What, no Colonials? Not even the Continental Dollar? Although, the only ones in my collection would be the 1962 restrikes (in my SCD binder). Like...
Thanks. My new Samsung S-23 Ultra at 9x zoom, with and without a 30x loupe to help focus on specifics.
I got it for the book price of an XF 1884-O, as the dealer didn't "weigh varieties". I'm not too sad about that. Do you see the VAM-11, or am I...
Doing 1 to 3 shows a month is kind of exhausting. Mostly of my bank account, but, there's fatigue too!
Picked this up at the Grapevine Show today, labeled as an "1884 O/O". Turns out, there are half a dozen o over o varieties that year, and I'm...
M-NY-625 The only acknowledged US brothel token in the Rulau catalog (unless I missed others):
What are the diagnostics on a Doubled Die Obverse 1934 Denver dollar? I cherry picked this one from a large group, but dont know what to check...
I'm a bit conflicted about this proof Jefferson nickel. The grade doesn't seem to match the details, especially on the reverse. And, for a proof,...
The lot set me back $106 for 86 tokens (including 3 So-Called Dollars with one of those being a prooflike R6). So, after doing a quick 2 parallel...

I picked this up along with a group of assorted world tokens. Not sure what to make of it - it is uniface, flower shaped (scalloped with 8-sides),...
This style of shell cards was popular in France from just after 1871 (the Franco Prussian war) to just after ww2 (when the Code Napoleon &...
I'm not sure what the host coin for this counterstamp is - it's about 24mm in diameter and a very thick planchet (US cent shown for comparison)....
I'm still almost totally lost about Roman denominations. Is a Nummus the same as a Follis? Is there a weight or diameter difference?...
Awesome! Thanks for the help!
Could use some help ID'ing this piece. Seller had it labelled as a Maxiamanus Nummus, but I'm not sure how to ID the mint or narrow down the year...
I have seen the other O/CC varieties, and this clearly isn't one of the several VAMs that usually bear the label. But, I can't figure out what's...
Separate names with a comma.
