This is sort of similar (in reverse) to the issue of proof coins. Whereas a proof is a proof is a proof, no matter how worn or damnaged, and UNC...
Well, I admit to recenlty starting a small collection of these, and I buy them, usualy in bulk, when I see a bunch at the right price (cheap). I...
Cast fake from Asia. See thread about the "1906 Silver Eagle".
The lumps are definitley raised. I have never seen that sort of die deterioration, though. Not a die chip or crack, and if a piece broke off it...
Don't bother doing any serious work on this. It is a cast (non-silver) fake from China. There are many of them on eBay. The design is...
?? You can do whatever you want to with a coin, current or otherwise. There may be some restrictions, such as you can't put your political...
I like it. A nice circulated silver coin with my favorite king (on coins, anyway). A nice design, in a nice metal, in nice circulated condition.
This is true enough, but I think it is the wrong analogy. It should be a comparison between someone who buys a few million $$ worth of Buffalos...
Nice idea, but no way it will happen. The individual countries get one side to mess with, but even that is something some eurocrats in Brussels...
I agree. Practice makes perfect. Have it x-rayed and see if there is any hole inside. Could be fun for the educational experience.
I think that just about every response has been jabbing your question. NO….I do not think these “varieties” will be worth what the original 3...
I have almost NO experience with UK coins, but I wonder if this is not a Maundy coin, I have seen some that looked like this, in silver....
Yeah, but in typical eBay fashion, they have messed up. German law only forbids NEW Nazi stuff. Old, historical mementos are perfectly OK and on...
I haven't bothered to read every word of this thread, but some of the opinions about ebay are a bit off base, at least in regard to reality....
I would have thought that you had a good example of a hollowed out edge for added mintmark. But, it seems the reeding is impressed into that...
Now I've seen everything. This "variety" hype is getting way out of control (as if it ever were under control). "Fancy A"!?!??!?! I...
You underestimate the power of eBay combined with inexperienced collectors.
My first reaction in "no". But they might be..... At some point in the past (not sure if it was 50 years or 100 years) the BEP stopped allowing...
Sounds to me like some of that bullion gold is what the US Mint issued before they made the gold bullion coins they make now. They were issued in...
I would normally say delete the posts, since all of the ones I have seen are annoying and overly dramatic, and some are quite insulting. But, I...
Separate names with a comma.
