Seconded. Using existing artwork from someone else's cartoon (or even copying their characters) can be a real legal pain. Why not simply redo the...
The Malaysian state of Kelantan recently started minting gold and silver coins for circulation. How long do you think these will stay in...
I would go with the older coins, unless you were comparing particularly rare years of modern issue to common date older issue coins. Off the top...
I'd recommend checking the Krause book for mintage numbers. Depending on the year, some mint marks were worth considerably more than others (and...
Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I'm not sure what would do that kind of damage. The 1907 is a pretty common date, but still a nice silver piece. And,...
And this one is apparently raising money for a new collar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290520160991

How do you tell? Weight? Material? The fakes I've come across in other coins have a different luster, and even the best usually have obviously...
Interesting. I definitely check the edges for cladding after I check the dates, but I haven't seen any of those yet. Are there any known from...

I'm trying to remember - didn't some of the "loyal" Spanish colonies use counterstamps like that on coins from breakaway Republics? If memory...
Can you post a scan? What are the diagnostics?
I love the design on all of those Philippine pieces. Is that one of the 1944 or 1945 'bulk' mintings? It's a shame, but those end up in silver...
There were several medals made as far back as the 19th century that proposed universal trade units of silver. One well known series is the 1896...
That's a good start. With silver prices being so high right now, you might want to spring a little bit extra to get high grade examples. If the...
At one of the World's Fairs, there was a mercury fountain that kids splashed and played in. Its probably for the best that we are a bit more...
Searched 4 rolls of half dollars, 4 rolls of dimes, 5 rolls of nickels, and a change bucket. Found only 2 x 1941 nickels and a 1985 Roosevelt...
It seems like all of those are German. Bayern became part of Germany when it incorporated and kept minting its own coins up until the First World...
