The 1921s look suspicious enough for me to stay away from the whole lot unless I could inspect in person. Both of the 21s are fakes. I think the...
Hard to tell which coins you have displayed here, but especially Chinese Cash Coins were designed with a hole to be stored on a string like you show.
Check out this website and scroll down to the section on die breaks: https://www.error-ref.com/part_iv__die_errors/ Basically, a cud is just a...
For me, NGC is by far my preferred TPG. This is largely due to the sort of things I have collected. I really got serious with Franklin Halves, and...
I believe the primary function of holes in coins is to more easily attach them to a hat and look super cool.
Oh, you know how to get my goat, don't you ;) Nice coin, even if I philosophically disagree. Besides the planchet roughness disagreement, the...
Lol, in 1990 I wasn't even old enough to earn allowance. I was happy with a cookie while I watched Wheel of Fortune. Vanna White taught me to...
The listing and surrounding details indicate scam. Avoid, of course. I honestly don't see anything wrong with the picture, though... it looks...

Larry, knowing your passion for your coins... and some of the very interesting pieces you have, this seems to be a difficult but logical decision....
I watch a lot of Youtube videos. One of my favorite channels is Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals. He owns a gold mine on the west coast,...

Yes, I read what you wrote. I don't believe it is wear - I believe it is a weak strike. 1920's era San Fran coins are notoriously poorly struck....
Bro, what are you smoking? As I went to check Photograde to see how wrong you are, I'm going to revise my answer up to AU-50....
I agree with the EF-40 crowd. As for your pictures - the coin is well focused and the picture is crisp. I would, however, prefer a plain...
ANACS MS-64PL. The obverse wasn't strong enough to cross to NGC, but the reverse is full on deep cameo. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This should probably be in the "For Sale" section.
It most likely comes down to the fact that the coin does not have a number grade - there is no 8 or 10 assigned to it. Details grades also do not...
I'd love to own one of these someday. Not high on my list, but they are cool.
I saw one of these in a magazine many years ago, and I've wanted it ever since.
