Popular Post R__Rash Posted January 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 I really like the “guess the grade post”, thought I’d see if anyone would venture a possible grade for the love of silver on this survivor.! tj96, Hoghead515, Mohawk and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawk Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Oh geez.....another U.S. guess the grade.....do I even want to wade in? Ah, what the hell. If I blow it, I blow it. I'm going with XF Details-Cleaned. R__Rash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mohawk Posted January 13, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) My German streak has crossed the Inner German Border. Here's part of my latest pickup from a great dealer on eBay I've done business with before. These are the seller's photos and this coin is a circulation strike: Edited January 13, 2022 by Mohawk Fenntucky Mike, Lem E, R__Rash and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay R_Rash....photos can be difficult and even more so if you don't have a good setup and/or good lighting. I stand by my earlier vote of XF Details-Cleaned. It could be the photos, but the color of the coin just looks off to me, to explain the Details guess. Edited January 13, 2022 by Mohawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have beautiful designs and great collectability. While the Canadian and German collecting communities aren't as large as the U.S. collecting community, they're definitely not small, obscure markets either. Best of luck on your auctions and when you win (I always like to think positive!), please make sure to share your new coins with us. I, for one, would love to see them!

Popular Post Coinbuf Posted January 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2022 Cannot recall if I posted this one here or not, so I'll post it anyway.

Popular Post Woods020 Posted January 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2022 I actually like this coin better than that merc even though I have a real passion for the mercs. This is one of, if not my favorite coin I currently own. And it’s not the most expensive by a long shot. But it “speaks” to me haha. rrantique, tj96, Fenntucky Mike and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
