Thanks everybody for your comments which were quite helpful and in the correct direction. But alas I did not win the coin, and it sold for a very...
Exactly! I myself was going to suggest a "box dollar" filled with dynamite or TNT but then I saw he was receiving the coin and not giving it out...
Well maybe they have evidence Abe Lincoln had it when he was a young lawyer or something. I'm going to have to look in my box of stuff for old...
I think the Brazilians are preoccupied with their Presidential elections at the moment & haven't replied back to me. I'll try some new ones.
Thanks very much for all the input you guys. This is a type I've been looking for a while and while the horn silver is not nice, it may not...
I don't know about that; in ancient Roman times some were kept as pets -- well kept anyway. In any event keeping one on a chain in the backyard...
I've been looking for a certain Roman period ancient silver coin for some time. They're not super rare, but not super desireable so it tends to...
The company is ex-numis.com I haven't had good results with them. I submitted photos of 10 ancient coins; some of which were a little higher end...
Wow straight XF40? I collect foreign so I'm used to seeing how very critical NGC is of foreign coins made in the 1600 and 1700's: even marking...
Well from the quality of photos it's hard to tell. Normally an 1810 in this grade would be worth $80 or so. However if it is an 1810/ 09, then...
Looks very nice. However, I'd wonder about any mint state Seated Quarter being sold raw these days. Appears to be a very nice grade from the...
Very nice 1810, I recall that these were the 1st year of issue, although patterns were struck dated 1809 in both bronze and silver. Brazilians...
Thanks for the comments. Very nice Escudo of Cuzco, Peru, 1840-A. I should add that I like this design very much --perhaps due to never finding a...
Well not too experienced on these but I'm going to guess somewheres in the VF range: maybe a 20 or 25? A very nice piece to stick in a Walking...
I believe I have one here & will try to link to the tread on CT with the photo. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-love-big-copper.287898/page-6...
In "rarer foreign" I'm happy with 62's as the NGC graders are sometimes clueless or deduct for mint flaws when nobody in the entire country was...
I like the "unc details" guess. Without a better photo or the coin in hand, it's impossible to tell. Spot traces reverse indicates sumthin's...
Well it depends on the surfaces which are hard to tell from the photo. The cud, obverse is mint produced and shouldn't detract from the grade....
Mentioning that I collect Ancients + Latin American & Brazil, I'm going to throw in my 2 cent piece. I've always loved this type but they have...
