I was hoping someone could help with this Chinese cash coin. I tried some online diagnostic sites but can’t figure it out. It is thicker and...
I’d love to learn more about this “birthday” medal I recently acquired as pet of an estate collection. It is in beautiful shape. I can’t find a...

I’ve been helping my son work his way through his US type set for the last five or six years. It’s been lots of fun and has served as the real...
The man from whom I purchased the collection said his father had collected for years. It’s a wonderful lot, for sure.
Looks like a science project!
I purchased a moderately small collection that had some beautiful pieces in it. It had laid untouched for about 50 years. I was very fortunate to...
Hey folks. There seemed to be some interest in these on the 1873 thread I started yesterday so I decided to take some petter photos, drop them...
I’m about to post a fresh thread with photos of the better coins from the collection. Feel free to mosey over and take a look!

I am so terrible at identifying such things…any input would help. I also have an 1898 with a goofy possible overdate on the 9…anything there?...
Please explain. Acetone is safe for treating coins and only removes surface contamination/dirt/residue. It does not effect the composition of the...
Also, I found a dealer submission to piggyback on so she’s going out for grading tomorrow. Feel free to hazard a guess if you’d like. This will be...
I did not pay “tin can” prices for it but I also didn’t pay AU prices for it either.
I have never sent notes in for grading. How is the process? Is it as painfully slow and expensive as sending coins to PCGS or NGC? Any advice...
I found a submission to piggyback on, so if folks want to guess the grade, let’s do it!
Did a quick acetone soak to see if I could remedy the dark spot on her cheek. It appears to have worked. Amazing thing is that the coin spent the...
