I am curious to see if the US mints(s) struck coinage bearing "USA" on them for use in any other countries/territories/possesions besides the...
Ah, you mean the half Cent 1793. In fact, all half cents of 1793 were designed with the bust facing left. This was then modified for all half...
Black Friar, thank you for posting those beautiful Conder tokens. They are really very nice and in amazing condition! Those are some nice half...
Thank you, buckeye73. Yes, I only recently joined EAC, although I have collected early US coins for the last 30+ years. EAC is a treasure trove...
That is an interesting idea - something else to try!
I tried a few with a black background, but they turned out really bad. I was not able to find a dark black, matte, non-reflective background so...
A few more, a couple with a red background: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some group pictures I took years ago of some of my early coppers. The color and definition are as good as I could achieve with my low-tech,...
It's is an interesting question you are asking, Marshall: what is the value of that S-39? It is a very rare cent, no question about that. It has...
Marshall, may I ask: are you are member of EAC? I am sure members there would like to know about this new discovery.
Congratulations, Marshall! Well deserved recognition for the expertise (and perseverance) you have so often demonstrated in the area of large...
Thank you for posting you Venus denarius, TTerrier, and for the discussion on the dating. I confess I have never paid much attention to the dating...
Well done, CBD! I hope to cherry-pick one of these one day.
Does this variety not have the die chip above the 8? I can't see it on CBD's coin. I thought this was supposed to be a marker for all 1858/7's?
I was also hoping to see a '36 with reeded edge.....;). But, the 1815 makes up for it. Beautiful coin. BTW, which is actually scarcer, the 1815...
Following a specific theme may be an idea for a German Taler collection. One theme that I like are the city-view Talers. Coinage portraying views...
Great find! Interesting how Galba denarii are almost never found. I found 2 Vitellius but never a Galba, either.
I can let you have my 2016 AKS (31. Auflage) if you want (free of course). I have the 2018, but frankly, not much difference as prices really do...
I wish you lots of fun with Talers! German coinage from the 1800's in general was my first collecting passion, and I still have quite a number of...
I forgot to mention the 'Standard catalogue of German Coins', 1501- Present, compiled by N.D Nicol. Published by KP (?). This is a very...
