I also tend to measure FDC based on theoretical examples, potentially meaning that the "finest known" example of an issue is still not FDC,...
I'm glad it went to a good home :-) As pointed out in one of your other posts, CNG's images significantly desaturate and change the color...
Thanks :-) Having read the Illiad and Odyssey many times, I'm very glad to have this coin. It is incredible to think that if Homer was a living...
As long as you aren't currently eating a cheeseburger with your other hand, you can touch your coins. Just keep your hands relatively clean and...
Congratulations! I agree about keeping it in a slab: cracking out thin coins is a risk. I haven't ever damaged one but these days for more...
Congratulations for finding such a nice example of an iconic type! It fits impeccably well alongside the rest of your collection.

I'd wait for #1's style with the wing detail of #2. There's no need to hurry - it's a common enough type. #2's head will distract you enough to...
Not even remotely an investor and not named Morris but I won't say anything further as it was told to me in confidence.
The ones I've consigned to Triton have been off of my website for a while so I'm guessing @PeteB will have not seen those, but yes, I've been...
Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow!
I disagree, this would be a very dangerous choice to consider if looking to "invest" in coins. All it takes is a couple more examples of the same...
I wouldn't sell all of my coins for a single coin but I possibly would sell a chunk of my collection for the right coin if I needed to do so....
A wonderful group!! It's hard to pick a favorite - I'd probably have to go with your Foot of God but your Pius harbor scene is high up in the...
Here's my first and my second latest (I have a new purchase which I'm waiting to post). I paid a strong price for the recent purchase but I...
