Thanks vavet. Glad you like this coin. Guys, here are some close-ups of the edge and reeding (its evening here and not much daylight left, so it...
Thank you Steve for your comments. I will try to take a close-up photo of the mintmark to see if that helps better determine the coin is OK....
I was just looking at a current eBAY listing which features an 1885-S dime with an altered mintmark (the coin is listed as such). This got me...
Congratulations! The fugio cent has a beautiful yet simple design with its intertwined links symbolizing the union of the states. A coin in VF 20...

I was finally able to realize one of my "numismatic dreams" last night. I bid on, and won a Santiago mint columnario 8 Reales dated 1768, (Assayer...
I agree with Cladking. In that condition the '55 G coin is worth about 2 euros (3$). In good VF about $20. Only the very top grades are worth what...
The 23 F, 5 Rentenpfennig minted in Stuttgart is a scarce coin, valued in german catalogues at 80-110 Euros in SS (Very Fine), about $ 150 today...

Well, i have checked all the 1803 reverses ressembling that of your coin, and the only one which really matches is, as you first mentioned, the...
your 1803 does not appear to be an S-257. The bases of "ER"should be very close together. In your example they are not. I will take a closer look...
Your 1802 is definitely a S-235 per my Breen book: "Curl point below B. Nine Berries. Leaf point at upright of D". Nice coin, rated high rarity 3....
I was recently able to find this 1796 cent, this time not in the U.S, but from a European source, and i really would like to hear your opinions...

My son and i went out detecting last weekend in an area we had never been to before, a large forest adjacent to a large town. The first 2 hours or...
Hello, the pin just says "German Luther's Day". Probably a pin to celebrate a day in honor of Luther the Reformer. Eduard
