First, I want to thank all of you for your responses. It is great to hear your opinions. I wish I could shed more light on the coin’s...
Hello CT. This is an 1806 Bust Half that I have had for years (ten + at least). Don’t recall where or how I acquired it, but it was originally...
Geez. That coin brings to mind the Seinfeld episode about the Kramer oil painting - when the buyer says of it "He is a loathsome offensive brute...
Many thanks, Paddy. I need to get a copy of the Spink Standard Catalogue and learn more about British coins. What would you say the coin's...

Hi, I'm trying to attribute my Elizabeth I shilling. Weighs 6.03 grams, and has a diameter of 31 -32 mm. Does not have a rose or date. I'd be...

Illini420 -- Thanks for the link to the grading set. Very cool. The "in hand" color & condition of my 1908-s are quite similar to those of the...
Thanks to everyone for your opinions on this Morgan. I thought that AU was a fair grade for the coin, and I agree with the VAM 2a designation....
Yes, I examined it with a 10X loupe -- no telltale abrasive hairlines. At the same time, I'm not sure if the surface is original. So, it might...
Hi CT, Here is another coin I purchased at the NH Coin Expo. These photos looked pretty good when I took them, but now look pretty bad. Ugh...
Hi CT. I am finally getting around to posting some pictures of two coins I got at the NH Coin Expo back in April. I'll post the other coin (an...
Ahh -- I should have looked on eBay first. I found this listing:...
