I'd say VF-20 .. some jewels in the crown still there.
I thought that pickings were a little slim for individual city-states after the 1880's-90's. I thought that there were only a handful into the...
It looks like the coin was assaulted in a dark alley. I give lots of old worthless large cents away to friends to use as golf ball markers on the...
Looks like a little machine/mechanical doubling. Also lots of repunched final digits in the Ed series.
Nice '92 Obv 4.
That's a fairly common variety with the first 3 digits very slightly doubled. I also think that I see a little wear in the tufts around the ear...
I see nothing either.
It most definitely NOT a far date, not even close. In 1896, the last digit was handpunched into each working die. As such, there are as many...

Use hawthorn thorns from a tree rather than .. it has thousands of them free for the taking. They are from 1" to 3" long, extremely sharp and...
The good thing about Eds and Geos is that most can be had, in lower MS, for well less than $25 ... some even less than $10. Canadian Large Cents...
For the 1922's, they look the same size to me .. just that one is infinitely more worn than the other. The design elements (including the date)...
Go to the CCF site (Coin Community) and look for the 1929 cent threads .. lots of discussions on hi & low 9's
The 1859 LC above is not brass. It has been harshly chemically cleaned and it turns the bronze all kinds of odd colors. Any number of...
A good number of the"special" coins that the Canadian RCM puts out every year certainly fit in this category .. they have become a granny bait and...
