I'm trying to remember - didn't some of the "loyal" Spanish colonies use counterstamps like that on coins from breakaway Republics? If memory...
Can you post a scan? What are the diagnostics?
I love the design on all of those Philippine pieces. Is that one of the 1944 or 1945 'bulk' mintings? It's a shame, but those end up in silver...
There were several medals made as far back as the 19th century that proposed universal trade units of silver. One well known series is the 1896...

It depends on the state, but there are some states where your statement is not true. If a home invader does not have a weapon in evidence, you can...
After reading the thread, I got curious and picked up 2 rolls of half dollars at my local bank. Oddly enough, both rolls were entirely...
