With the recent addition of Galba, my second Twelve Caesars set is now 75% towards completion. I now need Julius Caesar, Caligula, and Vitellius....
Sharp! These little Peruvians were very nicely made. Nice design, too. I had a 1900 half-dinero in PCGS MS67, which was very prooflike and also...
Sounds quite reasonable to me.
Interesting.
This. Maybe that's a die crack (I can't really tell), but the coin is so corroded it's a moot point. I'm afraid that one's only worth face value...
Nice white lusterbomb, there! I opted for a 1944 Merc for my type coin, as well- it was my mother's birthyear. [IMG]

I knew some of those O-mint Barber dimes were tough, but never having collected that series by date, I wasn't fully aware of just what kind of...
@Tall Paul posted his winner's receipt (in Giveaway #111, for some reason), so I'm locking this one down for the archives.
I started in '76, so I too learned my foundation in grading from the old B&D (Brown & Dunn) book. And so yes, I also looked at the full LIBERTY...
I guess so, if you want…
That’s a nice looking proof V-Nick in your avatar. I was wondering if they rated it Cameo or DCAM. Then I noticed the 1882 date. So apparently...
I like that one. 19th century?
