[ATTACH] Did a little searching...it looks like the tughra of Abdul al-Ḥamid II, who reigned from 1876 to 1909. I am not an expert on Ottoman...
Ottoman, all right, but I don't read Turkish. The emblem near the top of the coin in the right hand photo is the tughra, which is the "signature"...
A co-worker of mine found an 1827 large cent in her yard with a metal detector last year. It wasn't scratched up like yours but it definitely...
I did sell some of my circulated silver halves the next day and am glad I did! Walked out of the coin show with more cash in my pocket than when...
Someone was listening to "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones a bit too much..."I was crowned with a spike right through my head..." That's...

The interesting part about that is that the $10 Indian was Teddy Roosevelt's (McKinley's successor) favorite coin (without the motto), but they...
Unless it was counterstamped like the one in the article I posted, I would agree. But a totally flattened coin of the era in question would at...
Looks like it from the description given here http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20Master%20Listings/lincoln%20rpms%201946.htm
You got it! Nice find!

[ATTACH] I never knew about this and I'm a Canton, OH native, where McKinley lived much of his life and was buried there. Have any of you ever...
