Strike - Unfortunately, the strike on this one isn't great - there are a lot of heavy planchet marks across the whole coin. While they are...
Thanks! I hadn't been spending as much time here lately as life has been busy. Interesting read.
I'll be honest, I really, really don't like this book and don't see a need to buy any version of it, updated or not. In my opinion, it ranks down...
So you are saying those 5 coins are all counterfeit? Have you found the source coins for them, or are these a part of the families you've already...
These are the Victoria's I had: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I used to, but I've since sold that set. There is not a really good book solely dedicated to shillings, but the standard reference is Spinks...

Yes, that looks like DDR-009 to me. There are a lot of proof 63 DDRs, and they are all fairly similar. The easy diagnostic on this one seems to be...
If you're trying to sort through and re-sell it... your price has to include your time to go through it. Figure out what you think you can get...

I am not familiar with those coins, and I don't know what auction house that is - but those "estimates" are just barely above the starting points....
As a fully vaccinated person, I won't even consider going to a show where masks are required. I'll wait to see what FUN 2022 rules are, but if...
Cool! Good luck, you might find something neat. Where did this come from? It appears fairly recent, as I see at least one Euro-denominated coin in...
Ah, boo. I definitely prefer the show in the West Hall vs the North or South Halls. Either way, Rosen Centre is definitely the closest to all of...
As a Morgan Dude, I'm really surprised and disappointed that your first reaction mentioned seemed to imply it was just a regular harshly cleaned...
Because in the hot and humid environment, they tended to tarnish very quickly (and often quite unattractively).
Not necessarily. This is similar to the weight - if there is a visible seam, it is definitely counterfeit. But if there is no seam, it doesn't...
Cast counterfeits can come in any weight. It depends on what metals they used to make it from. Just because the weight is right doesn't mean the...
Separate names with a comma.
