Ping: ftecaw by
ANTELOPEDUNDEE
ftecaw or whoever the hell you are. It seems that your only virtue is an
uncanny ability to call people names and put them down. YOU are a FIRST CLASS
PRICK. This newsgroup and in fact the world would be a far better place
without assholes like you who seem to think that they have to somehow...

object identification (not coin) by
John Doe
Wasn't sure were else to ask. Found this with my metal detector. I guess
it's a US military belt buckle/medal. American eagle copper about 1/8"
thick.
The picture dimensions are 2.14 inches (2 1/8) by 1.97 inches (1 15/16).
The object's diameter is 1.788" (1...

Counterfeits: What was done by
Reid Goldsborough
Besides counterfeiters having their hand chopped off or losing their
lives, another consequence of counterfeiting has been the defacement
of coins. In ancient times, people would sometimes slash a coin with a
blade to reveal if there was good metal (silver or gold) underneath
the surface, creating...

Soveriegn by
martyn
I have been buying Soveriegns on ebay of late and have amassed quite a
few. Before the last one I bought, all had the head and St George and
the dragon the same way up.
The last one is somewhat different, it is an 1882 example, Victorian
Bun Head. If you hold this one with the head upright and...

West Point Silver American Eagle Proofs by
MarkR
What years were these made? I'd like to get an example of each one made.
I'm not into getting slabbed one's, but if I have to I will. And I'm also
aware that the 1995-W was the one with the smallest mintage and is EXTREMELY
expensive. I may have to leave that one out for now and come back when...

What is Exciting News ? by
High Plains Writer
The discovery of the 5th Liberty 1913 Nickel apparently has gripped
many collectors in the USA as exciting news. I understand and
appreciate the story. I have no feelings about it.
Back in 1997 or 1998, a reporter called me at my home and asked me for
background and other information about an...

One of the coins is a 1907-S Liberty $20 gold piece in MS??. My question
is this: how is PCGS with grading gold? Are they "the" grading company

Pilgrim Commem by
John Carney
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jcarney44/coins/pilgrim.jpg
After looking at 8-9 Pilgrims in grades from 62-66, I bought this one because of the eye
appeal and luster. A lot of the 64s I looked at, especially in PCGS slabs looked a little
dull and lacked the luster of this coin. I also like the 15...

report on Eric Tillery's grading skills by
Nooker
As most of you know, Eric is a very helpful person. Recall I am selling off
a friends Morgan dollar inheritance (shameless plug here : 72 up for
auction now on eBay under user Nooker99, including CC mint), and Eric looked
at a few coins for me, and gave me his estimate of their grade. Well, I...

Shopping New Precious Metal Coins by
Nikolas Ojala
I have considered buying some new silver,
gold and maybe platinum coins.
I'm not eager to pay extra price for old proof
coins, which means I prefer new bullion coins.
What would be a good Internet retail shop,
possibly inside European Union?
I need to know a company with fair
prices and good...
