Lol, funny. The 67 with rays is one of only 2 MS shields I own, and one of the very few slabs I own. I got a PCGS 66 cheap at an auction in 96. :)
Paula Tuvia Fiji andora Sounds like you are naming off former girlfriends. :)
As an aside on pfennings, it used to be very popular to have "pfenning checks" in German bars. Any unfortunate soul, (many times a tourist), who...
I think like Guy. If I really wanted a small gold, I would look at something like 2, 2.5, or 5 peso mexican gold. Older, and actually struck to be...
Heck, nice to see any Gaius without the ubiquitous Vesta reverse. That is the only Caligula I own.
I think most of us here do. :) Except for the no money part that is.

Soap and water are usually not a good idea. Both can contain chlorides, which can be damaging to your coins. Rule of thumb, until you know...
Lol. I hope I didn't offend you with not knowing if you were familiar with 19th century proofs. Not a lot of collectors are. :)
Not an expert in proof large cents, but I do own 19th century proofs. I will say that early die state coins that have been cleaned can look very...
Assur answered perfectly. If you wished to know value, these are about the most common Chinese cash coins that exist, so its value is very low,...
Very true sir and it was a shame I agree. Especially the last few really were over the line in my view. No matter the discussion that was not needed.
Ruben, I am pretty sure that I can respond for CoinTalk collectively and tell you that is simply just too much information!
I would say capped bust and seated halves are easy. Most coin shows will have decent examples. Trade dollars are tougher, but can be found...
