Nice post, interesting read. Thanks for sharing. Now a new gold rush will descend on Kalgoorlie, but if you do, you better like being 1600 feet...
Or the perp was dyslexic. Thread is almost a year old, but the coin looks like just wear and damage. Spark
The pic shows a small date and a weight, what we don't know is if the scale was erroneous or calibrated correctly. The coin looks like a...
Great stuff, Mr. Pappas...just the sort of help needed to clarify for them...Spark
Kentucky nailed it both coins. The 55 cent was in a recent post that said it was die deterioration doubling on that second 5...Spark
Copyright page shows 1991, that explains it, for 4th edition. I bought mine in 2015 thinking this edition was all-inclusive. I have approx. 25...
Is this the VAM known as the "Buffed Wreath" aka "Buffed Reverse"? I have a 4th Edition VAM Encyclopedia but all they have listed is 1, 1A and 1B...

@caristeele ...Obviously you cannot or should not try to save/collect every coin you have there. 95% are going to never be worth more than face...
"Extra thickness" doubling is doubly (pun intended) hard to discern because you are comparing all the time for every detail on the coin. Each...
Several requests for an obverse pic....please and thank you. Seems the consensus is the coin is fake from just the reverse, now I'm curious about...
Neil, can you not tell that contact marks are occluding the bottom 5 steps? The coin is nice, but not worth slabbing, and no where near full...
So the secret no one is talking about is the cost. Coin World doesn't list the price, but maybe that's because the Mint doesn't put a price tag...
Sometimes you can only post about what you know, when you know it, and this is what I have both found out and not found out... I don't know why...
The 1983 2P NEW PENCE error was listed 17 months ago (22Mar17) selling for £1,698. This is a far cry less valuable than the 1971 2P NEW PENCE,...
