Here's one of mine. A recent acquisition as it turns out. From the Chicago Coin Expo last week....,, Alexander I of Yugoslavia was the last of...
The reverse for whatever it's worth...,, [ATTACH]
What do the holders before that look like? I was thinking this was one of the very old ones, -no line below the label and thicker slab than newer...
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...

Pop 1/0 finer at PCGS with none seen at NGC at this level or higher. In other words, the finest graded example on the planet. First year of...
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...
