This is a sterling silver ladle made by Körner & Proll, as identified by its maker's mark. Körner & Proll is a company founded in 1845 in Berlin...
I assume a magnet test would be definitive, am I correct? Did you do a magnet test? If yes, what was the outcome?
I think PGCS/NGC would grade the 1821 at VF-20, and the 1831 at VF-30. The 1831 is noticeably better- notice the detail in the eagle's talons on...
1834 1 Kreuzer; German State: Baden. 8/8 in date. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
1845 1 Kreuzer; German State: Baden. Overdate (appears to be 4/4) and small planchet clip, best seen on reverse at about 7 o'clock. [ATTACH]...
If you were to sell it, say on eBay, you would need good pictures. It would go for about $45 on eBay. It has a mintage of 1,676,000, so not as...
AU50, $45.
I agree.
Now this is what I call post-mint-damage. Very cool. Do you know if these were randomly produced or are their series of coins struck from the same...
One source (Rick Tomaska- not sure which book) says that milk spots are soap residue left on the planchet because the planchets were not properly...
You paid less than you would have paid for these if you bought them directly from Littleton. haha What type of auction was this? Online? Or a...

I would check eBay sold and see if this set has sold before. My opinion is $20 on a good day, more likely in the $9.00 to $19.99 range though. I...
The coin "Reverse 1909 to 1958" is set wrong. Supposed to be exhibiting reverse on front side of holder. Point of set is the introduction of...
99% silver, 1% gold. 0 of the other PMs. Of silver, 1% bullion, 99% mostly US and German coinage. Gold is all coinage. One bad thing with...
Clearly under-graded, which seems to be the case with International Numismatic Grading Service, at least by today's standards. I mentioned above...
The rim, denticles and lettering do not look correct. My opinion is this was not struck from a genuine 1921 Morgan.
I hate grading from photographs but I will say AU-55 (if I am seeing wear on the eagles chest and it's not the angle of view). The International...
I agree that there are more collectors. At least that is the conventional wisdom: the State Quarter program, etc., got more people interested in...
