You're seeing something that isn't there! Chris
The base looks like it might be a launch platform. I wonder if Sy, @Skyman would know? Chris
When I was 15, I got hassled by all of the old-timers. Of course, I was winning all of their money on the pool table, so I laughed all the way to...
I just need an appropriate cud to complete the entire progression from beginning to end. Chris:)
Wrong! If this medal was just a lump of bronze, its intrinsic value would be just that. However, the intrinsic value takes a back seat to the...
You only think you know what you're talking about. Oh, it is a real coin, all right! It's just that it was damaged after it left the Mint. Chris
I'll assume that you were just kidding because that answer is a joke. What about this 1876 copper medal that is 76mm x 9mm thick? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

And, in all my years of collecting medals, the value of the metal composition has always taken a "back seat" to the artistic and/or historic value...
Again, this coin, like the cent you posted, is just PMD. You really need a better understanding of the minting process if you are going to search...
Do you consider the intrinsic value of a Renoir or Degas to be the value of the paint? Chris
It's PMD. You can tell because the rim is crushed on both sides, probably by a pair of pliers. Chris @morgan Tegeler - Welcome to the...
Both "intrinsic value" and "whatever you ask for it" are totally subjective and have no bearing on the true value. I've been collecting French and...
The problem one often encounters when trying to place a value on medals is that you won't find a comprehensive price list for most of them. Most...
The OP asked for it! He deserves it! Chris
If you do, don't bother coming back here! Chris
