1944 2 FR, Belgique shattered die?
I just wonder, would this fall under the “shattered die” category for world coins, in cuds on coins? There are 3 different cracks starting from the rim moving inward. If not what do you feel like it is? Unusual die cracks? I think this is so cool!! I want to send this to cuds if i can figure out how to lol Not sure why the… -
Re: Has anyone ever heard of this coin or token?
No, no photos. I have some issues with what I have read so far. The first “evil leader” was the Roman emperor, Caligula. Fair enough. Caligula was insane and cruel, deserved to be assassinated because in Rome, there was usually no other way to change leadership. The trouble is the author made the claim that was the… -
Re: What year were these (1770) Macniven & Camerons Pen Tokens made?
Most "false guinea" tokens date from the lifetime of George III (pre-1820), but these are much later in make. By 1850, card-counter makers were all making Cumberland Jacks, rather than false guineas.

Re: Satisfied e-bayer threatens to file complaint.Update;settlement reached.
<< <i>If you say that a coin has a shot at MS70 and it doesn't get it, are you obligated to give a refund? NO! >> I don't see how this is relevant because this is not the case being discussed. A more similar example would be if you said a coin had a shot at a PCGS MS70 and it's a coin that PCGS flat out doesn't grade. <<… -
Re: ANA Day 3
DM Enjoying your daily reports and glad show is going well for you. ANA always falls at a difficult time for me and I had to miss this year. That matte proof Lincoln is a beauty, particularly for the grade. Look forward to catching up at a future show. -
Interesting case where Ebay got sued b/c someone left negative feedback on a buyer
Although this is not really numismatic related, I found this case interesting (a lot of people post threads about Ebay, so hopefully no one minds this post). The case is from this year, and basically a buyer sued Ebay for defamation becauase a seller posted negative comments about him on a particular transaction (I guess… -
Re: Guess the Altered Surfaces
<< <i>I have had coins come back with altered surfaces, I disagreed and resubmitted, next time it came back it was graded. What did i learn? >> That detecting altered surfaces is inexact.
