You are right, it could just be the double struck nature of the face, coupled with the not so great style of the nose, and the highlighting on it...
At first glance it looks good, the only thing that looks unusual a little is the nose. You can see the face was double struck, that is not it, its...
While I believe the speculation quote is true, it comes off badly since most people have a narrow definition of speculation. Any type of purchase...
I agree with others here. Argentina and all of South America have some interesting and beautiful coins. I would say Mexico is in that league as...
I would say complete what you started. You never know if a coin in a series will be a winner, so if you are betting that one or more of these...
Great point. I have always said this, I had a great time buying "junk' silver bags assembled in 1980. In the future, if silver goes back down,...

Lol. I have one poor coin, struck, overstruck, quartered, struck again doubled. Its a complete mishmash of junk. I am really surprised that piece...

At least this prediction is made by someone who has a little more training than many internet predictions, or predictions by PM firms who have a...
Lol, he was pointing out how the Byzantine had an overstrike and some strike doubling. I was dead serious he would have a much more expensive coin...
