It's a beauty for sure. I'm thinking 67. Looks like an MS67 I once owned, at any rate.
Hi, and welcome. Does it stick to a magnet? The 2-franc coins struck for Allied-occupied Belgium were struck on leftover steel cent blanks. As...
I also voted "8" in the poll, by the way. I try to be objective, but due to owner bias, the coins in my primary collection seldom rate less than...
Roman Empire: billon reduced centenionalis; VRBS ROMA city commemorative, ca. 330-340 AD [ATTACH] Obverse: VRBS ROMA, bust of Roma left in plumed...
No, I remember what I was thinking of now. It was not my coin. I happened to be standing nearby in a British potato field when one of my metal...

They're still looking grainy and of rather low resolution, but the last few are an improvement. The Indian cent picture is almost serviceable. I...
I recently bought several big 5-kopeck pieces from the 1700s on eBay and did notice that there were a number of obvious fakes being sold. I don't...
No, it merely means that you need to focus more on the coin than what the label says, because there are substandard coins in TPG holders too. The...
Same way as coins still get lost. But bigger silver coins like half dollars are rather scarce finds, because they often got seen on the ground...

VG details, polished.
Excellent. Thank you.
