Where do you see that? The link says it sold for $5596. In my opinion $1250 is absolutely ridiculous. If the link is correct, $5596 is...

I've always had excellent dealings with them. Given that I collect French Colonial Morocco, they have often been a source for interesting...
OK... what I'm hearing is St. Gaudens, 63-65, slabbed, problem free, and most likely NGC (but open to PCGS). St. Gaudens started in 1907, so...
Yes, the label looks weird, but this is in fact an NGC coin. The "Nevada Silver Collection" was an early special label. You might have heard of...
I don't think there's really any standard location or orientation for a sticker. It's just some dude putting a sticker on. Its going to...
I view melt-value as an absolute bottom. The coin weighs a certain amount, and, per the amount of metal, it's worth this much. It doesn't matter...
"smoothed surfaces" are often applied to coins with deep corrosion. Coins with environmental damage or something like that. The remnant pits you...
"smoothing" is probably more common on ancient coins, but this article has a good description:...
Well, it really depends on what you want. Answer some questions, and we can try to steer you: - Do you like the Liberty design better, or do you...

Many ancient's collectors don't like slabs. They like to hold their coins, or have the option to feel them. I think some of them distrust the...
I love the Owl. Not gonna lie, that's one of my dream coins that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet. My middle name is Alexander, so I've got...
Thanks! The story of how I acquired it is in this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fun-newp-1810-switzerland-5-batzen.353297/#post-3994414
For most of my coins, I have no problem sharing what I paid - because many of my coins I bought at auction. All you have to do is search for the...
My most expensive foreign coin is this Swiss 5 Batzen, NGC MS-66DPL (W/ Wings), $1400: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
