    Chinese medals - silver isn't the only composition!

    Not sure which mint it's from. Since I've never seen one of the "big names" associated with it, I'm assuming it's by a private mint? Does anybody know if NGC would slab this?

    2018 Chinese Panda Designs Revealed! Thoughts?!

    Sorry, but that thing sucks, LOL On a positive note, however... My wallet always appreciates it when all these mints & smiths come up with all these really horrible-looking coins & pieces, heh.

    Nanjing Mint Panda & Temple of Heaven series by numicconnection.com

    There's about as much chance of somebody landing on the moon as there is as somebody landing on the sun. ;) As for milk-spots, I have the solution: Don't let them happen in the freakin' 1st place...

    There is no manipulation. There is no conspiracy.

    Is that the new thing these days? Finally admit what anybody with a half a brain cell knew all along (conspiracy & manipulation) -- yet claim that it's simply been holding the price up? Yes, that's one option. As is holding it down. As is spiking it up. As is spiking it down. As is keeping it...

    There is no manipulation. There is no conspiracy.

    Just say that 3 times, click your heels, and it will be true! A trader who admitted Thursday to conspiring to manipulate futures contracts in precious metals committed those actions while working at Deutsche Bank AG, according to a person familiar with the matter. The trader, David Liew...

    The beginning of the end...

    Everything that people hate about these large American corporate dealers, will begin to be applied to the cool high-relief Chinese medals. Do you really want that? I sure as hell don't. Also, actual mintages will shoot up, making your rare Chinese medals not so "rare." Prices will shoot up...

    The beginning of the end...

    No further need to pump these high-relief Chinese medals anymore. Finally got what we wanted, right? Only the first step. But it certainly won't be the last, for these large American corporate dealers. Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted...

    Perth Mint marketing rather than fixing the problem

    Here's what a "perfect" 70 looks like. Those at PM must be so proud... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-P-10C-1-10-Oz-Australia-Koala-Silver-Dime-NGC-SP70-D2190-/282331850196

    Perth Mint marketing rather than fixing the problem

    Thanks for the pics. I still contend that at least with your Rooster, it's a case of die fatigue. Basically, in order to save as much money as possible, they're pushing the life of the dies beyond what they should be. And/or, improper maintenance of such. This has been going on since at...

    Perth Mint marketing rather than fixing the problem

    Ronnie, do you have a 5x (or greater) loupe, by any chance? If so, use it to check out the queen's hair in the affected area (in normal lighting) of your Rooster. Then compare that to an unaffected area of her hair, to see if you notice any differences. Would be interested in hearing your...

    What coins or medals do forum members send for grading?

    Not to side-track this thread too much, but there's quite a few out there from a number of shipwrecks. Heck, there was something like an estimated 450K coins aboard the El Cazador. And stuff like what I posted above is certainly affordable & available to anybody here who's looking for something...

    What coins or medals do forum members send for grading?

    I thought Numistacker brought up something interesting in one of his recent videos (Part 1 of the NGC unboxing, around the 10:45 mark)... And that's intentionally buying something that falls under the category of a non-numerical grade. Not going to lie: I'm a numerical-grade "snob." Though...

    Perth Mint marketing rather than fixing the problem

    I don't think you're necessarily in the minority. There's been a growing backlash over the past year or two, at least according to statements on forums & YouTube or whatever, where buyers are finally wising up. Seems I've been *fairly* lucky with spotting, at least when compared to others. But...
