Great pic of the fam Derick! The Moreno coin is fabulous, especially the reverse. A further indictment of the lameness in US coin design.
If there is something along these lines for Italian would be nice to know about it. From what I have seen, there isn't much in English. Since...
A coin is worth whatever it will trade at. If 1938 Egyptian 100 Piastres are routinely trading for over $1,000 on eBay, then that's what they are...
Back when it was a raw coin, Richard Ponterio described it as brilliant uncirculated. That was around 1993. To give you an idea how conservative...
Coin belongs in the "Post Beautiful Women" thread(!)
You know, when I first heard the news that he had been charged with counterfeiting, I thought it was a hoax. But close examination of the coin...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Correction, I guess mine was proof too, though it had enough handling marks to obliterate the distinction.
You're absolutely right, and the spike hairdoo is missing as well now that you mention it.

I agree 100% on that observation. When mine sold for $65 the other day I was surprised. I do understand some of them are quite rare, the ones...
Funny you should mention the 10 Guilder in gold. With this particular portrait, a slightly better world gold coin though nothing really rare....
I agree with you in a 1996 sort of way. But this being 2012 and all, why especially the 100 Franga would almost certainly move-up.
Plain. Reverse has Aros, son of Aphrodite on it.
I would say check them all before buying or selling...,, There are some coins that will do better on eBay than any other venue on the planet if...
Nope, the real thing. Bought it at the Chicago International Coin Fair about 20 years ago for $175 (which was an outlandish amount of money for a...
The marks wouldn't even show were it a frosty coin. Merciless grading on proof-like fields it seems, though in fairness this hardly the only coin...
