[ATTACH][ATTACH] Sorry about the quality - just had my cell phone handy.
I don't see any clear diagnostic symbols to ID this coin, and I didn't find it on a flip through of Middle Eastern countries. It appears to have...
No one? I didn't get the usual 4 immediate responses of "It would be helpful if you posted pictures", so I guess I'm ahead of the game there...
There's no imagery on the token at all. Just the words. That said, I'll post a pic when I find what on earth I did with my camera charger......
I came across a token that reads "TOP HAT" on one side and "(20) DP" on the other. It appears to be brass and is 24mm in diameter. Would this be...
I'm trying to identify this medal. I presume it's a German imitation $20 gold piece (as Spiel Marke is German for "play dollar"). Has it been...
How about the 1907 (philadelphia) peso? Only 3 minted (for assay purposes, if I've got the story straight). Only 1 known today. I dream of going...
I'm writing the outline for a class on Gold & Silver scams for an upcoming Rec Center class. As part of the instruction, I plan on testing a few...
Any idea where I could find a tungsten bar? I'm getting ready to teach a class on common Gold/Silver scams at the local rec center, and would...
Nope, but I like the idea. A few weeks ago, a prank show superglued an iPhone5 to the sidewalk in Rome and videotaped people's reactions to...
The d in "1D" apparently refers to a denarius, oddly enough. One of the strange holdovers from Roman Britain that was exported to several...
I'd say medoraman is right. Numismatic value tends to work more as a price floor rather than a buffer or leverage. As melt value has risen, it has...
Really? I very rarely come across them. That may be because I'm in Texas and they didn't travel as far as the zinc, resin, and plastic issues.
So, you're saying that the mintage for 1863 might be much higher than Krause suggests? Do we have any Brazilian experts who have some idea about...
Does anyone know of a way to pull up the Stack's image (or happen to have that catalog)?
What do you do with your fakes? I usually put them in a flip labeled "FAKE" but I'd like to get a punch die to stamp them "COPY".
There were a lot of billion coins in circulation in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. I think most of the silver that went into them...
Yeah, the Stack's image didn't load for me either. That sometimes happens on the older, archived auctions.
I picked up a high grade example of this coin today and am a bit confused by the mintage numbers in Krause. For more than half of the series...
Stacks appears to have sold one as part of a pair: http://legacy.stacks.com/Lot/ItemDetail/125346
