Thank you for visiting my page. Come back any time.
I've been working on all sorts of type collections: US 20th Century US 19th Century British monarchs from Elizabeth II back to... whoever Spanish...
I bought it in Japan and I paid the equivalent of $210 for it.
I've sent it to three major grading services, and they have all labeled it a fake.
I am fascinated by how much this Civil War Token resembles a one centime piece from the French Revolution era:
I think that is one reason why coin collecting is not so popular in Japan-- the designs of Japanese coins have been boring and unimaginative for...
Just for clarification The 5000-yen coin featuring the bust was issued for the 1990 International Garden and Greenery Exposition, a different...
The weight is the same as a genuine $2.50 I will supply a link to a slabbed 1908 $2.50 Indian for comparison, if that is allowed

I don't know if the gold / silver ratio will continue to grow forever, but there are many factors that will continue to be a drag on the price of...
Here's a well-worn coin but it's one of my favorites because it was issued as a last-ditch effort to raise support for the ill-fated Louis XVI of...
Here are some more pics (scans), taken with the coin aligned at different angles to the scanner light. I hope they help.
Only the roll in the back seems to be machine-wrapped and therefore possibly original. The other rolls seem to have been hand-assembled and...
I think you should bear in mind that in 1794, the Mint was in its infancy, and its technology was very rudimentary by today's standards. Dies were...
