I'm not familiar with the dating system used by Macedon. The reverse is rotated about 45 degrees clockwise off of coin orientation. The horse &...
The mint is apparently exploring some new alloy options. None are expected to make a significant price difference per nickel, but even a tiny...
Not sure why I picked this piece up. Thought I found a match on Heritage with the doubled 8 on a genuine token, but can't find it again. Did I...
There is no violation of the Hobby Act in that situation. It's like producing a platinum copy of the Morgan Dollar with a 2020 date. There's no...
