Yeah, guys. It makes me so DARN curious when I see all the red edits, trying to figure out who said what. Doesn't take my old mind long to...

Here’s the beautiful Norwegian Specie Daler that arrived yesterday afternoon. Catalog value for this AU coin was about $3,300. I paid $600, but...
I would have had to look up Tombac if I hadn't started collecting Canadian nickels decades ago. Until today I didn't realize it had been used in...
I just took a chance on a counter-stamped Norwegian specie daler in terrific shape except for a "T" counter-stamp. I'll post photos as soon as it...
This spring I purchased a dozen Norwegian coins on Ebay here in the USA, intending to resell them at auction in Norway. Two of them, in the...

Anyone care to enlighten me about the acronym or abbreviation "GM?" Tried to find a definition online but couldn't. Steve
Yikes. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make that piece look worn, but worn in a crazy, unlikely way. Steve
Thanks, I was aware of that but not all the coins are going to GC. I also wanted to use my voucher. if I find more that need certification I’ll...
I was very pleased with how the auctions went. Some items went for more than I expected, some less. I was so pleased with GC's service that I am...
Thanks, @Bradley Trotter. You're right on the money. I appreciate it. Steve
Bought a lot of primarily 17th and 18th C. French coins, with a smattering of other countries (Norway, Russia, etc). With the help of Google and...
