Re: Goodacre recovery.
<< <i>Unknown as to the cause, her husband found her and she could not remember falling. >> Sounds like what happened to my grandma, but she remembered the fall. She was widowed and lived next door to a widower. They had a prearranged signal to each other. At about 10 AM each morning, they would each open a set of drapes… -

Re: Have the big 2 TPGs "sold out" ?
<< <i>Quite a few people have pooh-poohed complaints against the "First Strike" designation by arguing that it doesn't bring any premium in the marketplace. That argument fails to account for the possibility that the designation results in a higher volume of sales. Thanks to research by Notwilight, we also see that the… -

Re: What one feasible change/improvement would you like to see the major grading companies make?
Stop guessing when it comes to strike type. The mint used the same dies for some coins when striking both proof and business strikes. In well circulated condition there is often no definitive way to tell which is which. If they are going to call a coin that falls into this category PR12, either post an article/info page… -
Die Variety vrs Die Marriage
Many collectors think theses two terms are interchangeable. I even fall into the trap every now and then when speaking about them. Die Variety was used often in the past, including by Overton in the title of his book, when referring to a marriage. No wonder we were all so confused! So, a die VARIETY will refer to a die… -
The September death of generic gold was premature
One shouldn't get their gold coin advice from dealers who don't follow the spot gold market in context with currencies, bonds, stocks in general, and world events. Gold does not move in a vacuum....and neither do generic gold coins. "Unrealistic" premiums today can be bargain premiums a week to a month later. There is real… -
Re: The coin below and the1964 half dollar worth anything other than face value? Both coins have silver!
Yes actually I did, but I get no where because there is a whole lot of false information out! And to be honest I was seriously debating on coming in here, and ask, because the mayor part of Coin Collectors in here are jerks! They seem to have forgotten that they weren't born with that knowledge for coins! And that they too… -
Re: Is there a Washington quarter struck with the obverse die used for Proofs?
I think they probably did, but 20 of each is hardly any to find a one-die variety - you may have to look at hundreds of each, at least. Not every proof obverse will have distinctive die markers that you can use - in fact, it may be a minority that do. Relative to the reverse, the obverse has a lot more space taken up by… -
Re: Canada 1967 double-struck info sought
No, the 47 ML is a different situation. 1947 was the year India gained its independence from Britain. So for all future Coinage, the reference to " Et Ind Imp" ( Emperor of India, had to be removed, as the British King no longer held the title. In early 1948 there was strong demand for currency but the dies with the…
