Like some of you on this board, I collect 1959 and below nickels that I pull from circ. (just as I do with wheaties). I only collect them because,...
$30 for an "M" follis :kewl:. The flan is kind of cracked on the edge in several places, but other than that, it looks quite nice. The obverse is...
I was checking out a few of the Byzantines my local store had. The owner's wife collects them, and he sells off coins she has shed from her...
After all this time having a coin collection, I've actually never owned any sort of magnifying glass to inspect them with (unless I was purchasing...
I think I've ID'd my one, cleaned Roman: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s3227.t.html While my eagle doesn't look exactly like those...
Here are those pictures I wanted to post yesterday, but couldn't. The cleaned Roman is unattributed, and I have no idea what it could possibly be,...
After a week or two of waiting, my order from ancientcoins.ca came in: Two uncleaned Romans, a cleaned, unattributed Roman, and an AR Hungarian...
...an absolutely crisp, uncirculated $10 Federal Reserve Note (1950) in his register the other day. Doesn't seem to be worth all that much over...
I bought an AR Hungarian denarius from a hoard (1500's to 1620's). They look nice, and hopefully mine's one of the nicer ones! I also bought one...
Here's the Hadrian I bought after finding my flying eagle cent and Indian-head cents. Hadrian is Augustus at this time, and Trajan is Caesar, it...
So, I had this 1904 Indian-head that I dug up last weekend. I figured, "Hey, 1904, it's probably in the good range, so no economic loss here." I...
If my electrolysis experiments work out OK, I think I might purchase some uncleaned coins to make ship-shape and identify. Anyone else been to...
I was wondering what 'AR' in the case of silver Roman coins and 'AE' in the case of broze Roman coins meant? Google is not being kind to me with...
I found my first Indian head cent finally at my local town square park (1904, I think. Also, my metal detector is pretty low-tech), but this thing...
To conclude the story I posted a few days back (http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=14978), I returned to the coin store early Sat. morning,...
This was the best of the 11 or so steelies that popped out of a cent roll a few weeks back. I think it's been reprocessed (they all essentially...
Yesterday around noon I went in to start my 19th century type set by purchasing a Flying Eagle cent and two Indian cents (one cu-ni, one bronze)....
I just found out (haha) that there was a pattern Mr. FG created that was rejected in favor of the now infamous SBA design, and SBA's look even...
When we empty out our giant tip jar every week at work, we have it counted through a Coinstar (for free, luckily). And of course, it rejects tons...
In 1976, did they mint do sets of just the commemorative quarter/half/dollar coins, or did they only do proof sets for those three coins? Also,...
