There has been developed, I believe, a rough chronology of these pieces by use of die varieties. Even if you attributed it, though, I doubt it...
I can certainly agree. In my auctions, the junk half dime went for $13 and the AU Morgan went for only $33!
Here's a pretty little 1674. I have a 1672 thats about EF, but unfortunately when I scanned it into my computer I accidentally pasted the reverse...
I collect ancients. The varities are almost endless! But the real kicker is this: there are no sets. Rather, each coin is a set unto itself. That...
I know of two, the ANA Summer Internship. And then theres the ANS internship, but thats a whole different cup of tea - very intense, dealing...

Books aren't always necessary. I just bought my first (and very out of date) copy of Sears guide a few months ago and haven't really used it....
Looks like a slightly filled die to me.
Not quite. 091 may be a provincial from the mid 200's. Or I'm seeing things, which is possible - its a rough coin and a rough photo. 087 looks...

What? No Ptolemies? :-D
With cents nickels were saved in great quantities - people thought that they would be worth something.
May I also add that the attributions are wrong? :-D
Splendid!
That's not crud, just patinated bronze. Very worn and ugly, but genuine bronze.
LOL!!!!! :D:D:D I find this hilarious. Very impressive holders, pathetic coins....
Depending on what you're collecting, you may do better getting specialist guides. For example, Spink's Coins of England is published annually and...
Sure, if you want a hoard of 1967 British pennies and worthless French Francs. Find me a 1696 Crown for that price. :p
