Tom, I've already given my opinion of it. Duke, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you spend and where did you get this coin? Feel free...
Sure Lew. The 1 franc with no privy mark was minted in 1921. It is very hard to come by in AU or higher grade; below EF they are relatively...
This thread seems to have paused a bit. Lets see if I can jumpstart it, with a gorgeous, highly lustrous, album toned AU Bust half. [img] [img]
Much better mat. The coin has still been dipped, but at least its not all splotchy and ugly. My recommendation would be - find an old paper 2x2...
This coin is screaming "counterfeit" to me.
Shoe, its AU because its circulated. The discoloration on the high points of his cheek is indicative of wear - hence, AU. Now, if this were a...

Kanga, that's exactly how I post pictures on Ebay. There is no sense at all paying Ebay 15 cents a pic if I can host them perfectly fine on a free...
Coins were usually much more roughly treated in earlier eras. Plus, they had a lot more years to get beat up.
Just got this press release from the ANA PMG to Grade and Encapsulate ANA Bebee Collection of Paper Money Project Enables ANA to Showcase...
Looking at the only example sold on Heritage, that baby is waaaaay outta my price range, at least right now. I'm outta cash after buying that PL...
At least in those pictures, the luster looks almost non-existent. That will limit the grade.
I'm just gonna throw it out there: my birthday is coming up in July. Hint hint.
Those have been .... loved... a little bit more than I usually see the colonial aluminum issues. I only have 1 Togo coin, but I don't have a...
I haven't posted this one in a long time: [img] [img]
Oh. My. Gawsh. What does that piece of art grade? And where do I send the check.
