How low does the serial number on a slab have to be before the holder becomes more collectible than the coin housed within it? I suppose it would...
Notice this evening that NGC now requires the grade of a coin when querying a certificate number for verification. No doubt to make...
I've had this coin in my collection since long before the hoard release of recent years. It possesses a much different look than any of the hoard...
I think part of that, --especially with early US gold-- has to do with the adoption by PCGS and NGC of sliding fee scales that makes cracking-out...
I doubt the coin would CAC at 35 let alone 40, and had it been submitted in 1990 it would have come back 25 or 30. Grading isn't all about wear...
In practice, most CAC coins with a gold sticker (what few there are) look at least a full grade better than the assigned grade. Most, though not...

Yes, the bimetals look real, everything else fake.
Any idea what this means? It's at the bottom of the page from the link you posted...,,, Numista Rarity index: 90
Krause had a promotional deal in the spring of 2014 when they offered all 5 century books (1600-2000) for all of $99. Not the DVD set either, but...

Most of the valuation information is accurate in a relative sense in the Standard Catalog of World Coins, though specific valuations are sometimes...
Very cool presentation. Tell me more about the slabs, -do you have to send your coins to this company to get them encapsulated, or is it some...
More Liechenstein, this one from Ron Gillio. A real knock-out(!)[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
NYINC, --from my buddy Bob Steinberg. Not the greatest picture, but you get the idea. For some reason I always thought this coin along with the...
Is this your photograph? Very bright and flashy and with proper white balance. Nice(!)
Super coin.
Super design all things considered, however I am not a fan of the pebble surface fields on the obverse, they distract too much from the portrait....
I've always wondered if this 1933 Fuad 10 Piastres had King Farouk's finger prints on it. He was notorious for that sort of thing, and Pittman...
I was at the 2015 in Orlando when it never got above 55 degrees the entire show. Would expect Ft. Lauderdale to not have that problem. However...
