France (Duchy of Lorraine): silver "sword" type demi-gros of Antoine the Good, ca. 1508-1544 [IMG] Presently uncertified; ex- Künker am Dom.
Go by what's in the link. You can just use my quickie impressions as a starting point. ;)
I like this one. :) [IMG]
*sigh* OK, just off the cuff, without consulting the PCGS Photograde link I sent you, here are my quickie impressions: 1890-CC: AU50 details,...
Here, maybe this will help. Scroll to the left to see the circulated grades. While I'm too lazy to offer grades right now, I will say that the...
Double-pocket safety flips are easy to put coins into: no staples, no hassle. Slide the coin into one pocket, fold the flip in half, and you're...
Oh, yes. To me, it's all about the contrasting patina. I love that brassy orichalcum with that appearance.

Except perhaps the day before yesterday, when a certain Orange Bandit (aka Lily Bug) leaped upon the stove in an attempt to steal an entire pork...
Wasn't that big. (But yes, the rays do sorta look like the ones on a Peace dollar.)
The greyish, quarter-sized disc was not, alas, a silver quarter. It was an old 10-cent trade token from the Atlanta Press & Radio Club, which I...
