This was fun. So let's do it again! :)
Same rules for this giveaway as last time. To enter, you will need to do two things: Post a new thread of your own in this forum about a World...
Me, too. It is funny how LIBERTY remained intact over that void, as I said before, but I suppose that could happen in some kind of "acidic" scenario.
I'm no error specialist, though I've owned a few pieces. I've dabbled in a lot of different stuff across a pretty wide spectrum (World, Ancient,...
Ha! I was right. It was Long John Silver's parrot that said, "Pieces of Eight! Pieces of Eight!" :D [MEDIA]
Aha. You're online. You were quoting my last post as I was editing and tinkering with it. :) Yep. Ebay archives.
Do a search on eBay for completed auctions where El Cazador 8-reales pieces have sold (not just ended, but actually sold). Take into account how...
For the record, as has been dramatically proven before, I know nothing of Overton varieties. So that did not enter at all into my considerations...
Indeed. No bargain-basement price, there. It is a very special engraved piece, and as such should be worth a premium, but it isn't "$495.00...
OMG, Panzerman - you KILL me with this stuff! WOW. So it's ancient Rome to me? Might as well get my "Capricorn" denarius out of the way, since...
I gave you links to the NGC/KM price guide above. Yes, the mints of larger, developed nations have a long history of striking the coins of...
Bertha W. Shaver, then. Interesting. It sure looks like the middle initial is a "V" in the coin, though I suppose I that could be an engraving...
Thank you so much for adding that, @davidh. I don't know why the Shavers eluded my own findagrave searches. Perhaps I forgot to look, or was...
It could be some kind of acid damage or corrosion that happened prior to the strike, which would count as a minor error ("planchet flaw") rather...
Yes, it is no coincidence that Panama's coinage has ties to the USA. High silver content? No, not in these 1966 and later pieces. They are...
1/10 Balboa, KM10 type (1966-93) 1/4 Balboa, KM11.2 type (1966-93)
The DECIMO is a dime. Literally 1/10 of a Balboa. The QVARTO (quarto) is a quarter. 1/4 of a Balboa. I normally would not make such outright...
I had initially thought PMD (corrosion or acid etching - and that still might be the case), but seeing how intact LIBERTY remains above that void...
"Doubloon" more often refers to the gold denominations. This is a silver 8-reales piece, so the more correct popular term here would be "piece of...
Separate names with a comma.
