It should retone nicely over time.
On at least one occasion (maybe two), I found an example of that first type with the US Mint building in bulk lots.
It's crazy how often fake Spanish cobs are found on beaches. How? Why? But it happens. Somebody brought me one that had been found on the...
That's not a medal, it's a manhole cover! :hilarious:
Liberty was also a featured personification on Roman coins. Here is an As of Claudius (41-54 AD), with a Liberty (Libertas) reverse. This one...
With the third-lowest mintage in the series, the 1938-D is one of the key dates for the Walking Liberty half dollar type. This is one of the few...
I know, it's tough. Especially on CNG. I've got a bid out in the current CNG auction that I'm crossing my fingers on. So far I'm still on top...

What's my wife got to do with anything here? o_O:shifty:
I agree with @cwart. I don't know about the authenticity, but the graffiti and polishing would have made me steer well clear of it. But since...
Nicely done. I knew it was 18th century, but was thinking French. There was so very little to go on with this. I think you're right, based on...
Make your own what? Coin holders? Why? Just buy some. Homemade coin holders are trash. (I say this from experience- back in '76 when I was a...
I collected them all from circulation a few years ago. Just did the type set (one per state). Didn't worry about getting all the different P-...
I'm exactly in the same boat. I had very acute near vision when younger, but by my 40s, I had to start wearing reading glasses (which I still...
