Interesting about the Sterling silver. I knew it was .925, but I did not know it was “at least” .925. I guess someone would be stupid,...
The guy may be honest, but he seems to run some auctions that leave the door wide open to dissatisfied customers. I know full well that sometimes...
Thanks for the photo – that helps quite a bit. The brass restrike does not have anywhere near the quality of the struck tokens I have seen. I...
Darn! I wish I knew you back then. I would love to get some fakes from the source – uncirculated counterfeits would be a rarity. Of the fake...
Thanks for the link! Great info there. I guess I should plan on being outbid quite a bit if I am looking for one for 20 euros.
This is so-called coin cut-out jewelry. This is a British penny.
Reminds me of a 1955 "Poor Man's" DD. I always understood those ot be die wear of some kind, but not sure.
Makes sense to me. I have a low-grade gold proof coin (modern foreign commem) with some “copper spots” where the alloy was not evenly mixed and...
A million thanks for the advice. One other question, that will definitely save me money. How do you tell the bronze (original tokens) from...

For potential return on investment, it was a Henning counterfeit nickel that was not accurately described. I got it for $1, and that included a...
This is my uneducated opinion: Your coin has value because of the error, not the grade. If it were in some high-grade unc. then I might say...
I heard some Eurocrat say that eventually it would make sense to have identical coins across the EU - no national sides. This is the way some...
Here’s my 2 cents. It is pretty obvious that some metal got lodged in the 2 after minting. The metal is not part of the coin since it is...
I’m glad you cleared that up. I was going to buy some “raw” Silver Eagles because I thought they had Lady Liberty strutting around in her...
Brass and bronze are both alloys consisting mainly of copper. To say that a coin is definitely brass instead of bronze is a bit of a stretch,...
Thanks a million for the photos. I had forgotten some of the details, such as the date. I think the date was changed to reflect the date of the...
I am pretty technologically challenged, plus I have a firewall and restrictions at work that block out almost everything (I’ve even lost eBay...
