"...., it should have had those phrases, by
Bill Krummel
but did not, causing some to refer to it as the "lawbreaker" coin."
Numismatic News, March 1, 2005, pg.61.
Without reading the article, does anyone know which coin some have referred
to as the "lawbreaker" coin?
For those who do not know and do not subscribe to NN, two clues;

"1874 $3 Gold - Looks horrible!" question by
^
I listed this item and thought the heading described it perfectly - the
coin is beat up, gouged and worn so I was expecting to maybe get the
gold value for it. Instead, it got bid up to $150.
Why would that happen? I know some of these in perfect condition go for
thousands, but this coin really...

gogu
Hi folks!
Today I received an order form from San Marino for their "2 EURO
Commemorative coin 'Bartolomeo Borghesi" at 10 euros a piece (plus
shipping).
I know that something similar was discussed here a few weeks (?) ago but I
think it was about the 2 euros Vatican commemorative coin.
Is this...

"95% of the coin's detail must be struck up" critieria by
frank wight
When reading grading standards criteria I occasionally
bump into a statement saying ninety-five percent of the
detail in the devices must be struck into the coin. This
has caused me some confusion in grading such things as
SHQ and Kennedy halves.
In the case of the Statehood Quarters, I find that...

"Authentication Only" vs. Net Grade by
LRC-Tom
I bought a Morgan collection which includes three key dates: 1893-S,
1894-P, and 1895-O. All are decent coins based on details (wear), but
each has problems such as scratches or cleaning. I intend to submit
them to ANACS for authentication, but I haven't decided whether to have
them give a net...

"Blackened money" con game by

Got a call today from a guy who wanted to know if we knew anything about

"British euros" delayed for how long? by
Tulse X. Luper
In the middle of 2003 I put in an order with Chards of the UK for the 2003
edition of (privately minted) British euros, that at the time were slated to

"Budget" auction needed at ANA convention by

I think that a "budget" auction would be a nice addition to the ANA
convention.
There is a budget section on the brouse which is nice but I would bet
that
many people who enjoy auctions are going to be priced out of the
official
ANA auction. An auction with nothing valued over say $300 would...
