I agree with this completely. No way to tell for sure, but from the photo nothing looks unusual. I would simply leave it alone and enjoy it.
Just as a background sir, but cash coins, like this one I believe is resembling, never had reeded edges. Just another indication this was probably...
Looks like someone punched east Asian characters into a washer. Not a coin.
Just as a follow up. It arrived yesterday in good shape from Germany. Seems like export paperwork taking a long time, but coins being delivered.
Most Crusader coins are either medieval European coins or imitations of Islamic coins of the period. It is nearly impossible to find a true...
I find myself lost in a lot of Turkomen bronzes. The Sayles Spengler books are invaluable. Every type is listed and the iconography explained. If...
Greeks are tough, and much harder for books. The reason why is that Greeks issued way more types than Romans. It really matters WHICH greeks you...

I agree. Their business model, though, kind of demands it. Short of modern ASE's and the like, there is a finite population of coins to be...
Not unexpected as you say considering PCGS has always allowed only PCGS slabs on theirs. I always thought more of NGC, viewing them as more mature...

Good point about post mint, since I would guess 99 percent of toning on coins today was caused post mint. The mint holding silver dollars was an...
Not most from what I saw. Most were blast white, with the ones on the canvas taking the toning hit for the most part. I saw a number of original...
I would love to own more platinum, but the premiums are simply sky high. If I could buy platinum coins near spot, I would probably own 10 ounces....
But they haven't really. If you are talking about Morgans, most were in vaults in bags until the 1950's or 60's. As such, the vast majority only...
I mostly agree, but do believe it can be stopped. However, once toning is on a coin, its much more liable to have MORE toning. So, therefor, its...
You need a dvaravati and Lanna specimen too Anoob. :) Nice collection. Mine is similar.
I agree, but if one looks at historical correlations you do see a trend that PM does not have the same return path as stocks, bonds, or some other...
Separate names with a comma.
