Nice follis @galba68 @potty dollar 1878 Late Roman coins are all about condition. WAY too many new collectors buy them because they are "old"....
Must have been extremely well protected underwater, like in a sealed cask or something. Saltwater leeches first the copper ions from silver coins....
My view of the braided hair series is they are simply too ugly. Compared to all earlier types, the braided hair to me and most collectors I talk...
Fascinating. Now, this as a trial strike I would believe. I still would suspect the OP's coin could very well just be a heavier than average...
Did they dump all of them in MN? I swear, like 8 years ago HALF of all quarters in circulation here were Yosemite. Most were D too. No joking.

I have never heard about it either. I would do a sg test on it, that might shed more light. They never tried to make every weight perfect, they...
I simply assume most everything on tv concerning coins is simply wrong. Even pawn stars. They had a shekel of Tyre on once and every single "fact"...
Careful guys. When its sea salvaged silver, the surfaces will appear porous like many fakes look. Never condemn sea salvage silver just by the...
I would agree to look at Nabatean coins if you visited Petra. Years ago I got @John Anthony started on them, (then he quickly surpassed my...
I simply wished they had some country having them legal tender so its a coin. Even for my kids, I usually try to only buy coins, not rounds. I...
Sorry, "technologically savvy" then. We forget how kind of wonky CT upload procedure is because we are used to it. Most places allow cut and...
Yeah, but we all make mistakes, and there is a good chance he has not even read he made one. I know some are impatient to answer a question, but...
Yeah, come on. Not everyone has nothing else to do but babysit CT, not everyone is great at learning what is not an intuitive upload procedure. I...
Depends on the coins. I have seen some types of coins sell for 10x what they do in the states, especially good medieval material at an auction...
Brooklyn has a good one, especially east of the Mississippi. JP in MO is good too. I usually use JP.
If stripped, I don't see why it would have a ring retone. Like I said, overly dipped coins will not want to tone, but can be forced to, and will...
Put into a folder years ago and many times this is the toning that forms. Reverse has no toning since no air got to it, and the obverse is...
You are correct that aftermarket colorization will always be viewed by the hobby as PMD. However, now that the mints are doing it, it cannot be...
I know right? I have never understood the attraction for Morgans, but usually just refrain from saying that since so many like them. Hey, great...
Separate names with a comma.
