A couple of really little things I picked up lately. The Katanga copper franc gets me started on my collection of circulated coins issued by...
Even the Nazi coins didn't have swastikas until the late 30s IIRC... at least the "silver crown" type coins.
Thanks... Though actually, I don't see any proofs listed there from any year/mintage. Here is the NGC population report:...
Well, two votes but no consensus. If it is a proof, it's being sold way below value.
As a fellow newb, I hate harshly cleaned surfaces with lots of hairlines and just don't buy them (for anything more than melt). But a lightly...
NGC says 100 proofs were minted, but Numista doesn't have it.
Trying to learn here... It looks PRCAM to me, but what do I know?[ATTACH]
Looked these up on the 'bay. Yeah... I won't be buying any time soon. Another for the "some day" wishlist. :)

Finally, here is the 1935-S. I bought this from my LCS, and way overpaid for it ($35). It was listed as fine, but I think it's VF. I was hoping to...
I don't yet have the 1924-S (a bit of a challenge in higher grades), the 1925, the 1925-S, or the 1926. The next I have is the 1926-D, but I'm...
You could try an acetone rinse (search this forum for instructions) to remove the grime, but if it's actually just the toning and tarnishing of...
My favorite of these is the far right.
Very cool. Would be great to have some collector participation too. We also benefit if the hobby grows!
Thanks... I don't want to be a "BLAST WHITE!!" troglodyte, but the fact is that ugly toning can get in the way of the enjoyment of a coin.
Thanks for the input... I'm truly undecided, but this makes me lean more toward the first.
Entry post - Somalia 100 shillings. Fun thing: I've started a collection of coins from self-declared, unrecognized states. Got a 1 Franc coin...
