I don't recognize any of them off the bat, but they are most likely military challenge coins. Most presidents/generals/admirals/captains, etc.,...
I have no idea what anyone is talking about anymore. They went around in circles for a few hours, and only wound up confusing themselves and...
I would love to see a color designation (NGC used to use a T or W for toned or white, but that didn't last too long). I'd absolutely love it if...
Wow, you're right. That is a really bad strike. That's one of the worst I've seen in a while. Is this date known for being worse than other O-mints?
What is a punt? And what was the Treaty of Rome?
Some of the Mexican states coinage can be extremely crude. I don't think this one looks right to me, however. It looks cast (which I don't think...

Ah, I see where you are coming from. The 1965 UCAM is 0.5% of the population; the 1966 UCAM is 0.95%; the 1967 UCAM is 2.9%. So yes, the date does...
1. The difference between AU and MS is based on wear. There is no wear on this coin. Contact marks are not wear. 2. Contact marks and scratches...
A little bit of context: I was calling certified DCAM specimens rare compared to the rest of the SMS coins. (looking only at NGC numbers) There...
I prefer kettle-corn, myself. Made in a big old kettle like they do at the Civil War re-enactments. Best damn popcorn you'll ever eat. As for...
