A Belgian 1944 2-franc piece would be a cool addition to a small subset of steel cents, since the US Mint struck those for Allied-occupied Belgium...
Wheel mark/details grade or not, that's supercool.
It does look like a repunched mintmark. Such things are not my forte- I'm not an error/variety guy, really- but I can see why you'd think there...
Hi, Kevin. First of all, "Gem" describes a choice Mint State coin in about MS65 grade range. Your coin is not Mint State at all- not even close-...
As @paddyman98 mentioned, nickels do not have clad layers. Modern (post-1965) clad coins (dimes, quarters, halves and dollars) have layers of...
It's hard to say from the picture what exactly is going on there. It looks awfully linear to be a plating bubble, but I don't know. This kind of...
PS- that figure standing on the globe is Fortuna, the personification of Luck. In the Wikipedia page about her that I just linked to, it shows...
The last one is definitely Irish, and ca. 1806, as mentioned, but I think it could be a farthing rather than a halfpenny. How big is it? Closer...
I think it's a Denmark/Gluckstadt 1/16 thaler (1/16 Speciedaler), as Aethelred mentioned. Should be KM11, or similar. Here is one on eBay, but...
Best I can do in the tripod department; sorry. ;) [IMG]
@KirkCumberland - Cool type in the OP coin, there. From a very historically important place and time! I bought a really nice example of that...
Modern Hobo carving on a 2015-D Bombay Hook ATB quarter. (Only kinda-sorta relevant to a Washington quarter thread, I guess.) [ATTACH]
Titus does seem to be rather scowly on quite a few coins. Must've been a rather stern chap. The only ones I've seen who appear even more grouchy...
@Stork - you definitely should reimage that beauty! Speaking of Dimitri/SYRACUSIAN from Collectors Universe, you gave me the perfect segue. Not...
Find provenance is ALWAYS cool, and every bit as interesting as a famous collector pedigree would be- maybe even more so. That's a really cool...
That's OK. I logged on to Collectors Universe this morning (for the first time in a month or two), and my new Amazon Fire tablet autocorrected my...
Hong Kong or 1901... [IMG]
In fact, I'll play from my own 1901 and shift us to Canada. So Canada or 1901, to the next player. [IMG] [IMG]
Great Britain or 1901, to the next player. [IMG]
"Spanish mint" was certainly my guess. What a "bullheaded" portrait! Claudius looks like quite a bruiser in the OP coin! Was probably much more...
