The Krause catalog lists the 1 Schilling ( KM 523.1 ) at starting at $70.00 in very good condition and $140.00 in fine. This could be some heavy...
Not sure about being struck through fabric, honestly. The rim suggests it might have been compressed for something like an encased coin or...
Very nice additions Mark. I also like the $2.00 notes.
There are some Shield Nickel enthusiasts here that might chime in. I cannot enlarge from this photo but there also appears to be something above...
Possibly struck on out of spec. stock? Can you post pics?
Your first photo does appear as doubling as there appears to be a split serif at the 2. The reverse die chips at the arm I'm finding a lot of. The...
What they said and also looks to have been cleaned, judging by the letters and numerals. Also has a die crack at the date.

I'm not sure about MS but it appears to me to be X.F. or so. Also looks to have been cleaned, as when enlarged it shows dirt along the rim. I'll...
That's fine, I'm sure she did not have any bad intentions. I see stuff like this at my local Salvation Army & Habit for Humanity shop also. But I...

It's not about attitude, it's true. The Chinese have been turning out fakes forever and with low grade silver and child labor, on common dates as...
There's only a couple of us here right now answering. Let's see if someone else backs us up. I'm satisfied with yours and my answers.
Your pics are fine Eric. And the more you blow them up, the more apparent it becomes that there is something wrong with this piece. My first red...
Casting bubbles at United & America? Hmmm. And a more common date also, certainly not a rarity. What a waste of time.
1893CC starts in Good at around $200.00. But you are going to have to do some pics without the capsule as it hiding too much. I do see a lot of...
I'm glad Mark saw what he did. I also see something is off with the surfaces of this coin. Almost looks sand blasted.
