I like Speedy's answer. It deffinately looks like bubbling. Personally, I think it detracts from it's value, at least if I were buying. But, it is...
Nice coins! I've just recently gotten into collecting Bust halves. Are there any good reference books on the coin? Guy~
Of the coins in "circulation" today, I'll go out on a limb and say the Sac dollar. The reverse could have been so much more, but the obverse is...
I don't know, I've just never seen one with spilit rims from the Mexico City mint before. Usually when the rims split it is because it was...
I agree they are more than likely Spanish Colonial. Looks to be hand punched which tells me it probably wasn't made in Mexico City. Probably from...
Thanks for the replies. I was impressed with their selection and prices, and am always looking for a better place to buy online besides gambling...
Great variety! I like all the bird designs. Look forward to seeing more. Guy~
Well, you said there was yourself, when you said if the purchase amount came to say $5.63, I would have to shell out an additional two cents to...
Anyone familiar with Cybercoins? I was just wondering if they were reliable and worth buying from. Their prices seem reasonable enough and there's...

I've always wanted to pay for dinner with Morgans. Problem is, I hate to part with them too much, even worn cheap ones, so I'll probably never get...
Trading cards lost any edge they had when the price to purchase them exceeded any price they could realize after just a short time. I used to...
I don't know. I know a few people who worked at a smelter for a gold mining company and they said they walked through a doorway with a scale at...
I couldn't find anything more. You may want to ask these people http://www.alaska.net/~nakata/coin_club.htm at the Alaska Coin Club. I figure if...
I believe they go through an area that weighs them coming in and compares it to their weight leaving. At least thats what they do where gold...
How do these things always get turned into a debate on what currency is obsolete or not? If we want to play that game, and if the government...
I agree...neat idea, but I don't see it happening. As for a square shaped coin, that won't happen either. For one, there's a vending machine lobby...
It sounds like a Reale. What fraction I don't know without a pic. They usually consisted of two pilars and does the M happen to have a small O...
