This website has a ton of info about FAO coin program. Basically, from what I've read the goal was to be primarily educational and to promote...
Uruguay might be nice, and apart from the intestinal repercussions of my visit to Panama (I think I was served a glass with ice in it on my next...
Interesting set, and thank you for sharing here. I actually think I have almost all of these (excluding the pair from Uruguay, which are pretty...
My wife got her first COVID vaccine shot today, and she asked if I wanted to go to the coin shop that's only a 5 min. drive from where she got it....
For me, it would depend on cost - if I could get the raw example for $12-15*, I'd take that. If I could get the graded VG8 for $30, and the...
Nice coins, congratulations on the gem grades :)
I would personally appreciate circle cropping the images to remove the background. After that, I think it's personal choice how you'd like to...
That's one of my all-time "bummers" about finding a coin with a great obverse...and a jacked-up reverse. You get all excited...and then the...

Well, haha, I do remember my set of "fun" (well, I was having fun playing around, anyway) images of a certain ASE were much less than...
Well, one thing you might consider is that coin photography (or, lighting) often accentuates even the tiniest of marks/rubs/dings. I've got coins...
I kind of figured, based on your comments, that the coin was going to be in a "lower than expected" holder. To me, the coin looks like a piece...
Here's a CoinTalk post hiding in the Google search results where @Mark Metzger does an overlay:...
Yeah, I don't see those parallel lines on either of the CoinCommunity Halves either. They do remind me a lot of the same area on some Morgan...
Pretty sure the area in the shield is a die clash, as I mentioned back in Post #5. Here is another 1858 P Seated Half with the same clash in the...
Sent you a PM, so as not to hijack @Morgandude11's thread too badly. He hasn't revealed the grade yet, FWIW.
Felt like I needed to be a bit more conservative with this guesstimate, as I probably overgraded @Lehigh96's 1941 S Jefferson yesterday. :)
