Here's another one, with a different date, that photographed better. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I agree with @Santinidollar. When it comes to gold...
Early copper collectors regard this 1795 half cent as a "common variety," but I have never thought of any of the pre-1800 half cent as "common."...
Usualy the older coins had a melt value that was below their face value to small degree. If that had not been true, the coins would have been...
The picture makes it really difficult to say much abou this piece. The color does matter because it's part of the authentication process. My first...
On older coins, mint caused defects, like struck throughs and clipped planchets can actually lower the value. A few years ago, I was negotiating...

There was a post in the "What's it Worth?" area of a modern reproduction of the Confederate Half Dollar. I promised to post a picture of the Scott...
I have decided to past a history of the Confederate Half Dollar in the U.S. Coins section. Here is an example of the Scott Restrike. [ATTACH]...
