@Islander80-83, in 1969 I was making my way to Norway to study, a circuitous route through Europe, and stopped at Bad Aibling to try to see my...
@kanga, I hope you wrote the number down wrong. Steve
I'm heading to Norway in less than two weeks. My first purchase for 2020 is waiting for me with a friend, won at an auction yesterday. Since I...
I love to see you "ancient folks" in action. I never cease to be impressed. Steve
Just a heads up, though. Your final cost for slabbing that quarter is going to be more like $50, plus or minus. Steve
I am one of the least experienced re ancients on CT, but something looks off to me about this coin...I think it's the smooth fields. So, I'm...
$10 to the charity of your choice, @Tim59, when the NGC slab is posted here. Steve
OK, being a brave old guy today by going first: AU 50. Jack: is this one of the counterfeits you have been specializing in? Steve
Don't give up. For literally sixty years I only looked at dates and mint marks (and condition, of course). It really wasn't until I joined CT...
I must be missing something here. Is @goldcollector being accused of cheating someone? If so, he doesn't seem to be defending himself. Would...

Right on @panzerman. I have a friend right now near Oslo, Norway, obtaining some coins for me. He emphasize again and again how strict the...
I'm with you, Ed, except I have a house. But before our August auction we went through every drawer, closet and shelf, looking for the clutter...
Looks like a metal detector find; was it? Let's call in @paddyman98 (I think he MDs around NYC) to see what he thinks. Steve
I agree on the grade. Close enough. Great photos, by the way! Isn't it cool how finding something like this can make the hearts of adults like...
Yes, for a lot of collectibles this is true. I discovered it first in the "Collector's Plate" frenzy in the late 70s and early 80s. I got...
$15.80 or so per ounce seems low. I'd follow the suggestions above, e.g., selling on CT, perhaps in smaller bundles. Steve
PM me your mailing address, and I'll get it off to you. You're the first one to respond. Steve
You're correct about those NGC slabs. I was referring to the ICG slab. Steve
