I don't have the time to check the seller's purchases, but it seems to me that if he only paid 99 cents for the darn thing, he wouldn't be making...
I disagree. In the case of a dope sale, both parties know that what they're doing is illegal. In this case, the buyer is not engaged in an illegal...
Here are some more Gallery Mint Museum reproductions. All reproductions were made with hand-engraved dies and planchets having the exact...
I hereby declare this rare 1916 Barber dime to be a GOOD MS-64! Bidding starts at $16! Or Buy It Now for $35! Better hurry, this little gem will...
Thanks :) It was struck in a very limited edition by the Gallery Mint Museum in 1992, I think. It's a really hefty hunk of metal. I don't think...

What you have there are not coins, but medals put out by private mints. The Aureus Magnus medals are .980 fine gold The top two medals-- 800th...
Here's a real silver One Yen coin for comparison (1895) To me, the Roman alphabet lettering in your coin looks wrong (letters seem to be too...
If it's real, it would be indeed a 1904. On edit: I'm 95% sure your coin is fake. The Chinese/Kanji characters don't look right (not sharp and...
