NGC MS66. Cert. #8796679-008. Numista-5580, Krause-Mishler-150. Mintage: 10,198,000. Ex-Northeast...
