Which makes total sense, since Liberia was colonized by Americans.
As I said--I know very little about S. Korean coins--I'm simply agreeing that I've seen something similar with Krause "values"--but not to such a...
Very cool coins! I can't help but notice how much that Liberia 1862 2c resembles the earlier Great Britain "cartwheel" pennies/2d.
Wow--those '95-00 5 Won are low mintages--there must be a corresponding high collector demand for those prices. :) I'm not very familiar with S....
I'm looking for US silver that has little collector value for the purpose of research. I'll pay 14-20X face, depending on date. Preferably, the...
Here's a new overdate that arrived today. It's a common coin, but the 8/7 is pretty strong. This one pretty much has all the markers you would see...
That's really nice! Usually I see clashes in the fields, so any clash that transfers details inside the portrait is really cool! I can only guess...
You're right! I did not fix that error in time...oops! :sour: This is the 4 Centesimos coin. Uruguay made a 10 Centavos coin this year, but not a...
But it's an overdate--what I specialize in--do you have a picture? :)
I found this 1869 Uruguay 10c at a show. It's sure an interesting coin! It's not just a nice doubled die, but the oldest trail dies coin...
I've read your results several times, and the SG results for bronze, CuNi, and Al coins all seem to be within expected parameters. I should note,...
I could spend two pages describing proper methodology--which admittedly I left out in the interests of space and to focus on results. The concept...
I think I've explained why I can't test these particular coins--many are no longer in my possession. I consider my SG tests fairly rigorous--for...
Well...a few of these coins have been since sold, but I have other silver coins, if not the exact test specimens discussed above. An honest...
Assay via XRF will be much more prevalent in the future--and all these silver coins are just begging for new analysis. Rather than hold to...
I think it's interesting that it's easier to believe the ancient Romans were debasing silver than by modern governments--as if people today are...
I guess my point is this--my gut reaction to a particular test should not be the basis on which I decide it's factual--or not. For example, during...
Thanks Gxseries--for checking those figures against the math. In retrospect, I should have elaborated--some of those figures provided came from...
The coin is clearly out-of-round, and not from a second strike, which I'd say eliminates it being struck this way. My guess--unequal pressure by...
That's in beautiful condition for a roll find! It must have been stashed away for many years.
