Looks good to me. A bit dulled, but not fake as far as I can see. Guy~
I collect a few rocks here and there, mostly at work. We travel through some nice agate and jasper fields, so I'll look around and pick up some...
I think a learn a little something from everyone here. Guy~
Let me know which show and I'll try to make it. Vegas is only 1 1/2 hours away. Wish I could make a show with Peter, but New England is a bit...
I have to be skeptical of it's authenticity. The lettering looks way off to my eye. Not to mention they are beyond rare in that they are beyond...
Cash is cash. I really don't see what their problem is, other than the mild annoyance. If they didn't want the bother of counting cash in any...
In short...yes, someone was. Even if that coin is authentic, it's a far cry from AU as stated. Guy~
A lot of bells are cast in centrifuge molds, which evenly distributes molten metals. Coins are cast in globular casts, so their structure isn't...
I'm rather bummed I didn't knw anything about this and get to chip in. I had a wonderful 1986 AG cent I was hoping to give him :D Guy~
I haven't noticed many of the things mentioned above at the shows I attended this year. Maybe with bullion. Seems half the people buying wanted...
Thats not a gaming token in the traditional sense. These were won in slot machines and could only be redeemed at a cashier for the face value, not...

Well, that should give our great-great grandchildren something to look forward to. I think by the time they get done commemorating stuff, our...
Thats exactly how I feel. But, the modern restraints of what people and governments think MUST be on a coin, hold such ambitions back. GUy~
Because then it would be a true classical coin, in my opinion. The motto wasn't added until 1866 on most coins (1864 being the first on the 2 cent...
Maybe it's been the countless discussions here, or perhaps my own disinterest in modern coinage, but I've been thinking about what really defines...
62. Hair is a bit flat above the ear and the wing tips look a bit worse for ware. More importantly, are you going to tell us what it actually is...
I said 63, but upon closer inspection, I'd degrade that quite a bit. The long scratch accross the obverse is somewhat distracting. But, the gouge...
I get mine on ebay. I like the individual top load sleeves. Keep an eye out. I see them for about 8 dollars average for 50. Guy~
