At one time I had the complete 6 coin set. The 1914 gold $5 in AU58 with all the others in MS60 thru MS62. Sold off all except the 1912 gold $10...
Very interesting. Did you read the disclaimer? Pretty much says there is no standard used when grading the coins. Which suggests they might all...
There was a long story in CoinAGE magazine this month about the relative value of coins versus artwork. The article focused on the St. Guadens...
In the absence of a date or denomination, not sure I would even call it a coin, but rather a medal. The damage to the denticles at 12:00 obverse...
I see what you're saying then. Problem is, especially with slabbed coins, most of that provenance information is lost or destroyed. Case in...
I think I would want the coin authenticated if it were mine. Especially if the cost were more than $150 which from your description it probably is.
Good question. I saw earlier today that Charlie Sheen has paid-off the $100,000.00 debt which Lindsay Lohan had with the IRS. They would make a...
This one looks to be graded accurately, how about that.
But the previous collector doesn't get to assign the grade, the TPG does. In any case, agree with the general observation that pedigreed coins in...
That was great. Reminded me of the SNL skit back in the 1970s where they spoofed a MA Bell television ad (or something like that) and used the...
Not even if it belonged to Elvis or Jackie O? Therein lies the real dichotomy to it all. If the coin is worthless and belonged to someone famous...
So would a Clapp pedigree be more sexy?
YES!!!!!!!!! How very true, and especially true of Eliasberg Sr's collection of world coins, almost all of them overgraded and very few really...
You mean you don't know who Madame Bagne was? Mistress to the legendary collector...,, oh never mind..
I do believe you meant to say it WAS labeled. But in any case, do a Google search on Eliasberg Jr and see what you get. Almost nothing. The...
Actually, it may NEVER come up for auction again if the guy who bought it learns it isn't the Eliasberg he thought it was, and cracks it out to...
18.5% is a meaningful amount of money. And the FH is meaningless in AU55.
Sorry, have to disagree with you. Some people become so famous within their own realm that whether or not the name includes Jr. does not make any...
Ah-Ha! Then you would say a zero premium for the illustrious pedigree?
His son?? That sounds like kind of a scam to me, his son presumably could go out and buy anything, slab it, then resell it as one of his dad's...
