They are. 1863 was the prime year for the CWTs. There are a number of 1864s also. The tokens were outlawed in the spring of 1864, but since they...
It can’t be a Civil War token because of the date. Aside from the Wealth of the South series, all Civil War tokens are dated between 1861 and 1864.
Why did kings Richard I (1189 to 1199) and John (1199-1216) continue to issue their British coins with their late father's (Henry II) name on...
65. It doesn’t have a ton of marks on Jefferson’s jaw.

Lucky you. I tried to get all 12 of the 1804 half cent die varieties, but could never find this one. I knew a couple of big collectors who had...
I owned half of 1793 Liberty Cap with another collector about 50 years ago. We paid $20 for it and sold it for $30. You can image how bad it was....
I have had a really nice 1794 cent for quite a while. The 1799 is probably something I will never acquire. This one was in Dan Holmes' collection....

Over time I am gradually building a date set of cents from 1793 to 2024. I'll probably never finish it, but it's fun to add a piece now and then....
Stephen, Ruled 1135 to 1154 “Stephen” is not the most common of male names, but during their nearly 1,000 year history of the modern British...
I collect British coins more for their history that anything else. I wrote this article, but when I finished it, I knew it was not suitable for a...
