Cool. I wouldn't mind adding one of those to my collection. I'm assuming that he also made other dates - have any of those been identified? Or,...
I haven't checked with my bank (just assumed that a list of the contents backed up by photos would work) - what does yours require?
The metal value exceeded the face value in 1861? Was there a silver shortage before the Civil War for some reason? With the recent strikes in the...
I'm not sure that Franklin saw the inside of too many saloons, but he certainly had a fine time chasing French tail on behalf of his country!
I've come across some of those at combined coin and stamp auctions, but generally, I think they have more of a following among the stamp...
I'm used to seeing these in much lower grades - that's a good find for the price! How much was the dealer asking for the other coin?
I would assume bullion value; art medals like that rarely carry a high premium (especially for modern sports memorabilia).
As I understand it, the primary purpose of a brick and mortar coin shop is to provide a place to buy from people rather than a place to sell. It's...
The medal is identified here as Eglit 214 - do you know what reference book that's from (or if the ID is correct)?...

Ah, it does! I compared my 1918 5 centavos to a 1918 20 centavo, and the difference is really clear. The numerals in 1918 on the 20 centavo are...
That's a pretty one in the series. I like most of the issues from the 1890's up until the 1930s. Before and after that, there are a lot of ugly...
I've only got 2 Franklins, and here's the one I could scan easily: A 1958-D. Not the prettiest Franklin - I think this is probably what he looked...
I recently picked up a lot of 5 So-Called Dollars that includes one I'm not familiar with. I was buying the lot in order to get the UN spinner...
Sheesh. That's quite annoying - and the pattern is disturbingly well done. The one you linked to has a very dull (almost pewter) look to it. For...
Thank you! Any idea why the state of Louisiana and the Confederacy struck half dollars but not dollars? I see that there were 1860-o's... were all...
Sorry, but that link isn't working for me. Are you logged in, perhaps?
The 20 centavo has 0.0965 ounces of silver. Sadly, it is a common date and in low grade, so it's going to trade very close to its silver value...
Who is the issuing authority for the "dollar"? Usually, that's the point where these private mints run into legal issues.
