Getting back to the original questions - I can't speak for all the countries of the world, but the Japanese rin (minted from 1873-92) was...
Watch what you say fella! :rolleyes: I certainly don't consider myself "old", but I remember clearly the repeated reductions in size of...
Now here's a case where the "technical grades" are well above the "market grades". :(
[IMG] A very conservatively graded Amazingly Used 50 pointer on the 250-point Baloney scale. :p

Those statements are contradictory. The first one is the definition of the term. On the other hand, a grade is an assesment of the condition...
Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. A very attractive coin, but far from a unanimous choice as the most beautiful :rolleyes: by...
Why not try contacting the producer of the show, through the station you saw it on?
Get hold of Conder101. He collects and catalogs slabs and probably knows something about curating them.
That's a fairly broad field in its own right. The Japanese Numismatic Dealers Association annual catalogs list a wide variety of notes in yuan,...
Busts of rulers, crosses, crowned shields, uncrowned shields, fleur-de-lis of various sizes, single and double-headed eagles and combinations of...
