I'd grade that as G8 to F12. Any value is in the metal content, as they unfortunately made a TON that year. Some Swiss coins have surprisingly...
Well, selling it as a jewelry coin (again) may save another coin from a similar fate. I would hope that there's finite demand for that sort of thing.
It's not slabbed, so there's no "right answer". I was approached by a friend who's looking to sell this, and I was trying to nail down a...
I believe this is an S-9. How would you grade it?
I'm on Oahu for a week and was wondering if there are any good shops to check out. I like places with big junk bins to dig through and a good...
I agree with that. How does 0-114 rank on the rarity scale?
Thanks for the attribution link. I was looking at the I & T in 'Liberty' on the obverse - totally in the wrong ballpark. Here are some larger...
If I did my math right, each of those ingots should have about $2500 of silver in them. The questions are 1) if they're a uniform sizes & 2) how...
I know little to nothing about Bust varieties. Can you tell me a bit about what to look for in the I & the T? Or point me toward a coin book that...
Yours is prettier than mine. Nice. Here are 2 better pics of the obverse and a closeup of the liberty band:
Aside from the date, what areas should I get closeup pics of to help with the attribution?
I agree that buying circulated coin silver is a great way to buy precious metal, but I think the OP specified 99.9% silver only. When it comes...
Sure, I want to be part of the contest (and voted in the poll). I would recommend getting some of the America The Beautiful 5 oz 0.999 pieces....
Of course, that's one of the areas with the highest wear. Go figure. How much would an AG-3 HT355 be worth?
And one of my images didn't load right, so I'm reposting it:
Here's a partial list:...
I recently picked up an 1829 half dollar and only found out that there are a huge number of die varieties when I went to add it to my inventory....
On the OP - I think that's at least AU55. I'd have to see it in hand (or much higher resolution pictures) to grade it along the MS61-MS65 slide...
There are apparently a few other varieties of this token, so I'm not sure if I've got the right ID: http://www.hardtimestokens.com/Bucklins.html
I picked one of these up at a coin club swap meet and wonder how scarce it is or where I can read up more on it. The coin is a badly worn (AG-2 or...
