  1. Indeed, these are all terrible fakes.
  2. It's pretty much stuck the way it is unless you want to wrap it in a napkin or something to make it tone quicker. But it looks fine as is.
  3. Beautiful coins. I love the Abolitionist token & Lati.
  4. Some of the photos I like better then others. His insta: https://www.instagram.com/hipshotphotography/
  5. That's what makes buying coins online much more pleasant. Don't have to worry about being judged. I have gone to a few coin shows and I stick out like a sore thumb because of the color of my skin. I too don't dress in "high end" fashion, but comfortable since those convention centers can get very hot. I've had plenty of the scanning at me, being watched closely as if daggers are ready to be thrown. No thank you. The dealers I have actually bought from were pleasant, answered any questions I may have had & were happy to make a deal if you bought multiple items, no matter the cost. Those are the ones that earn my return, but it's few and far between. And since Covid, I haven't gone near a show since nor do I think I may go again.
  6. Price #1 If it grabs my attention for some particular reason. History attached to it. Something odd, like die clashing, overweight for the types, heavy die breaks. If its a cheaper/better grade duplicate then I already own, sell the one I have for more $ or break even from what I paid for the older one.
  7. Coins that are shipped/wrapped in layers and layers of packing tape, you need a chainsaw to even begin to start it. Plastic flips that are stapled shut, especially around the coin or opening where the coin slides out. Packages shipped but never sent the tracking number. Charging $10+ to ship, usps label shows $3 was paid, no insurance. Seller shows they're located in France or something, item ships from Bulgaria instead, Uh Oh!!!

    Beautiful coin.
  9. ^That would be funnier if it was U.S. Coins or any of the Quarter programs currently going on.
  10. Interesting that ANACS Nero says it's corroded. It may not be smooth surfaces, but i've seen much worse corrosion on bronze and to me looks better then smoothing would have done to it.
  11. Love the new addition, wonderful colors and handsome portrait.

    Beautiful coin, congrats. Love the toning.
  13. For a historical coin, I would have waited for a better one to come along. I think it's a bit rough, the obverse is especially glaring. Affordable ones surface on Vcoins at times, especially from Aegean Numismatics. If you're happy, that's all that matters.
  14. Very true, even a recent PBS program talked about that. But, it seems to be pretty common knowledge male cavemen hunted, females gathered. Some females did go on the hunts as well.
  15. I've always wanted an Argentina, 8 soles, but they tend to be on the pricey side.
