Old copper, still one of my favourite areas in U.S Numismatics. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I have admired these impressive coins for many years, and yours is a truly nice example. As you have said, it was a serious financial step to...
Thank you, Mat. These are my favourite Latin American coins.
The Chilean Volcano and Condor Breaking Chains types were the first coins of the Chilean Republic after gaining independence from Spain in 1817....

Copper has always been the most difficult for me and particularly frustrating being an EAC collector. I have tried many things, cameras, lighting...

If I want to know approximately what a coin would bring at auction I consult a combination of Heritage Archives, PCGS prizes realised, and, (for...
