I would think this sentence should buyers of MS70's a pause, huh? On the issue of 65's, they fell further than $150. I bought some at $85 a...
Later on the machine makers just put in a mechanism to separate the coin from the channel making it impossible to pull back out, making a string...
Since it is listed as No. 7 I would suspect seventh sale of an auction firm. Since many firms started after WWII, this would place the starting...
I didn't think it was a perfect match, but if you look at the picture of 615, I do think it could be the same design. The OP's coin is hard to...
I believe Penny is the English equivalent to the Germen pfenning. Both coins used to be silver though, that is why the abbreviation for the penny...
I would think Randi is right, especially on the first one. Normally a Crispus would not be worth much for a common issue, but camp gate collectors...
I never said $5 was the correct price at the time for silver, I thought it was cheap that is why I bought then. If silver is used in tiny...
Closest I have is Medieval European Coinage, vol 1, 615, mint possibly Poitiers. The obverse is hard and the reverse cross not exactly the same.
Well, if you like the Lydian coinage, there is "King Croesus' Gold, excavations at Sardis" but its more a metallurgy book. You can start with...

About 1989 actually, but good points.
Well the BMC collection published volumes is about 50 volumes, give or take. This is just what is published, there are more now, so that gives you...
I agree I guess, since I have not priced US coins much since being here. Mine are still in a SD box. Its a good point, but the OP posted a modern...
OK, you could be right. I just remember the holdings they had to sell off because of their declared losses on the trades when the market...
I think it was me Lehigh. :) I never said an obvious difference but I thought I could guess what the grading services would say, even though its...
I am curious, anyone ever read that these Lexington and Concords were placed into circulation? I could see, though, how in the great depression a...
Its dirt. I buy many coins still dirty from the ground, and I clean and conserve them with Renwax. Any US coins I handle enough to get my hands...
I like your post Qwasty. I hope there are no hard feelings. I really feel bad if I had anything to do with you quitting CT. This should be a place...
I know, and I apologize to Qwasty. I really mean it. I just think a lot is lost when you collect plastic holders with little numbers on it, that...
