Here is a coin to look at, and with an interesting story. Rare would be it as well. This coin was struck in 1922 and is one of five, each of a...
You know, I really love this shilling and will pit it up against virtually any as the finest Victorian shilling I have seen as it is well struck...
Yes, and the letter was sent along with the crown from seller from ??South Africa. It was interesting and so saved it. Don't know about the "very...
Yes, that was my read as well. I guess I should stop being lazy and look up who the Deputy Mint Master (not listed as known on Wikipedia) was to...
Sorry about the photos, and the obverse has a shadow of the phone....
Well I found this of interest as I have something of a collection and got this original letter of correspondence from the RM to a certain Robert....
I got this one some 20 years ago and put it in with a complete George V Halfcrown collection of currency issues into a custom Capitol holder. All...
Ah thanks. The '62s out there but the '66s not so much. I now have an AUish but pleasant backup coin now.
So this coin came up and has been on my wait list for some time. it is the Surinam 1966 (NOT 1962) One Gulden. This coin was struck at a time that...
66PL - just compare this to your average 65 and it is clearly better. The photo IMHO limits the guess as to PL vs. DMPL. Cheek clean, nice fields,...
I will post in this space the grade from NGC (if it ever gets back) along with a couple of others....Hah, that will be a minute or two!
Ah, JTL, very good. That is exactly right IMHO. I actually have the very rare 1843/54 groat as well, but it is really a pile! LOL. To the OP,...
Ok, I have had this coin for several years and am not sure of the date. This despite prooflike status that does not show up in the photos - it is...
I think I will get this graded at the Baltimore show. In hand, and looking at my other "Cabs" it should be about a 63, believe it or not. Anyway,...
The 1945 graded MS65 and the 1959 graded MS63.
Exactly, and this brassy material loses lustre and presentation rapidly & they are usually quite dull. The 1959 5 cents is quite hard and IMHO...
Ok, these coins are VERY scarce or even rare in true uncirculated and thought I’d share - the first one cost a bit, LOL: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
What type of lighting? I just use natural or occasionally the kitchen overhead - not exactly museum type...
I believe it was as the early to mid-60s that the Royal Mint had a lot going on. I have copper nickel off metal strikes on the penny (1964-1967)...
I was a sucker for this and bought it recently, sadly there is no full date:
