Ah best be careful, good then. Like to protect fellow members. I have gotten some very nice bits from Eastern Europe and even Ukraine! Also,...
I can't tell if some of the marks esp on obverse to right of Balboa might be smudging or scuffing versus reeding marks (from bag? How many in a...
Here is a very rare coin with a recorded mintage of 11. It is the (U) uncirculated 1982 FM Balboa with the mule reverse (has the "Ley 0.500")...
I hope the coin is legit. IMO the reeding looks a bit suspect. Did you weigh it and try magnet test? Not saying it is not but am suspicious these...
Yes, l I think so. Thanks indeed! The other results were good as well.
The 1847 6d is probably the rarest EXCEPT the only known specimen is in the vf range with inscription carved into it - not known in unc.
Actually with all due respect the 1854 6d is much scarcer than the shilling of that date and about equal to the florin. They are just a bit...

Yes, a numbered proof #127. Coin is 14k/ 585 fine . I have had similarly graded coins go through the TPGs with no problems. The beauty of the...
I recently purchased this coin on ebay and did alright price-wise, possibly the reason why being the grungy appearance. So I bought the coin,...
You all are awesome. Actually a 64 but sitting pretty high (so far) in the census....
LOL, ok no fooling you Sir! Actually a nice coin but the picture makes it look like the streetcar ran over it.....Ok then, GTG, and I assure you...
Ok, this sixpence looks ok but something not quite right about it on the obverse, I can post the reverse if you like later. Tell me, oh readers,...
Indeed, I have been also the "trap door spider" on some of the British Honduras material also. Be entertaining to share stories no doubt...
This week I was pleased to receive two very nice coins that were fairly priced and yet relatively scarce and quite presentable. First, 1952...

One of my favorite short stories, but I like the coin as well. The pictures do not begin to convey the lustre of this beautiful piece, but here...
