Apparently, they don't teach cursive any more. So to a younger person, this would in fact be illegible.
I just stumbled across this video. It has one of the most detailed views of the modern minting process. A thorough look at the industrial...
No, I'm not speaking negative of them at all! I'm merely saying that's more money than I want to regularly put in right now.
I think bars generally don't come in very small sizes.... 10 ounce seems to be a standard size? I don't want to put that much money in right now....
I'm looking to buy bullion silver. What do you stack and why? Eagles? Maples? Morgans? Junk 90%? Art rounds? Something else? What do you stack...
I've never seen it offered as a PDF. The dealer David Kahn was selling these (he works a lot with Dick Graham). He might have more info, or be...
Oh, no, it isn't.
I don't have a pic of the slab. You have to just trust me.
End result... NGC called it AU-58. Several of you got it, so congrats!

Nah, you didn't insult me. I've got thicker skin than that. I've been on forums for over 20 years. What I will say is, NGC slabs in-particular...
I don't buy Details coins unless it is super extremely rare and there is no other way I'll ever own the coin, and I need it for a set. Guess again.
I bought myself a present. Its nice. Guess the grade and the GR number! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It depends, honestly. Spectacular, widely doubled coins visible with the naked eye... yes. Anything you need a lens to see... no.
I'd love to attend it... but I avoid NYC like the plague.
That was my first instinct as well. You would have to really polish a coin with some skill to get that satin texture over the whole coin. For...
Thank you! I really hope you find it useful. If you have any questions, please ask! The terminology can get a bit confusing here. We usually...
Great guesses everybody. Overton was O-104, R3. Super easy if you spotted the die gouge in the headband obverse, and the gouge at the branch...
