Here are some new pickups for my modern Hungarian patterns set, a trio of 1983 F.A.O. commemorative patterns: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This first coin...
Yup. Same. Submission status has been either hanging or showing no submissions all day, and I have 7 submissions that were previously shown that I...
Really well done. Goes to show what great customer service one can expect from NGC! They take pride in having great coins in their holders done right.
Indeed. Very interesting. It does seem to cover the trade dollar.
Not every coin minted by the US mint is still legal tender. Trade dollars were demonetized. I would add that the mint did strike coins for other...
My NGC membership is at the Elite level and it saves me a lot of money every year compared to the basic tiers. More in savings than I pay for my...
Macho & Chlapovič is kind of an outlier. Their coins go for insane premiums in my experience, as that auction house only sells the very best...
Yeah I've found some obscure medals in image searches. That works pretty well for finding dealers.
Well enough to get by, especially regarding numismatic jargon, however, the dealer I work with also speaks English.
As always, mlov is a wellspring of information. I wholeheartedly agree with the above. I frequently use vatera.hu (the Hungarian eBay) for...

I wouldn't discount eBay. I've found a lot of rarities there, and the prices can be informative. I also use Vatera (Hungarian eBay), auction...
Same here. I felt priced out of the US coins market. Sure, I could put together a decent MS type set, but so what? It's been done, and it would...
Meh. People should just go buy a liberty eagle for that kind of money.
Nope. Not as a blanket statement. Gem+ grades only. The coins are plentiful, but most are in very poor condition. The catalogs don't account for...
Picked up a couple gold libs at Whitman today. Liberty Dollar 1853 NGC MS63 I liked this example because the obverse is semi-PL and the bust has...
OH YEAH. Forgot about that nonsense. Ok, maybe this is second or third dumbest.
An odd little pattern I picked up: Hungarian Forint (ND) Hamburg State Mint Aluminum-Bronze Pattern Reeded Edge 1.4g 12.77mm x 1.5mm [ATTACH]...
I'm going for the coveted gold bean COA.
This is a sign of the end times. Also, why don't they grade the cert too. :facepalm: What's the point of a certificate of authenticity slabbed...
Separate names with a comma.
