If you like Christmas and have kids, this coin would be hard to pass up [IMG]
Sometimes the more you dig into the origins of gold, the more you realize how tainted this metal is. Take for instance California gold rush and...
There is always a possibility and has been shown in history. Here's one example - [img] In 1931 in Kweichow (Guizhou) Province, China -...
Shanghai tael. Not genuine. Excessively rare. A genuine example looks like this...
I've used Photoshop and merged all images as pdf. Each photo is taken individually and labelled accordingly. Takes a while to do it but the...
Revived an old thread... this album is now complete! I sold some duplicates off my collection and saved as much as I could for quite a while....
Good question - I do not know if there is such an organization. These days many world mints don't even produce planchets themselves. Australia for...
This is a very interesting piece!!! Thanks for showing - that worked out to be a challenge. From what I understand: 平遠縣 (written from right to...
I love scientific article like this. Keep up the good work!!! As Conder101 mentioned, I am genuinely intrigued over how steel was made back in...
Education? Not a problem. This is an example purchased about 10 years ago. [img] A rather rare Gansu fat man "coin". If genuine, this is easily...
If the exact same planchets are shipped to China and are used for overstrike, what difference does it make? It's hypocrisy - nothing more,...
The details look very wrong. Can you please take a photo of the edge? As this coin is struck in the last year, coins of 1916 and 1917 should have...
Care to elaborate? This is a perfect opportunity to outsource overstriking to China where production and raw material cost is less than a dollar.
What is the difference between Chinese counterfeiters and this. I see zero difference other than they are made in different countries. A perfect...
I do not believe this is an accident. The 2015 mule dollar happened to be unique if not very rare which does not make sense if the die has been...
WHAT'S WRONG? TYPING IN CAPS FOR STARTERS! IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS USED IN SOME EXPERIMENT AND CLEANED. VALUE? NOT A LOT!!!
I'm under the impression that it's a mint sports, similar to the 2015 mule dollar coin. Time will tell.
As you can see, 1805 EM 5 kopek is known to have a mule of 1806 eagle. This is quite scarce....
