Is that a copy of a Judd-1220 trade dollar pattern?

Correct its a counterfeit unknown the reverse is spot on for the Judd 1220

 

This one qualifies . . . .

In honor of the queen. $30.

 

This one has its own thread but I'll post it here too. $15 + $4 shipping. English hammered coins like this one are popular and not overly expensive in this grade, and this one came at a bargain price, so I feel like it is a great addition to the under $50 thread.

 

Is that one counterstamped too?

Nice.

Here's one that came in just under the wire at $48.00. It's a 1936 Buffalo Nickel graded MS-64 that happens to have some nice pastel toning and is an unattributed DDO and it also is in one of my favorite slabs to collect! I haven't had a really nice cherrypick like this in quite some time. @Paddy54, I thought about you when I came across this one.

 

Looks like an FS-101?

 

Technically it's a FS-102, but PCGS would clump together with the FS-101. The biggest difference is the tail of the 9. The FS-101 has a large visible split, whereas the FS-102 does not.

 

I got this capital plastics holder with 3 uncurculated bicentennial clad coins for $5. The 3 coin 40% silver set I got in OGP for $20. I cut them out of the pilofilm and switch out the coins in the capital holder. Looking closely I will have to try an acetone rinse as the 46 years in the OGP seems to have left some residue on the silver clad coins. Really makes a nice desk set.

 

Boy those are some nice looking bicentennials, well done!

 

$26. Rpm 006

 

Picked up this morning for 42 Euros.
1902-O Morgan VAM 44

 

I think this will easily qualify as my "find of the year" - found it hiding at the bottom of a small box of foreign coins (mostly silver and older, low-grade copper coins) today for $30:



Outclasses my other 20 cent piece (which I also got in a batch of foreign silver a couple years back) by a HUGE margin. Probably the nicest raw 20c piece I've ever seen locally (I've seen some graded MS examples at big shows.) Note the rim cud on the obverse below the date and the numerous die cracks on the reverse.

(NOTE: It's not for sale, I'm definitely keeping it for myself.)

 

1944-S PCGS MS66+RD Wheat Penny $29

 

But the profit would get you ten or twenty more "foreign boxes" to roll the dice on...

 

Mpd too

 

1570 - Castle mm Elizabeth I sixpence $13... including shipping from UK!

 

I'm not sure it's a MPD - doesn't match the two varieties listed on PCGS site (both look like 8's in the denticles, only in different spots.) I don't see anything down there on my coin. I do what look like die scratches/lines within the folds of the lower gown, but not sure that looks like a MPD to me.

Feel free to educate me, though
