I like the coin, too, though I'm not really into Morgan dollars. But the more I hear of crazy premiums like that, the more I think @RickO is onto...
Hey, at least it's worth around 12.4 times as much as the original estimate you were given! :p
That's a kind gift. Buy her a potted plant with some flowers on it. Or a box of chocolates or something.
Great find! I've never seen that sesquicentennial medal before. Judging from the prices on those dimes in the 2x2s, it wasn't put away that long...
Now just crop out the excess white space, if you can. Those are perfectly serviceable images, though. Quite good for cellphone shots....
No, those are frightfully expensive, aren't they? This one caught my eye. Of course at this stage I know nothing about them. India, Chitaldrug,...
Which makes it unsurprising that an Englishman would have designed their coins, I suppose. It goes without saying that the Blakelys were quite...
I'm not sure why the two different dates. (I didn't look it up in the D&H book I linked to.) Some pieces did have two dates. One was often the...
Yes, this is the right forum to post such things. Your images are rather hard to see because they are thumbnail sized, and even when one clicks...

Intriguing find.
That is indeed interesting. Some folks have too much time on their hands, and I salute those folks. LOL Interesting to me is how it shows the...
This is a condor. [IMG] Your piece is a Conder token. ;) @daveydempsey identified it for you in the other thread on the Error Coins forum...
As mentioned, it is an 18th century British provincial token, commonly referred to as a "Conder" token. The standard reference on these is the...
Sound advice, but most novices are not going to know how how to sort World coins by country, and even seasoned collectors get some...
BTW, here is what a Mint State example of the type looks like. (Not my coin, but I've had some.) Nice looking design, huh? [IMG]
This one is at least real. It is a British large penny of King Edward VII, son of Queen Victoria, who came to the throne rather late in life,...
Titus always looks so stern, doesn't he? He and Galba were fierce looking. Oh, and Nerva, too. Nerva's always rather grumpy looking. Not to...
