Krause only lists a value in F, which is $175. Seems quite high to me, but that's what it says.
I can recognize the words (or abbreviations) "Theresa by the grace of God imperial regent of Hungary, Bohemia" 1761. There are a few other letters...
Personally I don't care for toning like that. I think an old bronze coin should have that dark look that most old money does. This is like those...
So is the classification as a New York penny a mistake in terminology or is that actually what it's called? I've seen the Dutch East Indies coins...
1839 New York colonial penny doesn't make sense. They're wrong about something on there since New York was a U.S. state in 1839.

I've never had to open a case over it. I always work it out through the message system. There's no reason to go to the authorities unless the...
The first thing I do is email the seller, tell them what happened and see what they say. Generally they give a refund. As for shipping it, a lot...
Thanks. Of course I don't brag about the coins I pay too much for. :)
I'm getting sick of receiving empty envelopes in the mail because the person who shipped it didn't know how to package their coin. It happened...
I got this one in the mail today. 1972 Bahamas 5 dollars. Besides being beautiful, it was really a steal. It is more than an ounce of silver, but...
From what I've observed, they seem to make a lot of coins for collectors. Everything I've seen, like the ones you have, are obviously meant for...
So you are collecting the worst condition coins you can find?
That was actually what inspired me to search. I had never thought to look before.
I look for them all summer and then usually I find them one weekend in the fall and that's it. I really like the coin too.
