In the picture it's easy because they are in alphabetical order. On a cent it would be harder, but it appears the stamps are precise enough to...
Someone playing with the acid commonly used to bring back the date on buffalo nickels might well keep playing until the weight reached exactly...
I suspect you could get that effect of the reverse mushy with a strong obverse by several means. If the obverse were coated with oil or wax...
Thanks. I always wonder a little on eBay. I once thought I would be able to tell a fake, but then I started seeing all the treads on CT that...
My poor Hadrian as is green with envy. (I just hope it is genuine. Got it on eBay back in 2004.)[ATTACH] [ATTACH] And also a worn denarius,...
That's what it looks like to me. It's hard to imagine what circulated Jefferson would merit such care, but perhaps the person was looking to...
The brass brush mentioned above will not scratch the bronze (assuming it is good quality bronze), but I would think it might easily remove any...

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
I bought this out of a batch of loose ancients at a local coin show several years ago. I think it is Ptolemy II or III, but I cannot tell for...
I looked at the listing on eBay, then looked at his feedback, as far as the first negative. Most of his sales were books rather than coins, and...
In my amateur opinion, both ideas are correct. There definitely is a column. Consider both the base and top of the column. But there is also...
I am no expert, closer to a novice in this area. But it appears the obverse is clearly a "poor man's doubled die," and not a very strong one, and...
Thanks! I enjoyed reading that!
Just think, if the mint had gone with this design, there never would have been any FS designation or arguments over whether it was or wasn't FS.
Entry post. 1 2 4 5 7 4 3. Thanks for the giveaway! This is not a great treasure, but it is my most recent purchase. Got it for 20 cents in a...
