well, i find the tone here relaxed in general, easy going and friendly. That is probably one factor which attracts many starting collectors. By...
It is probably just a coincidence, but i find it interesting that the guy running this suspect listing, and the guy from whom i won the 1844 dime...
Thank you GD, that is a very interesting site for reference. I never would have thought coins were dated as far back as the year 1234. My guess...
I think this is an interesting coin. It is a late mediaeval coin bearing a regular date. It is my earliest dated issue - a Goldgulden or Dukat...
Mark, my browser was not able to open up the thumbnail pics when i first tried. Now it works. Ok, so the 1820 10C is not a VF+ and it does have a...
Thank you everybody. I am glad you find the topic interesting. Early U.S coinage, Flowing hair, draped, or capped bust are definitely my...
1811 was only the second year that the new bust dime designs were minted, with the type being first struck in 1809. Only one die pairing is...
I like them all Mark - The pictures are a tad small to really appreciate the detail, but from what i can see that 1820 dime has got to be VF30+....
Very nice coin Garrett! If you always wanted one, that one has all the looks to please. I am sure you are very happy. Eduard

You are right there Leadfoot! But i like the half cents as well, they have a charm of their own those little half sisters. And, i have their big...
I have, and also bid on some lots. It's exciting to hear what is goin on in a bidding room half a world away!
Randy, those look pretty much like most of the ones i find metal detecting. Except i have to search hours on end and walk many more miles. So for...
Thank you GD. I think i will go ahead and give this a try. The Krause Coin catalogues are very pricey in Germany, so it makes economic sense to...
Does anybody know about this on-line coin resource site? They offer a years subscription to all of their on-line catalogues (and i guess general...
Thank you all, and thank you H.T for the attribution help! Eduard
The Flying Eagle design is one of my favourite U.S coin designs. There is something about it that captivates me. It is simple, yet elegant and...
Many of you may have seen the recent Exhibit post by Fisch on the die progressions of 1804 half cents. Excellent work! I leant a lot on a series...
Garrett, my feeling is that your coin is real. The appearance looks OK (but cleaned), as does the edge device. I have a few of these, and yours...
Thank you VERY much! This is very helpful. There are so many varieties of the NJ cents. (I was also intrigued by the lack of a visible date,...
