If you could post images it would help. There are a few modern Swiss issues of some value.
You can buy 1967 pennies in decent mint state for around £1 each here in Britain. They're incredibly common. Gold plated, it's worthless to a coin...
I've got nothing from the USA, which is kind of a pity, but I can't find any early issues which aren't disproportionately expensive.
Partial split bands and some very minor doubling (which accounts for the S's shape) IMO.
On second thoughts, I agree - Antonius Pius faces the other way.
Cedar, rose wood and mahogany are OK. I'd recommend putting uncirculated coins in plastic capsules to prevent cabinet friction. I personally quite...
Well, you haven't really lost "well over a thousand dollars". Remember that: you didn't buy the coins as an investment, you bought them because...
In my opinion that's a cast copy of a sestertius of the Roman emperor Antonius Pius, but it's not completely clear.
That's a beautiful coin, pity about the bag marks =0.
Hmm, I was thinking the same, due to the interruption of the patina on the reverse, but the quality makes up for it.
Just buy from a respectable dealer, and the slabbing problem doesn't come up.
Die crack and air bubbles in the metal ?
Here's a coin in very slightly better condition that sold for €116 at auction a while back:...
I'm sorry, but I don't recognise it. Looks modern.
They tend to sell for the same in VF in the US.
Leave it. It's not in a high enough grade to be worth TPGing, although it is a nice coin.
For the issue, that is a high end VF, and the rim is in pretty good shape. The minor damage to the reverse does need to be taken into account. One...
You possess a relatively worthless modern fabrication, unfortunately.
If it's in VF condition it's worth around $75.
Assuming that it's in AU condition or thereabouts, around $200. I've seen the proof version sell for over $600.
