Or a "crying shame" lincoln cent collection. My neighbor growing up was a metal detectorist. He found a EF/AU 1909 S VDB with 3/4 of a hole...
I agree I do not think it is real. Have you felt the note? Intaglio printing leaves raised lines of print. Try it with a note in your pocket, (I...
Excellent little piece sir. I agree, a few antiquities accents an ancient coin collection. I have terracotta lamps, roman glass, a cuneiform cone,...
I do not believe so. I just read an article in the Numismatist talking about early half cents. Lady Liberty was hubbed from the same hub that...
I agree. You demonstrated knowledge and some expertise in your post sir, and if you have that and a willingness to accept you might make a...
