ENTRY POST / Cat. B - all the best!
Strictly speaking, neither are errors - the Brazilian coin displays die deterioration doubling, and the Belgian coin is an overdate. Both are...
looks to me to be damage, as if caused by a cheap eraser.
The 1896G is a lower mintage date in the series - I will have to disagree with the above, and say that 200k can be a low mintage date for some of...
From what I understand (and I am more than willing to be corrected should someone know otherwise), these were struck at Rome using a single set of...
Thank you for confirming what I had previously stated.
That is die deterioration, vvveeerrryyy common on more recent RM coins. Nothing special here, I am afraid.

These are both wrong, in my opinion... the reeding on both looks wrong, and the devices on both are off. I think that the TPG made the right call...
It is wrong - lack of detail, and distorted devices. STAY AWAY.
Without seeing the coins you submitted, your post is pretty much meaningless. As was mentioned, fakes of Chinese provincials were produced...
Although the photos are poor, I would go for a planchet flaw - I have handled many similar, as the alloys were poorly mixed in this period. To...
The photos are too poor to say with any certainty, but it just looks semi-toned. If it is gold in hand, as Sal said, almost certainly plated as a...
As a dealer, one of my specializations is Russian coinage, and has been for many years. The market at the moment is quite depressed versus what it...
It would appear to be a slightly mis-aligned obverse die.
It is a 1624 Ort, or 1/4 Thaler, as Wladyslawa#249, or https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/poland-ort-km-37-1628-cuid-1094572-duid-1551169...
