The famous quote "There's a sucker born every minute" is usually attributed to PT Barnum, although some historians say it wasn't him. Whoever...
[img] to the forum 09. In the condition you describe, there may not be. The "R-rated" variety was minted in 1916 and the first part of 1917,...
I vaguely recall seeing something like your second coin, but can't place it. It's probably from an Arab country, possibly southeastern Asia. Can...
:eek: Krause values them from 50¢-$1.50 in VF-XF, so your daughter made out very well. :)
It's an otherwise quite unremarkable VF bronze M34 1 sen (Y#20) that I picked out of a dealer's junk box at the Long Beach Show a couple of years...
Excellent pictures! (You do have the sides mixed up - the side with "Bank of Upper Canada" is the obverse - front - and the side with the...

My primary loupe is one I've had for 30 years or more, and I don't remember anything about where, how, or even why, I got it. In incuse lettering...
At least in the case of the Gin countermarked yen and trade dollar coins, Krause lists them up to Unc without the mark and XF with, but I think...
I'm with GDJMSP on this one, but it has to be pointed out that there are chopmarks, and there are countermarks, which are a whole different story....
Hi jgandolph, and [img] to the forum. One method, which is used for putting gold trim on china, glass, picture frames, etc., is to apply a...
As I'm the first to admit, I'm in no way an expert on U.S. coins, but I find it inconceivable that 1,193,000 coins were struck from a single die!...
Hey Greg - [img] aboard. On the subject of crud you can rely on Greg. :rolleyes:
Hey NOS, [img] back.
