I collect mainly American coins, but my uncle died and his daughter sent me 60 of his coins, 25 of which were foreign. Of the foreign coins I saw...
Okay. Thank you.
Hi, folks. I was hoping you could help me. I have an 1887 German pfenning with no visible mint mark. Actually, my understanding is that there...
Mercuries - I collected those and silver dollars when I was a paperboy in the 1960's.
Thanks.
I hope it is. I paid a tidy price for it.
I once posted a picture of my 1869 over 9 cent. Someone suggested it looked like it might be an 1869 over 69 - it was hard to tell. Here is the...

Thanks for your advice, everybody, and I owe you an apology. I called the dealer and found out I was mistaken about the coin. It was an AU-50...
It's interesting, though, that the highest priced coin in the bunch, at $420, was described as "harshly cleaned," and, indeed, it looked like...
I was able to find seven listings for 1872 XF details. The average price was $299. That was very helpful. Thanks.
It didn't even occur to me to check. No, I have no images. My brief appraisal of the coin was that there was nothing wrong with it. Apparently it...
I am in need of a silver dollar, 1866-1873, for my type set. A dealer has an 1872 dollar that has been graded by a coin service as extremely fine...
