Mike, I guess you meant 1821. A nice coin, and quite scarce in that condition. As a matter of interest, is the grade you quote the EAC or TPG...
Very interesting coin! I think 'pituto' means something like button (in the context of 'empuja el pituto' = press the button)
Moving onto 1823.....since I don't have an 1822 (at least not one worth showing) - here is an 1823/2. In this case the coin is much nicer than...
Sorry, this is another coin out of sequence: 1811 Cent (not the overdate) Nice surfaces, fairly good condition, BUT unfortunately cleaned.
I like this one, showing a roman lady veiled and mysterious. This roman coin (dupondius of Drusus) shows the wife of emperor Augustus, Livia,...
Thank you Gallienus for pointing out your website. You have some very nice coins there, and I have bookmarked it. I encourage other C.T members...
May I rephrase: nothing better than a beautiful woman AND/WITH a coin!
Derick, it may be worthwhile letting the 1825 soak in acetone for a while. Some of what appears corrosion may be removable junk.
Thanks for your comments. Concerning getting this coin graded by a TPG, I am an old fashioned collector - I keep my coins in trays or in...
Mike, the picture is very close to the actual color - the coin is maybe just a tad darker.
Thank, guys. As i said, this one is not straight forward for me. It came in a Bowers & Merena Lot I bought over 20 years ago, and it was only...
Thanks, Mike. I am (pleasantly) surprised you would go as high as that! Eduard
Sorry for being out of sequence with this '98 (just found the pictures). It is a rather common variety for the year, but shows an interesting...
This one has me a bit stumped. It has a nice bust with decent detail, while the reverse seems weaker specially on the wings. My opinion is this...
1819 n-2
Thank you again, Ardatirion. That was very kind. Regards, Eduard
Hi John, I am using the AKS catalogue - 2012 Edition: Grosser Deutscher Münzkatalog. The bible for German States Coinage 1800-to date. For this...
Mike, thanks for your comments. I am sure I speak for a few others when I say that your experience with early copper is educational to many,...
This is a escudo dated 1838, with the popular 'Hand on Book' design (the book of the chilean constitution). A nice coin with luster. Likewise...
You have some very nice coins there, Gallienus. I did not buy anything at the Millenia Sales - they had some incredible Chilean and other coins....
