What happened is that I wanted to see some other threads than about silver rounds or state quarters from change so I inadvertently clicked this...
I'd have to agree with Doug here. Not about the fakes but about demographics. While everyone can say they know of 1 Black collector of pre-1834...
It looks like a copy of a Judaic 2nd Revolt tetradrachm. 2nd revolt was 132-135 AD, these coins were overstruck on 14g silver tetradrachms and...
Here's mine (Athenian democracy/confederation, classical period tetradrachm 449-413 BC). Actually I owned one many years ago & sold it. Then...
My experience from EBAY is quite negative. It may be useful for common date Bust halves in the AG to VF grades but for mint state specimens, it's...
I'd say AU-55, I've seen AU-50's that have little luster & look like exf's. AU-58 should be coin with just a bit of cabinet friction. Thus I'll...
While I'm not a dealer and I probably make many mistakes with grading, I'd avoid coins such as your 80-S Morgan dollar, because of the cheek mark....
Just recently I got my 1st EBAY coin! However I had to return it AND I gave a neg to a guy who had 4,000 positive reviews. It was a 1912...
Happened to me too last fall. Wife found out how much I spent for my Claudius II medallion which happens to be my avatar in this site. Dinner &...
If the mint sells them for $1 it might be worth getting a bag, picking out the nicest 50 and then selling the remaining 950 to a bank at face. If...
Usually this happens, with coins dealers in my experience. I'll give one example. In 1999 we bought a house & I decided to sell some of my US...
Hi Eduard, I seem to recall reading something about these in H. Flatt's 5 volume series on Peruvian coins. However, I'm in Panama at present &...
I think The Celator ran an article on coins of Scipio a few years back. I'll have to find the article to be sure but weren't they conjectured? I...
Maybe it was bitten by a Darlocke?
Of course that depends on one's viewpoint. From the Darlock's perspective it is the mangy biological life entities which are over running the...
Very nice it looks a lot better than a 61 from the photo but of course there is a limited amount one can tell from a photo. Also unlike USA...
This one is my favorite. Actually it would be neat to make a die of the obverse and overstrike some of our absymal state quarters with this...
coin bought in mall over Xmas vacation in Panama This guy wanted to befriend me in Linkedin back when I was in the US before Xmas vacation. He...
