That's an interesting one. I thought it was a coin at first glance but it looks like it's a gold medal. If it is, it's worth it's gold bullion...
Before you do anything, if any coins looks "dusty" or dirty, always ask advice and don't attempt to clean it unless we specifically tell you to do...
Doug, does that mean that whatever that wasn't sold must return back to the recycling pot or the mint only strikes them when there is a demand for...
Yes, have it weighted although I'm suspecting it has some copper "plating" on it. Not too difficult to do when you wash copper coins together with...
Does the price factor in the weakening of the USD against other major currencies?
Currently this is under investigation but this is one particular coin that has the potential to wreck everything known: [img] 1795/88 MM 1...
This is a forum, not a chat room so it's slow to response ;) I'm often available as gxseries at irc.rizon.net (that is if you know what irc is)

Appearently either people refuse to admit that they are bad in rounding figures and do require more practise in mathematics or just being ignorant...
Unless there is an overhaul of the current coinage, I don't quite see why they would massively melt down such coins. However though, it's not...
There is one field that I am investigating that is overstruck coins. With just one reference book, I have found very interesting overstruck coins,...
A couple of years ago in Canberra, Australia, a mint worker smuggled some 150,000+ dollars of 2 dollars coins (no joke about the figure) outside...
Not really an error but an interesting die crack. Not very common on proof coins so that's pretty interesting.
From the looks of it, I don't think it's European so I'm guessing somewhere from Latin or South America...
Sadly, yellowish color on various coins are used to describe as "gold". I'll admit, as a kid, I really couldn't tell the difference between gold,...
