48 year old coin from the FM: [ATTACH]
As I had to remove coins from the 1976 Specimen set because of oxidation spotting to some of the coins. I really hated breaking up the original...
CK on the money IMHO as usual. These will have no melt value as they are copper nickel. I tried a reduction reaction that will remove superficial...
You will notice some corrosion on the 5 and 10 dollar coins especially and think I will have to break apart the set and conserve as best as...
Recently, I located this set from the defunct Franklin Mint and nearly missed it. The FM secured contracts for coinage from several Caribbean and...

Although not an especially loved series, here is a coin that might just be the best of Great Britain’s George V shillings. It is still considered...
John did you do an XRF on that coin as I've not found any 1937 crowns in sterling? In my experience both the proofs and uncirculated are 0.500...
Don’t see the wear you speak off, this at considerable blow up: [ATTACH] Look up registry sets on PCGS site. The best shown seem to be all 64s..

This coin gotten a couple years ago in slab. This from eBay - I have searched for better examples of 20th century pre-decimal GB crowns, and these...
