That 12-S would look amazing in a Dansco. Great buy!
From what I have heard Brazil used whatever crown-sized coins they could get to strike these 960 Reis overstrikes. Most were 8 Reales, but other...
Coin A is clearly an early Wheat Cent. Rim thickness is a dead giveaway. Coin B is an earlier date Zincoln, judging by zinc rot and overall...
Or an authentic $50 California slug?
Congrats on the weight loss and congrats on this beautiful early piece. Worth saving up to get that wing and hair detail for sure. Wonderful color...
NGC VarietyPlus is a great resource.
From my rather limited experience, I'm going to hazard a guess at this being a rather mishandled throughout the years Proof.
From time to time you can get the odd pre-1925 SLQ in junk silver with some of the date showing. I have a 1920 and 1924 currently... got a 20-S...
Nice 1927-S SLQs! SLQs aren't my main area of interest but from what I know - this date has been the subject of quite some hoarding in AG-VG...
1852 Over Inverted Date. Little-known but VERY rare date punch blunder.
That's a FUN looking junk box! Unfortunately the only coin shop here in my college town doesn't have one... real experienced, high-level dealer,...
Another thing with these older mirror proofs (before 1971) - not many of them left the mint with Cameo strikes (frosted devices and mirror...
Good call. This forum is an archive of coin discussions going back two decades, and Ebay links eventually die out, losing the pics forever if not...
Hopefully I can squeeze in one last entry post. I'll go with Ancient/Medieval. Again, thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Second this. This would be a good learning opportunity to find out about the Mint process, particularly the planchet, die, and strike, and all the...
Probably grades out at 63RB. 1909 VDBs were hoarded extensively and are very very common in UNC - gotta be at least 65RB or 64RD to be worth...
I once got three or four Ikes from a bank for face value but never anything like that. Congrats on the two I'd presume Peace Dollars - those...
Fake, and not a good one. Looks like a cast counterfeit and lettering is way off from a real piece. Possibly a tourist trinket?
Wonder how long this piece was in circulation for.
Yup... once bought a 1941 Merc off Ebay for $7 that I could swear was the DDO... I receive the coin in hand, it's a cleaned AU and not the DDO.
