Technically, you are right. But I wasn't trying to be too exact. Their appeal, to me, is exactly what you mentioned: that they were the first...
These are my oldest U.S coins. Both Massachusetts shillings. A large planchet Pine Tree...
Interesting perspective. The 1809 dime was recognized as scarce already 30 years ago (or much longer). Over the last few years, however, it has...
I understand what you are saying, JCB, and in my opinion that is the best reason to collect coins: their HISTORY and the bridge they provide to...
I have absolutely no doubt that 1794 large Cent is genuine. The question is which variety? I have seen that hair style before and will take a...

I agree with randy, Octavians are not scarce, but they sell for high prices, and this particular type is quite appealing and not seen often....
Definitely a nicer looking coin, with a more expressive portrait as well. Regarding denarii which have been cleaned, I find it a pity that so...
A nice coin randy, and I must say, that is one of the reverses I like the most: Romae Aeternae.
Nice and RARE coin Kid Collector! even with the damage on the obverse. One that I am still looking for.
Coming back to coins, here are some late middle ages/renaissance issues. These are Goldgulden (Dukats), one from Brandenburg Franken minted around...
