Re: POP reports...the trend is perplexing??
<< <i>The grading for C and D mintmarked gold coins has been inconsistent for a long time. While I generally agree with this, I think grading No Motto southern gold is inherently difficult and has improved a great deal in accuracy and consistency.

Does anyone collect Southern Sung coinage?
I just got nine Southern Sung coins in the mail and went to work attributing them. These are great fun (for me at least). What I found the most interesting is that many of them are dated, not just by reign period but by year.

Re: Help educate a "TYPE" geek. C and D mintmarks especially.
I posted the following to a similar thread on January 2, 2004. << <i> I collect Dahlonega Gold. Special? Yes. For me it’s just a neighborhood thing I guess.

Re: Early Branch Mint Gold
As most of these coins are considered "southern gold type" by the average collector, the actual dates may not matter so much. Only a few are afforded the luxury of collecting southern gold by date. What does matter (at the time of resale) is that each coin is an awesome "type coin" in its own right. By that, I mean it's…
