For comparison, or curiosity, NGC graded this 1881-S Morgan of mine MS65. [IMG] [IMG]
I will forever keep this horrifically mangled Lincoln cent because I love it. Someone in my wife's family, perhaps her late father, just mutilated...
I think the US Mint did an excellent job with the Apollo 11 commemorative. I actually bought one. [IMG] [IMG]
They are very likely replicas and they have that "replica look." I think your instincts are correct. However, they appear to be pretty decent...
This link attempts an answer to that query. Is it correct? I have no idea. I have noticed when I've traveled to South America and parts of...
I'm really different from others here. I like the rounder types that circulate, or circulated, in monetary units.
I have heard that 令和元年, or "First year of Reiwa" coins will come out later this year. Similarly dated coins were issued when Hirohito died (as you...
Yes, you're right - that's a "6" not a "4" - that's what I get for hurrying. So it should be the 63rd year of Meiji, which is 1988, one year...
I try not to think about shield pennies... or cents... whichever way, I try not to waste neurons on them...
I agree with the "if you buy a problem coin then you have two problems" camp. Save a little more money for a nicer specimen. I'm guessing that the...
There it is! 昭和六十三年 or the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Showa (Hirohito) or 1968.
I really like this series, but I haven't purchased a single one. It's strange, every year I look forward to the design and every year I promise to...
That's actually the same side showing in the first photo. The date is right below the "10" on the reverse.
The Asian coin with a 10 on the back is a Japanese 10 Yen coin. The side with the date isn't showing in the picture, but these have been minted...

That was awesome! I do wonder if it really dates to 1907. For some reason it seems a little later than that to me, but I didn't see any dates and...
Wow - I haven't heard the words "First Day Covers" for what seems like decades. They used to be a pretty big deal and I think I still have a small...
Here are my nicest Abe head cents - both graded MS66. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here is my nicest "Liberty wearing a headdress" cent, purchased years ago. I don't have enough of these. [IMG] [IMG]
Another beautifully mutilated coin... but this time a quarter! I usually only see cents. I love it! Thanks for posting!
