Well, however got this 1797 Stemless Wreath (S-143 I think?, R-5) possibly didn't quite get a bargain, but got to for at least a very reasonable...
You are absolutely correct about the need to be cautious in this area. I have a nice collection of spanish colonial coins, specifically from the...
Similar but at a lower price level is the 1822 dime. Only 200 or so exist, many in lower grades but also a handful of mint state coins. The 1804...
I've compared your coin to a similar one (also dated 1766) shown in P. 86 of F. Gilboys book. Gilboy was the authority on spanish colonial pillar...
Looking at Heritage prices realized, CQR, and using my own judgement I would price this coin at $ 100-170. It is just too scudzy to warrant more....
Frank, for German coins minted 1800-1871 I would recommend one of the specialized german catalogues. I myself use the book by B. Stutzmann. The...
Interesting coins and interesting discussion, guys.
Viewing the date again, closely, I think it is 1676 and not 1670. The top of the last 6 seems to have been cut very shallow and short so that it...
I checked MCsearch and MA-Shops. Neither list a Fugger 15 K for the year 1670. The years listed are '76 and '77. Interesting. Could be a very...
Hallo ffrickey, es tut mir unheimlich Leid, dass ich nicht früher geantwortet habe. Ich schaue nur selten in My Messages rein. Um ihre Frage zu...
Ah, finally a Galba on C.T. Nice coin with an interesting reverse inscription.
I'll say VF 20, and nice! Bonus points for not being an 1806 or 1807 (as most Draped Bust Halves seems to be)
That is a nice coin with an expressive portrait of Maesa. We visited today a fort on the Limes which had been dedicated by the Cohort manning it...
Really sorry to hear about this, Mat. At least nobody got hurt and that is the main thing. Having a store front selling valuable small items like...
Nice Faustina, Mat. I too am missing one, (even though I live only a few miles from the Limes). Maybe one day I will find one.
Thank you all for your help. I could not have hoped for a more complete (and methodical) answer. Thank you! I guess I made a slight mistake when...
Thanks, Lugia, My guess was also S-71 or 72. Let us see what some of the other guys have to say.
The austrian 2 Heller 1899 coin is listed in the Muenzen Revue coin price guide. Unfortunately it is anything but scarce (listed at 3 Euros in...
I need a little help with this cent. Let us see what the experts say. I hope the image is good enough to work with. Thanks in advance!
Very nice, Silvereagle. Those are beautiful coins from a very historic part of Europe.
