Nice selection of 1796 Liberty Caps. I also like the S-85 best due to the smooth surfaces (its R-5 rating helps too).
The coin is authentic, and not all that un-appealing in my opinion. But, it is NOT AU by a stretch, and with the corrosion, which is not spot...
Keep coming back to this Elephant Token - If I recall, this is only the second example which has been posted in CT (at least in my time)....
German states coinage, specially the minors are a very interesting area to collect, billy. Your examples are quite nice. The designs are quite...
I think this is a nice coin: EF40-45 for detail, with a bit of chatter around the rims, net VF35. (I think what looks like a rim dent on the...
Very nice Ryan, that is a scarce and desirable coin. Your example has a nice level of detail. Congratulations.
Thank you very much, K9coper. Did you ever attend the Patrick Henry Village coin shows at the big US Army base in Heidelberg? It was a very...
That is a really fine coin 900. I see the obverse a couple of points higher than the reverse. EF45 Obverse/VF35 Reverse. In my opinion...

This is another one of my favourite coin designs: The Chile Volcano coinage, depicting the column of Liberty, and a volcano. The country is dotted...
I am. And the U.S soccer team has just scored a goal (9:11 pm) to tie England 1:1. Go USA!
Thanks guys, I think I see traces of a lump below the "7". Cannot see anything by star 11 though, but may be due to the extensive wear....
Hi all, I would appreciate attribution help with the Overton number for this 1807 Cap. It is definitely a large stars variety, but I think...
A very nice write-up Randy, and well put together. Appreciate your dedication and found it very interesting. Thanks! There are not many Ancient...
I am afraid I cannot help with the attribution of this middle date cent. But others have already confimed that it is the 1823/2. It looks quite...
Your 1796 is an S-89, Rarity-3. Severely corroded, edge damage. Worth $60-110.
Hunter, sorry to tell you but that is a pretty bad copy of a 1794-1795 half dime. here is what a real one looks like: The flowing hair...
