I was hoping you were talking about a mated pair of split planchets, each one having one side of the coin completely intact. I've only ever seen...
You're quite welcome for the compliment on your coin. And, yes, that is an excellent painting. Honorius gets a little bit of a bad rap, but you...
Just put the thing inside a gigantic bell jar and pump most of the air out. Voilà! No more deafening noise. :P Bah, that just means you need a...
FYI to everyone, there's a good resource online at http://numismatics.org/pella/ for identifying Alexander coinage. I believe it has every Price...
I beg to differ. It is most certainly possible to stop toning entirely. The issue is that nobody is really going to go to the trouble to do it...
You've misunderstood what I'm saying, I think. CAC literally just pretends the + is not there. They see a BM67, and decide if it's a high end...
Why do you doubt that? CAC does not consider + in their grades, so this would be an ordinary BM67 to them.
If I were buying a 1.5 million dollar dime, I'd have already seen pictures of it before it went in the NGC holder. ;)
Rim ding? I must be blind, because I don't see it.
Lol @ price guide. How would you even calculate a price guide value for a coin like this? Even the recent 9/20 sale is off from the price guide...
I'm not convinced that's what it is. Nickel is hard. Really hard. Even being 75% copper, a US nickel alloy is going to be harder than any other...
It sounds like you might need a book to get you going on cash coins, should you have literally any interest in the Imperial period of China. I...
There's a real skill to interpreting TrueViews, I've found. While there's a certain sense in which any photograph of a coin is a true...
Sounds good! I can definitely deal with 20 coins in, say, no more than a day or 2. Even if it were just the 2 of us, if we stuck with it, we...
Fair enough. I'd say a star would be practically a given, provided it straight grades. Like I said, I think 64 is realistic, so, if you'd be...
If you were talking about coins that are expensive, but not great rarities with impressive pedigrees like this one, I would agree with you....
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Let's do the work in a separate "working post," and then merge the hyperlinked coins into the master list as...
You did good, then. I probably would have gone for it at that type of price, although I wouldn't have had any shame about using the details label...
Wow, this is a solid grouping of coins for around $20 apiece! I think, so far, @Valentinian's contribution is my favorite. Sadly, I don't think...
Oh, yeah, I forgot there are a few other Washington quarters already in this thread. :P @ddddd: I really love and appreciate your work in keeping...
