An Owl for Anka - 8 new
-----------------------
...It's a fouree, of course. These are usually ascribed to the emergency issue
mentioned in Aristophanes' play The Frogs, but they could be private forgeries
too. It is because of the danger of plated coins like these that coins were
frequently tested by chopping them with a chisel. - Wed, Mar 11 2009 10:14 pm

WTB: BEP hand-pulled proofs at Portland ... - 1 new
---------------------------------------------------
I will again be buying the spider-press "Hand Pulled Proof" souvenir cards
printed and raffled off by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at the
Portland ANA National Money Show this weekend (March 13 - 15). Due to some of
my "standing order" customers dropping out, I need fewer cards this time, and
fully expect to fill my needs on Friday - Thurs, Mar 12 2009 4:25 am

...I am sorry. On reflection it was not a very helpful comment! I am guilty of
an off-the-cuff remark. Please put it down to a long day! The real diagnostic
is the BM. If that is not visible, then the coin is so worn that the
difference in value is very minor. The head is definitely of lower relief than
previously. I suggest that a better - Thurs, Mar 12 2009 10:42 am

Funny Nixon Token "A Profile in Integrity" - 1 new
--------------------------------------------------
Has anyone seen one of these before: [link] [link] It was having a problem
being displayed in Firefox. It's a token that shows Nixon, Eisenhower and
Lincoln in bust with the words "A Profile in Integrity." Priceless! but I'm
curious if there is a price for this. - Thurs, Mar 12 2009 2:04 pm

High Relief Gold Coins Graded by PCGS? - 2 new
----------------------------------------------
Simple question...why would someone throw the Mahagony box and cert out when
sending the coin to be graded? The box itself would cost $100 to purchases.
Just compare to cheap made in China cases of molded wood that cost $40. Second,
its custom designed for the US Mint hence even at $100, impossible to find.
So why don't dealers - Thurs, Mar 12 2009 3:22 pm
