Here's a real one, look for yourself - http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Image:Mexico_1733_8_reales_Ponterio_135-0466.jpg
What they are trying to accomplish is that they don't want anybody to speak the truth when that truth reflects negatively on PCGS. In other words,...
Regarding a point that is continuously posted - that PCGS coins sell for more than NGC coins. I have been hearing that comment since before coin...
In my opinion, yes. What Conder is talking about also results in residue left in the recesses. But the coin doesn't really look polished to me,...
I have my doubts about it being genuine. For one thing the 1733 is one of toughest dates to get from the Mexico mint since most of them were all...
Hmmm, maybe so Conder, but not a one of them has anything about it on their web sites. And what about guys like John Maben, Rick Montgomery, Ken...

Air-Tites are far and away better than 2x2's.

Threads like this never fail to remind me why I never had any interest in varieties except for those that were plainly visible to the naked eye of...
If it's a fake they did a good job, and since you are sending it express you apparently think it's genuine. I can see what looks like some clash...
About the best I know of is this one - http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-U-S-Gold-Coins-Commemorative/dp/0794817653 As for the ANA Library, just...
Proofs were always intended to be cameo. But it was not until 1973 that the mint stopped using the Proof dies once the cameo effect was no longer...
