Nice. Under the bust, in the border, what are those MML letters? Also, I've always wondered how they determine the die number. Is there an...
Very nice! I've only had one bad experience on MA shops or of dozens. It really is the go to place for scarcer European coins
I FINALLY have a coin I think would fit! A lovely little 13 mm coin from Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg circa 1675. KM# 166, Mariengroschen....
There's a site called usacoinbook that you can list on. The fees are a lot lower than eBay. You can also try instagram. People are a bit...
I've been a member for a few years now and enjoy it. They have recorded numismatic talks you can watch on a variety of topics as well. You can...

My concern is the crosses where a date should be are not the same size, the middle one being noticed larger. Also between VINCES and IN the...
Being a born and raised Kentuckian, I approve!
It's a nice design, mostly. With a hand seemingly coming out of liberty's neck and the back of brittania's head, it seems a bit strange.
I like that Reuss-Schleiz Pfennig. Nice low mintage and a one year type!
Current NGC slabs are about 2.5 inches wide. They do mention on the site that the coins shouldn't fit too snugly in the flips, they should be...
