Got a Facebook ad today that left me rolling my eyes. Morgans for $9.99 each - you pick the date! In "good" condition that sure looks like ms63 or...
I thought the German medals had a lazy "I" that curved back to the left, & the British propaganda pieces (quickly made from newspaper photos of...
I picked this up recently & am not sure how to grade it. A 2 year series lacks a lot of wear references. Even the catalogs seem to lack...
It's a semi-key date due to the low-ish mintage & high melting rate around that time. Looks like the buyers estimated it to be at least AU55:...
I concur with the $50 price estimate. Shell cards are genuinely rare, due to their fragility & their perceived lack of value (both back in the...
What was the purpose of these bullion rounds? The late 50s & early 60s were times when private ownership of gold was disallowed by many countries...
I picked up one of these recently with a placeholder bid. It very well might be a copy, because I know so little about the variations. To add to...
Does anyone have a micro D available for comparison?
Heck of a story - and the only coin I can think of off the top of my head that shows a decapitation.
Try putting a little distilled water on it. The water will sometimes cling to denser areas and help reveal the date as it evaporates.
Yep, 1.5 grams at 90% fine. Yours is not only twice the intrinsic value of mine, but has an even more attractive portrait (IMO). It seems they...
There's one skunk in every bunch of flowers... ;)
I'm not sure on the attribution of this, as these gold "coins" in the 50s & 60s seem to have dubious and contradictory monetization, absent...
I'm not sure how to spot the micro D variety that's noted here. "Also obscure but of far greater potential is the single reverse die having the...
I picked up this silver real a while back & haven't been able to verify the attribution that the dealer had on it. He labeled it as a 1668...
I'd be interested. But probaby in the secondary market. Mint prices seem to be getting futher and furher out of step with market pricing.
Entry post. Came on the boards today to share some silver I found while cleaning an estate. These were mixed in with about CA$20 of spendable...
I think split grades are still fairly common for early American coppers due to the coin cabinet friction effect on so many of them. A G/VF is not...
I picked up a pair that arrived the other day. Apparently, the state treasurer got in trouble with the law for printing some on the side (at least...
Changed composition in 1964. And the design is largely unchanged since 1946. The nickel has had TJeff since 1938.
Separate names with a comma.
