Nice! The 1936 looks like the 'high 3' variety.
I would stay well away from those coins.
That one is visible on both. I think the difference here is that of a different lighting angle. The wingtip looks the same. The bars in the...
I remember the thread on this coin. In your description, you say the following: Pahlavi script was used on the coin and the dots you see might...
I would agree that they are the same coin. On the seller's photo it appears that certain areas of pixels have been manipulated to detract the eye...
Those are well made forgeries. But I do see some style differences in the lettering, especially on the N's reverse. Thanks for posting the info.
It would have to be these two girls. [IMG]
It has been my experience that cents and nickels yield the most interesting results. Dimes and quarters are rather lean on silver these days,...
The Clinker award is a great idea, I´ve written in this forum before that he has offered to all of us a great deal of his time and some of the...
Just a heads up for those who are mulling over going to the Summer Seminar, I called ANA today and there are still spaces available, even in the...

For all IHC RPD's from 1900-1909 I use Snow's attribution guide (Vol 6), its the best. It does have some of the better misplaced dates, but if...
Here are some: Belize 1 dollar, 1990 [IMG] Cyprus, 1981, 5 mils [IMG] Hard Times Token, 1841 (reverse) [IMG]
I carry a backpack at shows, I need it because I bring references. I've never been looked at funny for doing so, by security or by dealers. I...
Thanks for looking everyone! No, I cherrypicked this one. The dealer I got it from has been a fairly productive source for unmarked IHC varieties.
Picked this one yesterday from a local dealer. 1908 Indian head cent, Snow-1 (RPD, 9 both north and south). [IMG]
Some experts who I think have provided a lot of guidance are: Non-classical ancients - Wayne Sayles Islamic medieval - Michael Mitchiner, Steve...
