Here's a thought exercise. Suppose you have a coin for which there is a huge jump in price between grades (say $200 to $2000). You are convinced...
I have been checking every 46-S dime I could find for the past four years (and I spend a lot of time going through the junk silver bins). This is...
I can't do the whole coin (lousy camera), but I can take some pics through the microscope. Here's part of each side so you can get an idea as to...
Been searching one of these for a number of years. Actually, I never thought I'd find one. This is the mint mark on a 1946 dime [ATTACH] Last...
Don't think so. The line you mention should come from "under" the mintmark, not on top of it. Check coppercoins, they have some detailed information
I'm going off the Krause 19th century book (which may very well be wrong). That book lists the 5 centimes from 1853-1857 as KM#777.1-777.7 with...
You know, you just convinced me to put most of my British coins reverse side out. I really like seeing the dates, but was being ruled by what the...
Thanks for the suggestions. I actually already tried to get the info from eBay pictures. I see some that look slightly different but don't know...
Would anyone happen to have images of the large and small "D" mint marks on the 1856 French five centimes coins? TIA for any info.
I bought all of the coins for that set at whatever 90% silver was going for at the time I bought each coin. At the time I bought it, a quarter...
I would like to respectfully disagree. You are focusing on the demand side not on the supply side which is where the question started. As an...
Try to find the total number of coins of each denomination for each year that have been slabbed. The denomination with the highest number of...
Interesting site. The author appears to have extensive knowledge. However, he brings up a couple of issues that seem unresolvable. First, he...
Looks to me that the best evidence for doubling is the "RTY" in the last picture inn the previous post
I have moved heavily into world coins. Where else can you get 250 year old coins in reasonable shape for <10 cents apiece. My last batch of...
Don't know if was just me, but the survey was completely screwed up. When I clicked on forward, it asked me questions about responses that I did...
I have ordered "The Identification of British 20th Century Bronze Coin Varieties" by David Groom. Is there companion volume that covers 19th...
Here is an example of a variety I have found among the Queen Victoria Half Pennies (Edit: its an 1861) It has a pretty strong doubled die...
Yeah, I guess it was a pretty stupid question. In my defense though, this forum has world coins listed as a catch-all category for anything not...
I am expanding into world coins after a number of years focusing on United States issues. In the US, die varieties can be a big deal. Is the...
Separate names with a comma.
