My book only covers the 20th century, so I can only weigh in on the 1916 10 centime. I see those occasionally in junk bins for about 10-25 cents...
Yep, that's it! Thanks! How do I nail down the specific year of mintage? Is there a number somewhere to add to the reign year?

What I have is a coin that looks very similar to Egypt's 20th century 5/10 qirsh. It has a much smaller Arabic 5 (the teardrop shaped circle), but...
Unless a coin has PVC adhered to it, I would recommend not doing any cleaning. Certainly nothing chemical like this.
Do you think modern restrike or contemporary forgery / Barbarian copy?
Yep - I'd check the Yeoman book or get a copy of the Krause World Coins book. There might be some rare dates in that mix, but most seem to be...
Don't forget local coin clubs. That's usually a place to get much closer to the melt value of most coins.
Amazing to think it might have been in the ground for 250+ years.
Looks like a Silver Round to me too. There was a US commemorative for the US Bill of Rights. It was in fairly high mintage - the local coin shop...
I recently picked up a set of medals that Salvadore Dali made for the US Olympic Committee in 1988 (and I got them below melt): [ATTACH]
That was about the same time that the Trade Dollar was phased out, and trade with the Far East was growing at a pretty steady clip. I'm guessing...
I would rank the 1819 higher than the 1825. The consensus so far is that they are both F, but the 1819 seems borderline VF to me. The 1871...
I came across a bust half today that has an unusual cud. Under the wing on the left side, there appears to be a bit of extra metal (original to...
Hmm. It would be interesting to see an infographic that puts all of the investments into visual perspective. How big is the global real estate...
I've got a few other cameras and a scanner I can play with. I'll try to get something more in focus... Thanks for the link and feedback!
There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for the half disme. Any collectors in the forum?
Btw, Amazon is a great place to sell coin books that you no longer need. All you need is the ISBN to list the exact edition. You'd be surprised...
I'm not sure what's the deal in Poland, but their Telecommunications companies must do things very, very differently. I don't know if AT&T has a...
I read something about a 5 coin set being produced for the 25th anniversary - anyone know what's in that set?
