Thanks everyone. Yes, it was cleaned decades ago, but in my eyes still has a lot of appeal (and is a piece of family history). Mike, thanks for...
Hi CT, I have a 1830 (large 0) bust half that I inhertited from my grandfather. I don't believe it is the large letter variety, but would be...
Upon review, I agree, Condor -- "fradulent" is the key term here. Otherwise, there would be quite a few folks out there (making coin jewelry,...
My family has a about 50 elongated pennies, and they are interesting mementos. My favorites are the ones we got from Fenway Park & the summit of...

Hi. Here are some larger photos of the 1803 cent. I am using a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Canon 18-55mm EFS lens. I am new to SLRs, so as...
Of course it is a Peace Dollar. That was a bone-headed mistake on my part. I was looking at a Walker before I commented. Must have had the...
Looks like a circulated, well-polished Walker. BTW, I'm curious -- which of the Harry Potter books is the first edition? Jonathan
Happy New Year! This is my first attempt at photographing a coin with my digital SLR camera. I definitely need to work on it a bit. Anyway,...
