64 from me. Classic commems are graded about 80% on luster, because few of them have any significant marks, and most are well struck. I'm not...
Thank you! It's one of the jewels of my collection now. BTW, those Libertad onzas can tone up really nicely, just like ASEs. It might be fun...
If they believed he was likely to steal from them and they invested anyway, too bad. If they didn't do due diligence, too bad. If they did and...

Risk is risk. If they didn't do their due diligence on this guy, that's their fault. And, if they did and invested anyway, that's on them, too....
Those are not key dates in any sense of the word. Leaving aside that there are any number of non-financial reasons to get coins certified,...
I wouldn't shed any tears for those investors. At $12.7M contributed by 161 people, that's an average of about $79K per investor. Anyone who can...

Thanks. :) 65FH actually.

Yep, it's pretty much random. I have an ASE that ended up with some pretty high end toning because the guy who sold it to the dealer I bought it...
That Carr piece is a great choice for a type album. One of these days, if he keeps up his pace, you'll be able to fill an entire 7070 with Carr...
Believe it or not, this one isn't even close to the prettiest SLQ toner I've ever seen. If you like this one, there was one on eBay maybe 18...
You rang?[ATTACH]
I don't like to think of it so much in terms of "better value," but I do love the coin I ended up with. If anything, I would like to own both...
Yeah, I did! In fact, I found two of them, but the first one slipped through my fingers because I waited too long. I thought I needed to take...
I've got a few pre-revolutionary Chinese coins, and none are certified. It's just that they're all either low value cash, or I bought them from...
Me likey lots. I grade this one MS-WANT. :)
Ouch. I hate fake coins and have no respect for those who make them, but I would be lying if I said the fact that 90% of the Chinese coins...
