Yea that is very reasonable :) Edit: I realize we may be talking about two different things. I don't mean bidding it up and hoping to snag an...
Oh and I owe @Cascade an apology for re-hijacking his thread
Maybe. I sure would hope so, here at least. From my perspective it only changes the route, not the traffic :)
That won't change anything. There is pressure on governments to enforce anti-counterfeiting in regards to name brand goods and essentials. Coins...
This is extremely counter intuitive to do. Yes, they mean well. But those sellers will just relist the coins. And when they do, there is now a...
Well, the Chinese fantasy pieces are either a new design or a previously existing design made in a different material. So they are pretty...

I share your sentiment that fakes are worth buying when cheap enough. I don't think this one is very deceptive or hard to spot for an advanced...
They are common coins and not exactly mint condition. Sending them out for grading would be a big waste of time and money
First year of series. Obv/Rev are rotated 90 degrees. $395 shipped to US addresses (International buyers add actual cost of Priority mail...
Very useful site, use it all the time. Many large, clear pictures of varieties that can be frustrating to research elsewhere.
1800 euros is a very good price for that set, well done :)
