I only see one 1944 design for the 1 Gulden acorn privy coin. I see that there's a different design for the previous years in, say, the 1930's...
Well, I found some info, the US Mint created 105,125,000 Guldens for the Netherlands. [ATTACH] And, under the US's Lend-Lease Act, we provided...
Thanks, that's very interesting. So, the small number that was introduced into circulation also applies to the 1944 year. My confusion, however,...
I recently viewed an auction listing for an Ancient Greek coin, which appears to have been overstruck (image and link below). I'm unsure of what...
Yeah, it probably wouldn't make sense to have that much wear only on the rim. Maybe the proof dies were recycled and used for business strikes,...
Is this 1922 Peace dollar a regular strike or a special variety strike? The surface looks different and it doesn't look like the high relief and...
Does anyone know? Maybe this should be in the World Coins forum lol. Can a mod please move this over there if it needs to be there?
Ok, before I get tempted to cut into it, does anyone want to buy it off of me? lol Otherwise, my curiosity might do something to it... I'll sell...
I don't get why the 1944 P Netherlands Gulden coin demands the dollar figure it does. It's got an acorn privy with a "P" to signify that it was...
Yeah, definitely fake. The letters don't line up. Blobby letters and devices are seen. Thanks all!
Yeah I think it's fake. I can't find the variety and I get a hunch that it's no good. Thanks for the replies!
Is this 1798 Draped Bust Dollar authentic? I'm not too familiar with early US coins as far as varieties are concerned. The reverse is different...
This particular Stalin coin is 50% silver, 14 grams total (7 grams silver), and is 31mm. It's practically the same size as a US half dollar, which...
If you're interested, that Stalin coin is a 1949 Czechoslovakia 100 Korun silver coin. So, not exactly a USSR coin but an Eastern European...
Thanks for that info and foresight into how much work it'll require, and possibly making it less presentable lol. I'll probably refrain from it...
If I'm going to leave it as-is, I'm thinking of cutting it to an equilateral octagon shape instead of the non-equilateral pentagon shape that it...
I'm thinking of doing a WWII figurehead collection. This is a Czechoslovakian coin but it's silver and has a bust of Stalin on it. The condition...
I found one of the nicer bullion designs for a 1 oz silver "round" (octagon), and is about 1/8" thick. It has the Liberty Bell on the obverse...
Here's a 1908 Philippines Peso minted at San Francisco. It's very difficult to make out any original luster. Yet there's a considerable amount of...
Oh yes, there's a prooflike version that shows up on NGC's page. It has an edge inscription.
