    Dodecahedrons are 3-dimensional solids with 12 faces. You mean dodecagon - a polygon with 12 sides.

    Silly and pedantic opinion. Language is about agreed upon meaning between communicators. No one in the niche coin area is confused by the term "juiced" with regard to coin photos (except apparently you).

    First coin in a VERY long time. Some very nice NGC photos to go along with it (nice bonus). I hope all are well.

    Couldn't the same be said for the copper 1943 cents that should have been struck on zinc coated steel planchets? If the 1943 "transition" pieces are errors (previous copper alloy planchet struck with 1943), why wouldn't the 1983 pieces be considered "transition" errors (previous copper alloy planchet struck with 1983)? Just because the alloy from 1982 looks like the new 1983 copper plated zinc cents (i.e., they both look like copper), why would it not quality as this magical "transitional error" type? NGC groups errors they will attribute into 3 main categories: Errors related to the die (Part 1) Errors related to the strike (Part 2 and Part 3) Errors related to the planchet (Part 4) ← This one I'm not sure why NGC differentiates "transitional errors" versus just calling them what they are - wrong planchet errors. All "transitional errors" are a subset of wrong planchet errors. The "sex-appeal" factor of them being left over and part of an "attic cleaning" seems to make them sell for insane money. I have no horse in this race - error coins bore me to tears as collectibles, though I find them interesting from a minting process standpoint.

    Absolutely splendid selection of coins and medals @coinsandmedals! I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor when reading and viewing this post. Kudos, and best of luck with the submissions. The encapsulation of the shells along with the items is a brilliant idea! This is the perfect use of the multi-holder. I wonder if they'll attach numeric grades to the metal shells?

    The 1972 issued Pobjoy Fantasy.

    The last of my 2020 pieces. I'm still at ZERO new numismatic items for 2021 so far.

    It still is. PCGS has become particularly inconsistent and wild with some of their grading of non-USA coins.

    It is not a 5 sovereign. It is a 2 kilogram hunk of gold with nominal value of £2000.
  33. brg5658
    Are you referring to the 2019 £2000 2-kilo (64.3 oz troy) Una and the Lion? With a mintage of only 4 pieces, I’m quite sure there is nothing all that special about a COA#1. I think you are confusing this with the smaller issued gold pieces. It’s not a bargain at the price noted, but it is nowhere near the most absurd or overpriced numismatic item I’ve seen.
  34. brg5658
    Picked up these two at the end of 2020.
