What are you talking about? What do I "rub in your face" here? You don't need "cred" here to disagree with me or anyone else here. I thought the...
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/have-you-ever-cracked-a-coin-out-of-a-slab.205297/#post-1428414 Interesting thread. OP may enjoy it, thanks.
Nice half. Back in the day just a XF, but I would wager XF45 today. Well struck, which is good. The ribbon many times was weakly struck.
Not of mine sorry. I suck at photographs. They are common, though. Ebay has quite a few for sale right now I see. I look for original, lustrous...
While they are different, I have never been a fan of "mint shenanigans" coins. By this, I mean non-authorized off metals, stamping on squares of...
Good time to get into that area IMHO. Prices have been weak for quite some time. My bad habit is Oregon Trail halves. I don't collect US anymore,...
I really do think this is the root cause of the coin shortage in the US. Most banks are not welcoming people to come in to deposit coins. Maybe...
The only time I have seen it Corona virus was the author playing with words. Not trying to win sir, just saying.
A Corona virus? If I were a drinker that would sound cool to me. ;) Sorry, couldn't resist. I think you mean coronavirus, one word no caps. :)
I have a few. One I remember was a fuzzy pic, (I know, many are setups), that said 1812 Bible and Coin. Listed for $50 and no bids. I squinted...
I took this suggestion as one with an implied, HUGE caveat, "If the coin is already seriously damaged and it simply does not matter what kind of...
OP, acetone is always a go to, (at least it will never hurt silver). Practice on these, and rinse with distilled water after. May not do anything,...
I take that as a compliment. :)
I agree John VIII is a cool coin. His brother was left to do what he could. Lots of cool history. Given how Constantine XI is almost...
Fair enough. I respect your opinion sir. I just thought your post characterized mine as amateurish. I would hope my posts in nearly every area...
These are usually very well struck. As such, I would say XF40-45. If the same coin was another series, I could see AU, but since these are SO well...
Your opinions sir. I also know early US fairly well, owning all of the types save for the small eagle halves and quarters, (not the gold though)....
BIG difference between a 1700's US coin and a BU 1700's US coin. I own quite a few dated in the 18th century, but none the grade of that coin....
I am not one to bring up your previous dealings here, but if truly are trying to put together a monster box of APE, one would think you could...
People could accuse me of suggesting buying PM. I have stated repeatedly that PM is a viable contra asset, and also the fact that DCA is a good...
