Mostly yes, some were minted at the Royal Canadian mint though.
Some coins from Panama were also made this way.
It didn't happen with rare gold coins when gold went from $300 to over $1,900 per ounce in a relatively short time. Doubt it will happen with any...
The details look just fine, but with something of this value, you want to be extra careful about modern re-strikes. Laser cut dies can replicate...
Depends on the eye appeal. I would say $30 is a fair price for an average "XF ish" example of this early Ceylon coin. A nice, solid XF would be at...
It's a stock photo of a proof cent. They are selling feedback.

That makes sense. I'm not knowledgeable on ancient coins or practices, so I was speaking generally of how brothel tokens are used (not that I've...
Tokens are kind of funny when it comes to value. You can have one of which there are 5 to 10 pieces known and it'll be worth under $20. I can't...

Like Kasia described, honesty is a relevant term. In my experience buying coins, few dealers actually tell lies. Most simply lie via omission. If...
Man, I'd hate to think what you would find in a Roman brothel. And all you'd have for protection is half of a gutted-out lemon. :eek:
Thanks for the comparison pic. On my coin the portrait has a bulging Adam's apple, so it's not Queen Vickie, it's just some old-timey dude in...
I don't know where they minted them, but the weights for the large 1 cent coins were pretty regular all the way into the 1900's. It's also a crude...
Thanks guys. From what I can gather of how it was made, it appear to be a relatively fine casting with the beads in the fields being a design...
Lol. Plastic + a sprinkling of lead. :eek:
I've wanted to ask you that several times. :T$:
I'm guessing close to 2x bullion value.
