It's also missing the die letters typically seen on Pobjoy coins. I really feel like this thing was cobbled together at the last moment like you said.
This is the first coin I've seen of this type. The current series of circulating coins minted by Pobjoy for Gibraltar are commemoratives, so your...
How are the two bronzes? I've had a few of these sets but those often don't look the best.
The mintage on the 2007-L Caribou quarter is 275 million, the mintage on each Olympic design in 2007 is only 22 million. You're more than twice as...
Canada issues the regular quarter design in addition to commemoratives in the vast majority of years. Your coin is not an error.
Two new coins in the mail today, a 1964 Jersey Threepence and a 1949 / 50 Spain 5 Pesetas: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The dot on the 37s was simply intended to add balance to the design. It had no specific meaning.
Been a while since I've posted, got these the other day: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The two Israeli 10 agorots are piedfort proofs. Close-ups of the...
My money's on a 1p blank.
1943 Florin and Half Crown (never released to circulation, very few survivors) and 1985 20p (test pieces for vending machines) are the ultra...
Got a lot in the mail yesterday, here's the highlights: [ATTACH] A few of the UK's alphabet 10ps. The extra U will make good trade bait....
Not truly a 'new' acquisition, as I've owned this coin for over a month now. That said, I just realized what it is yesterday while looking at my...
Puerto Rico - 1896 P·G·V 10 Centavos [ATTACH] Bit beat up, but for melt I'm not complaining.
This one popped up in my LCS's melt bin early last year: German Empire - 1894-G 1 Mark [ATTACH][ATTACH]
France - 1920 1 Franc, Bon Pour Type [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Super pleased with this one. Seller's pics on ebay weren't that great and I was...
Another tip: Panama's coins are identical in composition and value to US ones.
Yours is from the Paris mint, which is extremely common and is 20 cent bin material on its best day. The 2 franc does not have any weight...
There are proofs from 1977 (and every other year from 1971 to today, for that matter), but I don't believe yours came from a proof set. Looks like...
The Elizabeth coin at the top is a British 5 pence, not a Canadian nickel. Can you take better pictures of it? I doubt it's a proof, but at the...
If I'm trying to sell the coin, I like the TrueView better. If I want an idea of what the coin looks like, I like your pics better.
