Maybe not. They said it is being returned to the finder. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't declared treasure and retained by the British Museum....
Interesting bill. It authorizes a coinage of 1/3 that of the total coinage of half dollars for each year. So 1/3 of zero since there are no...
Yep, listen to rlspears host your pictures elsewhere and embed them. you can have as many pictures as you want and no fees. And you can have big...
I love it, and if you know John you really understand the "What I think I do" picture.
OK I was unaware they had changed the 25/3 designation to a second 25/4/2 die. There is still a problem. The same book that the PCGS site...

It's big but not the biggest. the 97 2 pence weighed 2 oz. In 1813 there was a workhouse sixpence token struck in copper that weighed 5 oz. And...
When it gets back double check the attribution. To date ALL known E and L counterstamped 1825 quarters have been the 25/3 variety. If you have a...
From what I understand MI does NOT collect sales tax on coins in which case you would not have to collect taxes. This will give you a list by...
True, but it IS still a recently made counterfeit nickel.
I must not be a casual observer, I don't see it.
Most random counterstamps are of no interest to me and I do consider them to be damage. Other counterstamps that had a specific purpose I view...
Francis Scott Key was at the bombardment of Fort McHenry and wrote The Star Spangled Banner in 1814 not 1812. We are commemorating the...
