The early P's looked like blobs. They started making them a bit larger so they didn't chip and fill so easily. Sometimes you see the same...
Nice cracked skull. Too bad you couldn't have found it 34 years ago.
I overstruck some Canadian Cents and Dollars several years ago, then found out it was illegal. I guess you can't mutilate the portrait of the...
Money is money. England didn't really have any circulating large silver coins like other European countries.
Don't waste your money getting them graded - that will cost you at least $60 or more with Registered Mail. I have never seen a great deal at a...
What someone is willing to pay. Even better if you get two people that want it.

Looks fine to me. What do you see?
Nice quarter eagles in great grades to collect - lots of bang for the buck.
The cost of the acetone is more than its value, unless it's the find that's important.
Looks like it might have a little ejection doubling. The mirrored surface makes it hard to tell, along with some blistering when it was heated...
I love them with the Latin 5's. I picked up a 1755-G (Guatemala) that has the 5's that the uninitiated can't decipher. It is nice to see...
