That is a really fascinating story. Thanks!
It is dangerous to think of coins as investments. In terms of value, I think the gold piece is probably a better value. The Jefferson's value...
I'm not sure why you started 2 threads with the same question. And, we really can't tell you anything unless you attach pictures.
What sort of thing do you think you see on this coin? Because I don't see it.

The frigate bird is a really cool animal. That pouch is normally deflated when they are flying around. Only the males have the pouch, and they...
Are there other examples? I can show modern examples, but I'm not sure of other ancient ones.
Use the guide I posted above. They call it large and small motto, but there are numerous differences between them besides just the motto.
Nope, I mean FT. Full Bands (or, Full Split Bands) is used for Mercury dimes. Full Torch is used for Roosevelts:...
