Re: A hard question about Russian Plate Money
Let me preface this post with a few things: 1. I am not an expert in this type of coinage and have handled very little of it. 2. It is difficult to fully judge authenticity from internet photos. 3. I've been wrong before. My first impression of this group is that I hope you bought them from a reputable source with a… -
Re: Has anyone had a CAC coin upgrade and then restickered by CAC at the new higher grade?
SpaceHayDuke: The only thing CAC does is evaluate whether they would like to buy the coin in the grade given on the slab, this is their thing, they make a market in coins they like. This statement is false and misleading. This is not the "only thing CAC does"! There are various activities. Moreover, CAC accepts submissions… -
Re: could the eruo become. . .
One could make the argument that there are and will be so many dollars and possibly Yuans that have gone into keeping the Euro and European Central Banks in play that the Euro will become the defacto world currency simply because the foreign banks have made such a large fiscal buy-in just to keep it alive. If the Euro dies… -
Re: A small horde - New Zealand and Australian coins
Update... Mom died Jan 13, 2009. Work has been busy. And I haven't had much chance to do anything with the collection (accumulation). I did sort it into boxes by denomination and date. But haven't indexed it or photographed it. My intent is to get around to it and sell this stuff. With mom passing away, it took out the… -
Re: Lets build a 1952 Topps set.
To say this guy had a interesting life is a understatement. I think the coolest info on the back of any baseball card: Eddie Waitkus, the son of Lithuanian immigrants, grew up in Boston. Eddie began his pro career in 1938 playing for the Worumbo Indians, a semi-pro team sponsored by Worumbo Woolen Mill in Lisbon Falls,… -
Re: 1795 silver center dollar enigma
In 1795, some of the adjusters and their daily pay: Rachel Summers 50 cents per day Sarah Waldrake .50 Henry Voigt, Jr. .88 Lewis Bitting $1.20 Lawrence Ford $1.20 John Cope, Chief Adjuster $1.60 Lewis Laurengen, "Puncher," would also have been involved @ $1.20 per day, to punch the holes in the planchets. The small plug… -
Numismatic Treasures #2: 1674/5 St. Patrick Coppers
My first Numismatic Treasures thread discussed the 1793 Strawberry Leaf Cent. MidLifeCrisis posted this in that thread: << <i>Looking forward to a few posts on colonials! >> I figured, why not, let me give it a shot. So here is my attempt: PCGS AU50, "The Collier Collection", ex Bowers' March 1988 sale of the Norweb… -
Re: $250 silver by the end of 2026 ?
ACQUIRING gold is different than agreeing to tie monetary policy to a fixed price of gold...requiring a painful internal adjustment (falling prices, falling wages, falling GDP output). :) If the Treasury did issue more paper than gold reserves (not clear), that showed the difficulty even in an era pre-populism and… -
Re: One of One? Or, PMD?
In short: no. This does not happen. If the mint were to deliberately damage or deface a die because it failed an inspection, it would simply be destroyed; they wouldn't carve ampersands on it and then strike coins with it. And if, hypothetically it did happen, then a "mark" carved or stamped onto a die would create a… -
Re: Do you trust AI?
My initial reponse to the OP's question was...trust AI with what, exactly? ...So I asked AI (Gemini) :blush: - PROMPT: Can I trust AI? Trusting AI is a bit like trusting a highly intelligent, incredibly fast intern who sometimes sleep-walks: you can rely on them for the heavy lifting, but you probably shouldn't let them…
