World War One went very badly for the Italians. Unlike WW-2, Italy was an American/French/British ally fighting against the Germans and...
Both PCGS and NGC are merciless when grading coins with proof-like fields. Which, in this case, isn't even attributed. The very trivial marks on...

Another dounut ring of tone. I would call this one an AU55, the 58 grade seems a little generous. In any case, one of the nice things about AU...
Your coin is about as nice as they come. I have the 50 Lire in MS62 but I don't think it has quite as much luster as yours. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Heavily counterfeited as are all of the 20th century Italian crowns. Real examples are so vastly superior in quality that most of the fakes are...

All the bullion related stuff would be sold to a local dealer in Independence, MO who I trust. The rest would probably go to Heritage Galleries...
Yes, I too have many "oh well" additions. Like the 1989 France 5 Franc proof for the centennial of the Eiffel Tower. Doesn't fit into my...
Yes, that's pretty good for a computer aided design. For some reason, the legends always give it away as being created on a computer screen. But...
