It's a shame I am stuck in jail and part of the punishment is: "cannot start new threads". I believe it is possible that his account has been hijacked. Hopefully the madness is resolved come Monday. THKS!
Another ridiculous comment. Maybe they will lengthen your jail sentence.
What a tragedy that people are posting amazing coins and pushing the parking lot finds, lost package and CAC threads to the bottom. /s
@lordmarcovan - I love your eye for quality. I find your collecting inspiring for a number of reasons and I’ve learned a considerable amount from your posts over the years. Cheers!

Lordmarcovan was previously big time in the different forum in the “searching for coins” and it was fun to hear his stories about searching in the ground for old coins. I consider Lordmarcovan a wonderful asset to this website. I once even visited lordmarcovan and stayed overnight at his place in GA. A class act.
That's great but I think the point was maybe can we have 1 or 2 threads, not the entire front page of the forum look at my "*". Its commin cents. THKS!
Re: Mexico- 1866 Pi - Peso
That's a real crusty luster piece. Patina too thick to try any dunk (perhaps if someone had done so 50 years ago...). Can't at all quibble with the technical grade. Obverse looks pretty OK... reverse is, um 🤷♂️
1866Pi definitely tougher than 1866Mo... and yes, 1867Mo is also.
Then there's the 1866Go... anytime you see one at any decent price, buy it.
Maybe someone (unknowledgeable buyer?) will buy it solely due to its grade?
Obviously the look is going to dissuade some ppl, but I think for a popular series like Maximilian, the grade alone/registry value will definitely find it a buyer. Perhaps a piece better suited to a fixed price inventory to ensure finding that right collector.
The point about eye appeal is of course true in general, and interesting link to another Maximilian piece in the form of that pattern. That happens to be a REALLY egregious case - piece clearly shows rub and looks toned back over a clean. 61 looks to be a copout grade by NGC. "Well, it's a pattern, so it never circulated... so it's MS, but it's fugly. Um, 61 it is!"

I’m in the ‘Keep On Posting As Much As You’d Like!’ camp. All coins, great pics. Most posts have generated many comments/likes/pics.
Plus LordM is a legend and has earned the right to go ballistic once in a blue moon.
Carry on LordM, carry on. 🤘🏻😎

Let's also not forget that the LordM also creates numismatic material in the form of his numerous elongated coin issues.
I have a special place in my heart for those who create numismatic items that are collected by other people.
