I bought this one for under spot price last month (roughly at spot price with delivery). Trustworthy seller, but with out-of-focus pictures in the listing. Thought it would be in worse shape, but I’m happily surprised.
Not a very impressive toner, but got it for $56 yesterday, so I’m very impressed 🙃
I’ve just took it out of a set/box where it was for the last 2 decades.
I think it is enough toning for this one, what do you think, should I keep it in the box?
I’m new to ancient coins and still struggling with pricing, any help is apreciated.
The 400th Anniversary of the Discovery of India refers to the 1898 celebration marking Vasco da Gama's arrival in Calicut, India, in 1498. To commemorate the historic voyage, Portugal issued a series of silver coins depicting King Carlos I and Queen Amélie.
The 400th anniversary of this historic route —which opened a direct sea path from Europe to Asia via the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa)— was highly celebrated in Portugal.
Ive just got a small Lot of F/VF USA coins, everything looks ok execpet for this one. Looks just fake, but I was wondering why some one would make a fake and not add the denomination? Is it a medal of some kind? It is non-magnetic, has same dimentions of a regular half dollar, and similar weight of a worn one.
I’m still a gold noob, looking for my third piece. I have been thinking the whole day and cant decide, would you buy the Soverign for melt price+2% or the Guinea for melt+11%? Or keep looking for another one?
I’ve just Bought this 1965 set in a small on-line auction here in Brazil, where every peace of silver was going for at least 95% of spot, and this was the only one that was really cheap so I’m a little skeptical, are there non silver 1965 sets/coins (10 cents to 1 Dollar)? And if silver, how much, compared to spot, generally is a set like this?
Thanks in advance!
