That one is worth one cent as-is.
That's a wonderful piece.
Yes, you're right. Usually it was underneath the mast. But I've heard of them being nailed to the mast, as well. I suspect both were true,...
It is a matter of personal taste. I suppose some people find them distracting. I do think those people are in the minority. Most find them...
While it's true the UK has used rampant lions and (in the past) a fleur-de-lis in their various royal and national emblems, both of those symbols...
A little bit, but it's not. It's definitely Venezuela. No horse or cornucopias in the Dominican Republic's coat of arms. No book or cross in...
True 'dat. Dem Coca-Cola peoples will pay all kinds of money for that stuff! (Probably not so much for the example I pictured above though, ya...
I like it! (I like Joe Walsh, too.) Here was my example of a Domitian/Minerva, from my old 12 Caesars set. It was a nice bright coin. [IMG]

Nope. 'Fraid neither of these are worth anything, except that they got you interested. That's something, anyway, right? Keep on lookin', and...

Wow, that cloud chariot is terrific! So much going on, there! Gives me a slight pang of seller's remorse for one of my Eclectic Box pieces I let...
That one's also been machined, but in a different way. The rim has been squashed down. It got rolled through some piece of machinery. Some...
Is the bow tie doubled, is that what you mean? Looks like a typical 1993-D Lincoln cent to me.
I didn't see it at first, but can (barely) see it now. My only guess would be that it may be some remaining trace of the coin's original...
This is a good question, and it is difficult to answer in an easily explainable way. All 1921 Peace dollars were struck in high relief, while...
I'm not sure what a " ^$/¥£₩÷" is. LOL. ;) It's been machined, for some reason, with a lathe or similar piece of equipment. This is PMD...
This. Sorry, but the coin in the OP is a crude modern fake. It's not even a novodel.
