I agree that it has an "off" look overall. The reverse in particular looks strange. But it could be the photos. If you have a scale, try to weigh...
I used to bring wads of change to my bank and they would just dump it all in a machine that would count it and credit my account. Have you checked...
Interesting experiment. I'm not absolutely sure that the obverse and reverse are the same coin, based on the photographs alone. I also have no...
Though this thread originated in 2018, it's still very relevant for everyone on this forum, namely, if it's worth counterfeiting a 2018 AME then...
It's difficult to describe the feeling of looking at a coin and seeing a non-clad, purely silver edge. Not to mention a stack of them. Yum.
I see the gold Reiwa coin selling on Ebay between $1,400 - $2,000. Yikes. That's more than I would want to spend, regardless of the quality of the...
This is one of the nicest 1/2 Sens I've ever seen (although I'm sure nicer ones exist). As usual, pictures don't do it justice. It glows with full...
Fantastic Edward the Confessor coins! Wow! Whether or not he actually made the same promise to bequeath the crown to both Harold Godwinson and...
Anything I no longer deem special I try to sell. I just unloaded a bunch of stuff on Ebay that no longer really honked my kazoo. Impulse buys show...

Nice coin! Hammered coins are almost always fantastic historically and numismatically. The mark above the pinnacle of the crown is the mint mark...
$140.00 for 2 ounces of fancy silver? Yikes. The US Mint is starting to learn from their marketing-savvy neighbors up north.
Below is the furthest that I go back with US coinage: 1794 - I have no Revolutionary or early Federal issues. Yet when this coin was struck,...
The closest I come to the ideal above is an NGC/CAC MS 67 FB 1942-D Mercury Dime, which happens to be one of my favorite designs as well. [IMG]...
Japan's commemoratives differ from US commemoratives in two very distinct ways: Japan seems to have the sense to not make too many commemoratives...
My cousin's wife actually drove the Wiener mobile for a while some years ago. She says it's always a conversation starter no matter where she is...
Like many people here, I also succumbed to the hoarder mentality. After a number of years of buying things that stimulated my brain's pleasure...
I am suspicious of manufactured collectables such as the "American Innovator" series. Others have already mentioned the "collector's malaise" that...
