No edge stamp, original as far as I know. I have found no mention of the 1913 pieces having been restruck by his son...care to offer a link to that?
Yep, I've been to that site many times over the years.
My understanding of "bronzed-copper" (at least how it was applied to Conder tokens) was a copper planchet, onto which was applied bronze powder at...
The 1913 "patterns" were minted in "denominations" of 2, 3, 5, 10, and 20 Marks. They were minted in metals bronze, bronzed-copper, copper,...
There are many pieces engraved by Karl Goetz that I find artistically (and historically) interesting -- but among all of his designs, his many...
Super, as always. The Augsburg medal (last one posted) is my favorite of the bunch! :D
@lordmarcovan , absolutely stellar research and story. I really appreciate all of your work, and thanks for sharing this with us all.
That Atlas price is just hilariously stupid. They are worth about $150-200 in NGC or PCGS 66/67, and around $120-150 in 65. It seems Atlas is...
I looked up the information for yours. It is not a proof and your date is bold but not an original Hearn high relief item. Hearn did not strike...
Hi @stldanceartist : I guessed MS62/3 (I was guessing MS62). The spot at 1-2 o'clock on the obverse (near the holder prong) looks like it could...
A companies ability to "quasi-grade" coins as 70 isn't a reason at all for preferring them over another. As far as I'm concerned, ASEs and other...
Well this thread sure did devolve into nothing to do with the original topic... :cigar:
Hi Cathy, (@Stork ): You didn't do badly in your purchase. There are only 1,000 of the PL Restrikes around, and the high relief of them is far...
You're welcome. The problem is that there is a LOT of misinformation out there. Krause kind of throws stuff together without knowing the whole...
Krause isn't the place to find reliable information on this issue. I will look in my copy of Giordano's Portraits of a Prince, which gives...
Appears to be clear rub, but still luster remaining. I'd go AU53/55 given those images. My opinion may change with better pictures.
@hotwheelsearl , $1 for such a beautifully designed note is a steal IMO. Really lovely note!
Very nice images @jtlee321 . The real test is if you can get images like this one through plastic. :D Just to clarify, you mean, take 256 to...
Ray (@rmpsrpms ) I love every one of your posts. You are truly the guru, ninja, jedi, etc. of coin photography as a science. You are simply...
These two shooting medals were recently picked up from fellow board member @Zohar444 . Artistically stellar pieces in hand. The 1883 is fully...
