1943 Florin and Half Crown (never released to circulation, very few survivors) and 1985 20p (test pieces for vending machines) are the ultra...
Got a lot in the mail yesterday, here's the highlights: [ATTACH] A few of the UK's alphabet 10ps. The extra U will make good trade bait....
Not truly a 'new' acquisition, as I've owned this coin for over a month now. That said, I just realized what it is yesterday while looking at my...
Puerto Rico - 1896 P·G·V 10 Centavos [ATTACH] Bit beat up, but for melt I'm not complaining.
This one popped up in my LCS's melt bin early last year: German Empire - 1894-G 1 Mark [ATTACH][ATTACH]
France - 1920 1 Franc, Bon Pour Type [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Super pleased with this one. Seller's pics on ebay weren't that great and I was...
Another tip: Panama's coins are identical in composition and value to US ones.
Yours is from the Paris mint, which is extremely common and is 20 cent bin material on its best day. The 2 franc does not have any weight...
There are proofs from 1977 (and every other year from 1971 to today, for that matter), but I don't believe yours came from a proof set. Looks like...
The Elizabeth coin at the top is a British 5 pence, not a Canadian nickel. Can you take better pictures of it? I doubt it's a proof, but at the...
If I'm trying to sell the coin, I like the TrueView better. If I want an idea of what the coin looks like, I like your pics better.
Obverse is lightly circulated, reverse still appears UNC. Guessing PCGS went with 55 or 58, depending on their mood that day.
I do something that not many people do, and collect all modern circulating world coins by date and mint. Why? Because it's fun! I have a goal...
Oh, I thought you meant the 5 franc. You're completely right on the Mexican stuff.
All 1968s are copper-nickel, all 1969s are silver. To be fair, the face value of the copper-nickel ones isn't a whole lot lower than the melt...
That screams fake to me as well.
In 2009 they did a series of recent gold medal winners for a lead-up to the Vancouver Olympics. Each one came in plain and colored designs.
It looks like that date has been toyed with. It's likely an older coin. A real 2016 has a much larger date.
It seems to me like the values that are given are hard-coded somewhere, something like $2 for base, $20 for silver, and $1350 for gold iirc....
You may have searched by date, rather than by year. As a result, any coin from countries that use different calendars (like Japan, and most of the...
