I've made a rough draft of the presentation, in powerpoint. I used quite a few pictures from online to illustrate points that I make no copyright...
Looks like I was too impatient for my pics to load:
What's the best resource for identifying German Notgeld? I have a handful of these and just added a small lot that interested me to my collection....
Ok, using pics of other 1 centavos of that type, I think I was able to find the date & mintmark. It looks like a common date 1887-M in AG-3....
The detail on this is just about gone. It appears to be a late 19th century Mexican coin ("Republica" is clearish with the Mexican eagle facing...
[Facepalm]. Well, it makes sense that it's smaller than the centavo, at least!
Why don't you feel this qualifies as a pattern? It seems to fit the same category as the 1856 flying eagle cents that were circulated among...
Sorry for the lousy pics - this is a tiny coin & I don't have my lens handy to shoot through. The denomination reads "Medio Centimo" - is that 2.5...
I was going to say the same thing - and I just finished reading the thread. Is it possible that there are multiple threads and you're getting your...
I'd like to finish the presentation with a coin related quotation. Anyone know a good one? I'm looking for something that encapsulates the idea...
I'd say a struck through error like that is worth $3-10. Some error collectors go crazy for them. I like that piece & would add it to my...
That's the "loser of a bar fight" variety.
I found out the annual gift limits are $14k per recipient. Also, there's a lifetime gift limit of $5.34 million (which I can only dream of ever...
What were some of the steps you took in preparation?
I recently helped appraise a collection of coins that was discovered in a safe in a storage unit that someone purchased at auction. There were...
The coin appears to have been bent & re-straightened (you can see the crease in the pics if you know to look). What would that do to the value?
That's a silver round I would definitely like to have one of. I don't know if I'd pay much of a premium for it.
$20k for a MS70 seems a bit out of touch with reality. There's a sharp premium over an MS69, but I'd only expect 15% or so.
If I'm not buying a common date or rough grade, I'd be happy to fill several holes in my Peace & Morgan collection for $25.
Pretty coins. Is the jewelry piece solder free or damaged?
