I've followed this coin across multiple threads now. I still have no idea if it is a modern or contemporary counterfeit, all I know is it is a...
If 1986 was my first birthday..... that means 1985 was my birthyear...... that means I'm 34..... I'll accept "you devil." I don't think "old"...
I would assume that the "ordinal" number is the sequential number. The first one he bought would be 001, second 002 and so forth.
Welcome to the forum. Absolutely not, 100% no, no way should an 1811 half have a reeded edge. If what you are calling is a reeded edge was...

QDB relates in one of his books that this exact same concern was written in an article in the Numismatist in 1913. I can't remember the exact...
Everyone was at fault, except the step-mom. John should have done 2 things better: he should have trained his family on the importance and value...
I have it broken down into categories, but then each coin gets the next sequential number. This is very similar to how museums catalog their...
In my tracking spreadsheet, I assign each coin a serial number. I then name the picture with that serial number obv and rev. That way, if for...
For everyone besides Doug - go get a few modern coins out of your change jar. *Closely* examine the surfaces. Apply acetone in your preferred...
