Photograde doesn't cover uncirculated coins because as they said in the 1970 edition is isn't really possible to show the lack of wear in...
Toad, First there is a problem with the dictionary definition. Mints do not produce paper currency. Second Silver is heavier than Nickel not...
The Germans counterfeited significant amounts of British pounds (Operation Andrews and Operation Bernard) and they were gearing up to produce US...
What do you think of such an operation as? I see it as an unofficial or unauthorized mint. Because a Mint is a place at which coins are made....
What makes you think those were legal tender here? They were made here, but not legal tender here.
I would agree with that. I think this may be a first as well, the first US coin struck for circulation with a negro on it. There have been...
True but the pictures are bad. There could be traces but they aren't visible. You would have to see better pictures or the coin in hand. I...

That coin shows either a very strong "die bounce" (effectively Machine Doubling.) or it has been double struck, possibly just on one side (Coin...
I believe the 1848 small date cent was a contemporary counterfeit. I don't have a picture of one readily available but I have seen it and it is...
I really like that Yorkshire 63 token. The amount of fine detail in that Cathedral is amazing, and then you realize that it was all cut into the...
Nice coin, considerably better than mine. What edge inscription does yours have? For a Conder token these things are rather common, but since...
Because at those auctions there were more people who wanted/needed the 50 than wanted/needed the 47.
I vote for the conspricy theory. If there really were things in the design that resulted in the widespread rejection of the coins I'm sure they...
