Never find a coin like that in a 62 slab today. They were probably all broken out and resubmitted in the likely hope of getting a higher grade....
Very interesting article. It shows the role that the silver coins played in the local economies. Strange that these once very common coins would...
To clarify, I have noticed the color change at the knee, however, haven't seen any trace of metal disturbance or friction there. The color change...
I'll make a wild stab at the grade. If there is an old cleaning that is not always discernable from a photo. Assuming there isn't, I like ms-63...
I think it's a lion. Historically these critters have been depicted munching on things and the Lion characteristically stood for Britain. If I...
I'd be curious to know the slab grade of your 1866 Indian. I too like copper {bronze} and am always trying to improve my grading skills of these...
Wow, that is an attractive Barber half. I've spent years, decades, generations, looking for such a nicely graded Barber on-line but none are ever...
Not being one to be deterred, I'll throw in my own guess on grades. The fields on the $20 are amazingly clean. Were the coin original, I'd guess...
Wrong type of roll. Last year or maybe it was in 2020 I actually found a British Large penny (I think it was 1920) in VF condition in a roll of...
Congratulations! It's a really nice & well researched collection. You can also add the appellation "Most Creative Costume Set".
You really should do a video of the edge while rotating the coin thru the full 360 degrees. Try to get the bank people to rotate the coin while...
Just photo'd this today. My own 2 pence worth. Don't really specialize in pennies but could also use the old '97 cartwheel in unc.[ATTACH] This...
I like #2 as the face looks a little more mark-free. Both are extremely nice pieces. Also the exact grade is hard to determine from one pix...
It is a small mark obv. Don't know exactly what the deal is with the black coloring over it. I originally went for 65 then changed it to 64 over...
I saw a Karl Goetz medal about the same topic. It shows the German Peace proposals being debated & rejected in Parliament.
Very nice. Would you happen to have the weight, fineness, & diameter?
What a stunning taler & half taler. It looks like a medal and may as well be one with a mintage of only 200 pcs. On the death of Fritz, one...
As mentioned elsewhere I tried to buy my 1st Wildman taler. I bid around $1300 but it went for over $1,800 out of Europe. Then I bid on a common...
It used to be that Peruvian Republican coins were considered a dog on the market. One reason given was that Peru is relatively last in the...
Not being an expert in Central European history but didn't Poland keep out of the 30 Years War? I shall run that pix you sent thru an on-line OCR...
