The dark side beckons

I finally thanks to the prodding of family and several dealers have gone to the dark side. Today at the ANA show in Baltimore i went to one of my favorite dealer (aspen park coins) and bought my first true world coin, a 1754 ms64 GB farthing graded by PCGS. THe grade is actually much higher because of its great creamy brown fields and no detracting marks that i could see but for world coins it seems not to matter as much. As soon as i can i will take a picture and put it up here. BTW i spent 500 on it and would appreciate any insight on whether i should return it while i still can or if i got a good deal.

Sorry for the wall-o-text

Glad to be back at posting here its been a few years i think.

Thanks for reading

I will take a picture tomorrow so that i can use natural sunlight.


In a side note I have been tinkering with creating some sort of device to make my pictures turn out better with a clear bowl and if anyone has any hints please send me a PM.

 

if you like the coin keep it otherwise return it. never keep a coin you are not comfortable with

 

Please see: this is NOT the dark side

 

What is it you call the Dark Side? Is it World Coins or is it Slabbed Coins?

 

here we go again. Hobo is trying to stir the pot.

 

The way I've always heard it interpreted was "World Coinage..."

 

If you aren't doing your job I have to do it for you.

Read carefully, my friend.

 

the minor degradation in the original sentence is due to quality degradation as sound travels

Oh, it sure is. Y'know, there is the dark side (the entire world, except one country), and there is the sad rest.

well here the coin is http://www.aprci.com/CoinDetailsAll...osition=FIL:SortNo+=+241ORD:ABS:14KEY:281PAR:

im a little ticked that on the website the coin is cheaper then what i bought it for but i still love the coin

 

If you're happy with it then keep the coin. It's a beauty and in great condition. Personally, I would have held off on pulling the trigger -- simply because I prefer silver...

Take Care
