Zohar sent me 3 ancientsto photograph (along with some wonderful Talers). They were fun! -Brandon [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Zohar sent me another round of beautiful coins to photograph. I also tried my hand at a bit of "ancient" coin work, so check out that thread also...
I think this one counts. NGC MS66RB [IMG] [IMG]
I agree with your assessment. But, maybe you're example isn't a very good one. While it has a mintage of 100, the exact same...
I don't use the term rare unless there are 100 or fewer coins/tokens/etc. extant. I think this stems from my collecting of Conder tokens and...
At a mintage of nearly 2 million, it is still not "rara" regardless of if it is the lowest mintage of the small series or not. Just a pet peeve...
Actually....Quadriga is the word in Italian for a quadriga. "Briosa" means lively or spirited, and it differentiates this design of the quadriga...
Fred13 -- beautiful example. Any idea why it's labeled as "rara" though? These aren't rare.
I always love when a thread gets to the point of Doug playing the victim. That's when I stop reading...so to the OP, if you have any further...
I added 29 horse coins to my main collection in 2014, bringing the total up to 233 certified coins. A few other things here and there, and all in...
Fourth Party "Graders" don't grade the coin at all. They either agree with the assigned grade by the TPG or they don't. Thus, I personally don't...
TPGs are companies who authenticate, grade, and slab coins. QA and CAC don't do those things -- they just put a sticker on an already graded...
They are not a TPG. They don't grade or encapsulate coins -- they just affix stickers based on whatever undocumented willy-nilly personal...
As I mentioned before, I know this coin (and the whole series of the 20,50, and 100 Franc) very well. I have looked at and owned many over the...
No worries. It said in that thread they thought sometime in 1997...I'm surprised it's that recent that they started doing the FBL thing.
I'll be sure to do any business I have with NGC on Thursday, before the circus starts on Friday. Not all publicity is good publicity. :yuck:
To answer your question, FBL was not used on rattlers. Check out this link. Google is a wonderful thing.
For a 1942 Philly WLH, that coin's nothing to write home about. I would personally be VERY upset if I purchased this coin in a PCGS MS65 holder...
You don't get it. I give up. Cheers.
I love how being honest makes one a negative Nancy. :D
