I picked up this straight graded 1903 peso in the same auction, $126.50 all in. It seems like a decent price considering that the full...
This post piqued my curiosity, so I found a page on Numista showing the coins Turkmenistan has issued over the years. The ones from the...
I’m thinking 67.
63 and $500. The luster really comes through the toning. It seems the marks may normally keep it below 63 but I’m guessing it got a bump for eye...
This is my most recent type coin purchase. It’s the lowest grade of my three Barbers but the slightly better date and the toning appealed to me....

I unfortunately don’t own any shipwreck coins. I used to have an El Cazador 8 reales with really nice details, but I sold it and used the...
I picked up an intriguing Republican coin on a whim and found this thread while searching for more information on what I just purchased. The...
I like the Kazakhstan pieces. Were those actually minted in Kazakhstan or do they source them from somewhere else?
Both of these are a bit hard to find with a straight grade. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
At least for me BU would imply a white or otherwise lustrous coin (if silver) or full red coin (if copper). However, the term’s usage has...
I looked through some completed sales and there’s a pretty wide range of strike quality for this issue. Both of yours are on the better end....
@ddddd is the winner, with honorary mention to @johnmilton! Everyone else’s estimates were two or more grades low. I think @johnmilton’s...
