That S-156 has got to be the finest known then. Very, very nice. Here is my only 1831: (variety: unknown)
Talk about crudely struck coins: these are a 1 and 2 reales struck for the colony of Valdivia in Chile in 1822. There was an acute shortage of...
Beautiful Coins, all of them. Congratulations!
It looks like a denarius of emperor Vespasian with the God Mars on the reverse.
My clear preference is for the bust dimes, specially those issued before 1829. They speak to me more than does modern coinage like the Liberty...
If you are really serious about 'world' coins (i.e the 95 % of the world which lies outside of the U.S), then you really need to get a countries...
Thank you, Cazkaboom! Here is one which I searched for for a while: Clodius Albinus - The african Emperor. Albinus reigned only for a year or...

You are right, I was trying to be gentle. That is why I said 'assuming you find someone who is not bothered by the hole' I have bought coins with...
Very nice coin, 900! I still need to find a decent 1803 for my collection (but then again, also 'need' a 1793 liberty cap, another 1794 with head...
Nice one Ripley!
Looks like S-187, R-1. But I am giving no guarantees. Details of VF20, downgraded to VG7 for damage, you are looking at about $100-170 (assuming...
I wanted to thank everybody for your comments. Yes, I do think the toning on the 1854 O half does look a little too colourful to be natural. I am...
Thank for posting those pictures, derrick. From the looks of it you are close to the Cordillera de los Andes? Reminds me a lot of one of the...
Here are the rest of the coins:
