Here's a big sister / little sister take on that particular coin type. [IMG] [IMG] My two are a little bit older, hence there's more wrinkles...
Sorry to have to tell you this mate but if you keep on going like that you'll be collecting silver jetons within the next two years.... max. It's...
I remember your Stephen penny from previous correspondence. It's a cracker (and the portrait is obvious when you know what you are looking for...
The main reason David's coins are so scarce is that they were usually cut in half and quarters for use as halfpennies and farthings. It is far...
Try under Straits Settlements (Malasia) KM3 ;) One of my favourites in that I have an 1845ww in about EF condition that I bought from a dealers...
Good for you! These coins are becoming as scarce as hen's teeth and those in the VF+ range are even scarcer!:) You should be aware that i've...
In short...yes. There were four distinct issues of .925 pennies involving the following mints (although not all were involved with each issue):...
tghe coin is a perfect match for Austria KM2804 1 Corona (Monetary Reform period 1892-1918).. It's .835 silver with an actual silver weight of...

Soaking it in olive oil is going to do nothing but leave a slick on the coin that will then need chemicals such as acetone or whatever to remove...
That would have been a cracker to have as part of your 1780's type set {1780's? did I just say 1780's? lol!!}.
Hi Mike, I noted (with due caution) that `purists' would consider the coin to have been butchered. I didn't say that the item in question is...
I haven't come across one that has had `inlay' work like the one you have. Makes me wonder how they managed to do it with what little tools they...
Indeed. It's a cracker. Me likes, but Valezina's description has left me puzzled! :)
Hi Valezina. I'm having a little difficulty with your description. You say the hat and pipe stand proud of the surface by .5mm yet go on to say...
The 1937 crown has a total mintage of 445,000. That's 3 1/2 times as many as the Cecil Rhodes crown's 125,500. Perhaps the collecting life...
