Here is a token from Teddy Roosevelt's 1904 campaign that touted his role in settling the 1902 anthracite coal strike. He used the term "square...
Every history buff is familiar with Franklin Roosevelt's slogan, "The New Deal." It was the signature phrase for his administration from 1933 to...
The good news is the coin is genuine, which is not always the case these days with the Chinese flooding the U.S. coin market. The bad news is it's...
OOPS! I mispoke. These things are dated 1906 and 1908. Here they are, truly ahead of their time, fresh off the HG Wells time machine. :hungover:...
Here is a big part of your problem. The legends on these coins use a different alphabet. Here is a translation sheet. [ATTACH] The obverse...
In another post, I published pictures of a Henry III Penny that had been cut in half to make it into a half penny. I thought about posting this...
This will be my only Augustus Caesar for a while. After I get the other emperors, I might go back and buy one with the comet. After Julius Caesar...

I know that these dates come frosty instead of brilliant, but this piece looks a bit too over dipped to me. My grade would be AU-50 because of...

I didn't pay very much for this piece, $20, but I wanted it because it is an example of a bit of history. Aside from the “gold pennies” that Henry...
I recently acquired this piece and thought that it is pretty nice. It's been dipped, obviously, but overall the eye appeal is quite good. Is this...
Several years ago, I started a collection that had at least one coin for each British king from Edward the Confessor to Queen Elizabeth II. There...
The reason for adding edge lettering or the "vines and bars" to the copper coins may have been this simple. The mint had the Castaing machine...
Here is a video that shows how the Castaing machine worked, which imparted the edge devices on the coins. [MEDIA] The half cents had "Two...
I agree with that. I have not purchased many otherwise acceptable to outstanding ancient coins because of off-center strikes that resulted in some...
This comment is really off-base. Are you telling us that you learned nothing from the so-called 36 irrelevant posts that make you angry? I...
