Yeah, you don’t see a clean shaven Lincoln very often, do you?
Speaking of medals, I recently saw this neat rarity for sale:...
I recently made my second purchase from Mike, a nicely toned 1901 Barber half in an ANACS soap bar slab graded MS-62: [ATTACH] This purchase has...
I found this reply from bolivarshagnasty far more disturbing than the OP:
The easiest way to tell for sure is to test its specific gravity. If it’s around 10.5, then it is probably silver and you should have it tested...
I agree. It's neither trash nor treasure, just 1 cent.
Well, bless your heart for trying. But, when there are multiple posts like this a week that make it easy on people to guess, I just don’t see why...
No, it really isn't. I predict you won't have many, if any responses in this format.
I was actually thinking there might be some detail on the reverse that could yet be uncovered. Of course, you don't really know... what you might...
Yeah, definitely messed with. It's so bad, I thought it looked fake for a second.
The color? It's either some kind of crud, or some surface oxidation. Neither one would be particularly interesting on a coin like this.
Mail me the coin and I'll tell you. Seriously. Not that I actually expect you to mail me your coin, but that I'd have to look at it in hand to...
If by MS, you mean at least MS-60, then, no. If you mean “nice MS,” then a really nice 21 is hard to come by, but 22 is still a common date.
I’m guessing when you said “library system,” you meant the local public library. In that case, I have no idea, because I haven’t been to a public...
Neat! Is “model” just 19th century British-speak for “pattern,” or is there some additional meaning to it? How rare are these, and what’s a good...
I wasn't aware they gave out grades less than 70. :P
I was late to the party, but I guessed 61. I saw a 61 obverse and a 65-66 reverse, but I thought the obverse was just plain ugly and not enough...
I'll say 40, but 45 or 50 would not shock me at all.
Yep, that’s a münster newp alright! Love it! Any idea what the weight and diameter are?
Great coins everybody! Alas, I have none to add, but I do have a request. I know it's a little gauche to talk about prices paid for stuff, but,...
Separate names with a comma.
