If they were all silver, but unfortunately they are not all silver. The largest of the bunch, the Haitian 50 centimes is a copper-nickel coin...
Same coin, different date. ANACS old little holder, MS64. Couple hits to the dolphin keep it out of the gem class. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Close-up that shows the adjustment mark a little better. For certain it was added (or subtracted more accurately) after it had been struck but...
Meanwhile, no one has answered the original question. So I will rephrase it. Here, we have a coin which has obviously been damaged by a...
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck,,,,,.....,,,,,why then it's probably a duck. Which I am fairly certain is the...
If a sheriff's deputy in Deadwood, South Dakota came across a person laying face down on the side of the road, said person very dead and with an...
The coins were never adjusted prior to striking, always afterward. Otherwise they would have failed to detect underweight coins from laminations...
Couple others...,, 1824-A France 40 Francs. Massive deep file marks on poor Charles' cheek. [ATTACH] 1811-A France 40 Francs adjusted in...
Some of the marks are deeper than others, a few at the top very faint, a few in the middle missing entirely. The file itself was probably not...

Or perhaps a counterfeit of a coin from Ethiopia. The uneven wear on the reverse screams "fake" to me.

In the final analysis, the real value of slabbing a coin is realized when selling it. The plastic slab and by extension the guarantee of...
What does the edge look like?
I use dykes along the long edge of the holder, about a third of the way from the top. On NGC slabs, it usually produces an arched shaped crack in...
I'm not so sure of that. I suspect we are closer to a resurgence of cash transactions than we are to the demise of cash. One of these days there...
Very accurate assesment of what happened. Essentially, the Germans surrendered to Napoleon as the French headed east, then claimed victory as the...

Had thought perhaps that was the case, flow into the legend portion of the die to create letters on top of the flaw. The letter "M" is so well...

Separate names with a comma.
