Thanks. everybody. Funny that scratch is not obvious in-hand, but you can see it in the picture. I will inspect the coin to see how severe it is....
This was my first major early U.S coin purchase back in 1986. (It took me 32 years to get around to finally taking decent pictures of it....) Let...
This is what Wikipedia (in german) has to say about the origins of the 'Wilder Mann and Wilder Frau': "Der Sage nach entdeckten Bergleute zu...
The appearance is not that bad - based on appearance on the picture alone it could go either way. However, that is a very scarce type for...
The new picture really highlights the details well, Jack. A great find that was!
My "Deutsch Muenzkatalog - 1700-1806 " edition 2008 only lists the Augsburg 10 Kreuzer 1760 only with 'X K'. A variant with '10 K' is not listed....
Very nice token. This Feuchtwanger Token was made in the same year. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks all for your comments. The coin was not a cherry-pick and at $300 certainly not a bargain either. All in all I think it is a nice example...
The 1867/7 arrived today. This is what it really looks like. Quite unlike the sellers photos, I think. I like what I am seeing - a nicely toned...

I think I'll work with that. I should have started by checking the Heritage Archives. That is an invaluable tool:).
Thanks, LordM for your extensive reply. You got me thinking about 'real or not'. I am not really a Capped Quarter collector So to be reassured I...
Thinning down my collection a bit. Will let this 1818 Quarter go. No hairlines as far as I can see, but obviously dipped/cleaned. What do you...
Beautiful examples, all of them. Congratulations! Do you collect primarily Mexico mint, or the other mints as well, ie Lima, Guatemala, Nuevo...
Thanks Oldhoopster. Another one for Brass then. The Red Book that I have lists Copper and Brass specimens, with and without the wreath below the...
Thanks, Conder. I was looking at HA archives this morning which lists 144 sold listings for this token. How do they, or the TPGs for that matter...
Thank you, Pickin and Grinin. It looks more like brass than copper to me as well. However, I have seen large cents which have this brassy color as...
