I recently bought and then finally had graded at PCGS this peso. I rather liked the coin but full admit it certainly is not perfect but what I...
Well, Sam, there are a few of us out here that like these coins - 1984, me, a gentleman in Poland and a few others..... I imagine there are some...
The whole coin is brass and the center oxidizes more golden color usually after being touched by finger or hand.
This is a coin outside of what I generally collect but as the 1983 "error" mule 2 New Pence caught my interest some while ago and got the 1983...
Hey all I saw these pictures of a brass 1967 sovereign that recently passed through the salesroom at Baldwin. It was identified there as a pattern...
Greg, I think I covered this to some degree in comments about packaging and I think your examples demonstrate my point. If a coin is superbly...
Hmmm, admittedly not my series but look at the 1974 PL coin above; it clearly is PL. The coins in the OP 1985 do not appear similar at all with...
Thanks for the confirmation!
Au contraire mon ami. FDC is perfect, but proof. These are not uncirculated....Uncs can be FDC but highly unusual. If these are not proof then...
Fleur de coin = FDC = usually proof. Of course the coins have not circulated so are "Unc" These coins appear obviously, at least to me, proof.
Ah yes, that would be the palladium (IMHO) version that may be more properly a type of half sov pattern
I could be wrong but side to side the matte florin of 1927 and the matte pattern reverse seem to show slightly larger lettering on the latter and...
Mmm, the nicer of the two currency but not the proof - which I wish I had gotten. I didn't purchase at Bole directly so got this through the...
To confuse matters further there is a year 2000 Bahamas dollar coin struck in copper nickel that is a commem for 2000 years of Christianity but...
Yikes, what city? Anyway, we all do have to not just give it lip service but actually to be careful with what people know and how and where we...
Well, it may be Wyon after all. In better photographs the Victoria bust appears similar to half sovereigns & am inclined to think it is after all...
Hmmm, possibly of the Royal Mint - they used that in place of obverse design on many patterns of the 1920s through ‘40s.
With all due respect the 1869 penny is rare in higher MS 64-65 grades but readily matched in rarity by the sixpence in similar grades as a quick...
Yikes I don't know but looks like one of those by Wiener or similar. Does not look like a Wyon or other better engraver.
That coin is being imaged now so should be up in the next week. Well, if my eyes have not totally failed then some of the fine differences may be...
