Judging from the pictures I grade the coin VF30-VF35. I cannot see that coin grading AU, ever, there is just too much wear on the hair. Also,...
See, I was right, it was the "5" that has been messed with. Seriously now, what is the "EAC Yahoo" group? Is that a forum for discussion...
Thats an incredible deal for $3. The Euro coin alone is worth a buck 50.
Very likely (if not certainly) a fake. That "5" has been worked on, and none too well I might add. See this PCGS F15 from Heritage: Human...
That is a very nice coin, and historically significant. Your picture is excellent too BTW Dutchman. BUT, what I like the most about your coin is...
Believe it or not, NONE whatsoever. I do not wish any specific coin at this time, and I frankly believe I have more than enough. I have...
Well, judging by what I have seen you post here lately, those two will be joining a very distinguished family (that 1795 1/2C was fantastic)....
I am Glad I Listened to Dave Bowers Advice in 1986.... Besides Proof Gold, another area which Doug's graphs show as having done well over...
I agree with Treashunts 'scientific' (smiley) analysis and conclusion on why he thinks this coin is fake. Here is an authentic ( at least I...

Thanks Ripley, I just try to hit fields and places located close to cities and towns. Everything around here is so old and so thickly populated...
Its what I thought then: I would not buy such a coin, the damage is beyond threshold for me. Consider also the coin is listed approx. 50 % over...
I was researching listings for the 1872 CC Quarter and came upon this one in a prominent dealers inventory certified by PCGS VG8....
That is a nice selection of US gold coins. PS- don't we all wish we had bought some gold 'back then' when it was a lot cheaper...
There are strict rules concerning where to detect, and they do vary from state to state: as a general rule, stay well away from any historically...
It was quite unspectacular really. I found these along a footpath in a forest where 10-12 years ago I had already found a Vitellius denarius....
The gods were merciful this time. After a fairly long spell with no interesting finds, I was very fortunate to find these a few weeks ago, under...
Definitely, I had to pay over retail for this F15 at Heritage. However, the point is that the price differential v.s the 1844 does not reflect...
