This link attempts an answer to that query. Is it correct? I have no idea. I have noticed when I've traveled to South America and parts of...
I'm really different from others here. I like the rounder types that circulate, or circulated, in monetary units.
I have heard that 令和元年, or "First year of Reiwa" coins will come out later this year. Similarly dated coins were issued when Hirohito died (as you...
Yes, you're right - that's a "6" not a "4" - that's what I get for hurrying. So it should be the 63rd year of Meiji, which is 1988, one year...
I try not to think about shield pennies... or cents... whichever way, I try not to waste neurons on them...
I agree with the "if you buy a problem coin then you have two problems" camp. Save a little more money for a nicer specimen. I'm guessing that the...
There it is! 昭和六十三年 or the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Showa (Hirohito) or 1968.
I really like this series, but I haven't purchased a single one. It's strange, every year I look forward to the design and every year I promise to...
That's actually the same side showing in the first photo. The date is right below the "10" on the reverse.
The Asian coin with a 10 on the back is a Japanese 10 Yen coin. The side with the date isn't showing in the picture, but these have been minted...
1881-S Morgy - NGC MS65 [IMG] [IMG]
That was awesome! I do wonder if it really dates to 1907. For some reason it seems a little later than that to me, but I didn't see any dates and...
Wow - I haven't heard the words "First Day Covers" for what seems like decades. They used to be a pretty big deal and I think I still have a small...
Here are my nicest Abe head cents - both graded MS66. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here is my nicest "Liberty wearing a headdress" cent, purchased years ago. I don't have enough of these. [IMG] [IMG]
Another beautifully mutilated coin... but this time a quarter! I usually only see cents. I love it! Thanks for posting!
I agree that it has an "off" look overall. The reverse in particular looks strange. But it could be the photos. If you have a scale, try to weigh...
I used to bring wads of change to my bank and they would just dump it all in a machine that would count it and credit my account. Have you checked...
Interesting experiment. I'm not absolutely sure that the obverse and reverse are the same coin, based on the photographs alone. I also have no...
Though this thread originated in 2018, it's still very relevant for everyone on this forum, namely, if it's worth counterfeiting a 2018 AME then...
Separate names with a comma.
