Yup, they do. And some use shellac, lacquer, acrylics and even lucite. Of course it was far more prevalent years ago, but there are still those...
I rather think it's a fake coin. No 1895 Morgan that isn't a Proof has ever been seen. But it is supposed to exist.
We have had this discussion more times than I can count, and every single time the exact same things are said. Bottom line - gold tones. And...
For many parts of the world it was. In some areas, the colonial era continued well into the 1960's.
LOL ! Not laughing at you, just at the question. You see, only a fairly new member would ever ask ME such a question. That's because anyone who's...
Yeah, you and I may say that Bill, but there are a few million others who disagree. I rather doubt that the debate of what constitutes an error...
Jim you're too good at this :D OK, here's my take on the coin. Let's see if I can screw this one up as badly as I have the rest :p It has...
While all Morgans had the same amount of silver, our earliest dollars had a tiny bit more, .7737 oz ASW vs .7736 oz ASW for the later coins. The...
Only in dollar value. If you count the number of bills, the $1 far exceeds the $100.
In a general sense, pretty much every coin there is has been counterfeited at some time or another, from the lowliest cent to the most valuable...
No, you're not. According to this - C:/Users/DocUMint/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png - you are trying to upload .png files. And the board...
Well, let's put it this way. It's happened numerous times already. And it never really varies beyond what I have already said.
Yes, a dramatic increase in the spot price can increase and usually does increase the interest factor in coins. But that is a general sense only....
No idea what you mean by "missing chunks" and the pics are too small to see the coins. Care to explain ?
Yes, your coin was minted in London. That is indicated by no mint mark. Yes, the 1917 London sovereign is quite valuable, among the most...
I wasn't implying it was good or bad, or even an indicator. Merely suppling information.
Thad one of the big issues with writing books such as you suggest is that you have a very limited audience. That is because books, or pamphlets,...
What you're asking about is done by a few, but only a few. It entails a great deal of work and that's why only a few do it. I used to do it, but...
The only thing that adds value of any consequence is if it is a major error like being a doubled die that can be seen with the naked eye, no mint...
I agree Thad, but I still contend that a good portion of that green stuff is not verdigris, but PVC residue. That is evidenced by the fact that a...
Separate names with a comma.
