The thing is, they don't always respect the experts that are recognized as such having a valid opinion either. I have found this with later...
Yes, the TPGs show some vagary frequently and I am not convinced that they are "blind" to the submitter. Some of their grading and designation...
LOL. Well, maybe that is what I need after a workweek. Anyway, please, post discussions or pictures of British Honduras.....
Uggh, still not showing well, and now turned 90 degrees. Original die filing marks seen at jaw and forward and upward of ear. Lustre is stunning...
Pictures don't do this 1889 coin justice and will try to post some more later. This coin is original red which doesn't show in the picture and has...
Nope. From previous it is usually because it is not in a "standard" catalogue such as Krause. Hell, its a discovery pattern - where would it be then?
Funny thing is that I continuously find myself in contest with the late (?) Richard Stuart's collection - a fruitless task as he had one of the...
Bit of a surface restoration later (in hand there really is NO schmutz): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Of course I always like completing series as well and this was the last 100 Balboa Franklin Mint coin - precisely because I did NOT like the...

Hi There Ms. DonnaMarie, You may email me directly if you so choose. email: edog131@aol.com All the Best, Eric
Well we are always glad to help. Keep me in the loop, and good luck to you in any case.
Wow, that may have been a 100 dollar curiosity move. Collectors are fanatics for original packaging but the coin I would guess would bring at...
Well, there is much not to like as there were some shenanigans in the striking of many Panamanian coins including the OMS silver and golds of 1953...
LOL, that is probably so. I just remember them being not too friendly. Not however compared to Gillio's in SB! LOL
Good on you, that is some BS there. You are well clear of them.
No argument here on that. However the surfaces can most certainly be improved with above methods or possibly similar.
Nice coins although did get off track there from the OP just a bit. Returning to that - as a kid about early 1970s I used to do yard work and...
