I am usually over on the US Coins Forum since I collect various US series including US Type including Colonial. I have a 1754 1/2 reale, 1773 2...
That is so true. I won this in a Heritage auction January, 2020 for $1920 including the vig. At the time Graysheet was $1600. My coin is...
It's pretty but I don't think better then 64. At that grade, it's about a $200 coin wholesale and $300 retail when it's in a PCGS or NGC slab....
Is that 1.21 grams or grains? I suspect the former but if it's grains that coin is thin to the point of non-existence. If you can find a jeweler...

I assume you are doing your saturation adjustments in a photo editing software application. Are you taking your photos with a camera that has a...
Here's a Barber half from my childhood. And a 1794 cent. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That is perfect. Thanks so much for looking and posting the pages. I am pulling together information to see if I want to make a presentation to...
Happy Birthday. You're doubly blessed.
