Don't the edges look funny though? I know it could be from the clip, but to me the edges don't look right. To the OP, without the coin in hand...
#2 looks like an Alex II tet, and #3 is an early Sassanid piece, clipped. #4 is Islamic. You would need closer pics of them to authenticate them,...
I know all of the thought behind "condition census" and the like, but doesn't it make you feel a little sad deep down that coin collecting in some...
To the OP, you are a young collector I take it and do not have much of a collection yet. I would strongly advise you to take a look at larger...
If it helps, this is just like 1979-1980 where all the dealers and most customers wanted to talk about was silver and gold, and numismatic coins...
I feel the same, but for slightly different reasons. I feel bad for kids trying to collect coins and being told a lowly common mercury dime is...
TO everyone saying its stupid to counterfeit a quarter, lets analyze it: Make in China a bunch of poor counterfeits. Most people do not really...

No inflation for 130 years? Do you have documentation of that? I have read many articles concerning how much things cost, and have read how the US...
I meant one that has no real trace of brown, a solid red coin. "Red" covers a lot of coins, and if you can cherrry pick a better one, one farther...
The Treasury rule will be repealed someday after the percentage of these coin in circulation are minimal. Of course, this will require a new alloy...
I agree mostly Fatima, but would still state mild inflation is more desirable than deflation. Its hard to keep prices exactly as they were, so I...
I would agree if it is a "good" red, and you do not think it is likely to turn. Full red cents used to be at least equal to one or two grades. I...
Tell that to collectors of 3 legged buffalos! :)
I have a question for everyone, what pay price are you seeing from dealers? I just called a few in Minneapolis area and all of them were around...
