Very nice, looks like a well struck example.
I'm working on seated dimes, I like the design variety. I don't have much hope of getting together even 50% of a 'complete' collection, so I just...
My bad, he does show both sides, they are quite similar. I would place it as 1840-1860's Ottoman Egypt due to the edge design, but it should have...
This coin was purchased from a well-known coin auction firm that has done business for many years. I chose that route specifically for the reason...
I bid on several of these this year before winning this one a few days ago. Philip V 8 reale minted in Mexico City 1737, assayers MF (Manuel de...

There exist eBay vendors who deserve some praise. Purchase of mine arrived in the mail today, heard a clinking sound in the envelope and my first...
I'll be there tomorrow (thurs) and perhaps Fri.
I've been trying out Coin Manage for about a month now, trial version. As stated above it does have some good flexibility when creating sets for...
Is the coin in that slab fake as well or just incorrectly graded? If that can be determined from the photo. I see that NGC has slabbed 7 of...
That was an amazing read! Thanks Clinker.
I've gone twice this year, didn't find prices especially great but bargained down everything I bought and found coins I had been unable to acquire...
While it seems that dollar coins are still confusing and repulsing cashiers across the US, there is a place where they get good use. A South...
