Very nice 1810, I recall that these were the 1st year of issue, although patterns were struck dated 1809 in both bronze and silver. Brazilians...
Thanks for the comments. Very nice Escudo of Cuzco, Peru, 1840-A. I should add that I like this design very much --perhaps due to never finding a...
Well not too experienced on these but I'm going to guess somewheres in the VF range: maybe a 20 or 25? A very nice piece to stick in a Walking...
I believe I have one here & will try to link to the tread on CT with the photo. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-love-big-copper.287898/page-6...
In "rarer foreign" I'm happy with 62's as the NGC graders are sometimes clueless or deduct for mint flaws when nobody in the entire country was...
I like the "unc details" guess. Without a better photo or the coin in hand, it's impossible to tell. Spot traces reverse indicates sumthin's...
Well it depends on the surfaces which are hard to tell from the photo. The cud, obverse is mint produced and shouldn't detract from the grade....
Mentioning that I collect Ancients + Latin American & Brazil, I'm going to throw in my 2 cent piece. I've always loved this type but they have...
I'll disagree. There are fradulent sellers whenever things of high value are being sold. Simply limiting criteria to frequent sellers of coins...
For my son's birthday I bought a refurbished MSI brand laptop on Ebay. When I got it, the keyboard had problems, it had a lower amount of RAM...
Very nice & impressive. I give preference to actual circulating coinage like yours, over medals. I presume you bought the slab and cracked it...
Actually my guess was based on possible tooling in the upper left field but the posted photo is quite low res so I guess they're just scuffs on an...
Well the 1800 $10 gold alone is worth around $12,000 if genuine. However it does not appear to be so. I'd be surprised you even receive...
Well if you're serious about Germany I'd suggest you deal with Gorny & Mosche; one of the best known auction houses based in Munich. Why buy...
That's my guess. I believe both are around equally as common so there's not much to be gained from having a 10 marks over a 20. This is unlike...
While I haven't looked it up people here say that this is not a rare date. Noting that it's probably a VF35 BUT it has a staple scratch obverse,...
Given my experiences with coin dealers this is actually the most likely scenario!
Well the copper looks bright so it appears to be a recent filing. This could actually be a very good thing. I've been investigating as to...
Looks blackened from the fire also...
