They are indeed mintmarks, of the ones used, (o) = Ottawa, (j) = Jerusalem, (so) = Santiago, (f) = Stuttgart, (s) = San Fransisco. Not sure about...
Coin B is the only one worth more than a couple of dollars. I believe that is a 2 skilling judging by the size.
Great knowledge, thanks for making that clear. =)
Thanks! I'll definitely take you up on that offer. I thought that some ducats were officially struck in Russia, at least the Krause book lists...
The practical market value of your coin is currently in the $400 range.
Good point. I don't have even a ballpark idea of the age or region of this one.
Got one I can't seem to even get a clue on, much less identify it. I know there's a few people here that know about these types of coins. Any info...
First time I heard of that, would you happen to have a link to any? I'd love to get an idea of what the good fakes look like. Thanks.

The edging part is actually not even relevant, not sure why I put that in there =) These early dollars are actually found with pre strike edging...
I agree with Hobo. There isn't any book I'm aware of. That is probably because there are few rules that would apply to all cleaned coins. There...
One thing to keep in mind is that the obv/rev design is not struck after the coin is edged, it is done simultaneously. For any part of any legends...
This is a medal by Karl Goetz. As far as rarity, this one is the most common and there are several examples at any given time on eBay. In...
I don't think it's safe to own that! If some really "out there" collector decides to make love to it, it may just fall over and squash them flat! =0
