It may be stretching the point a bit, but on the matter of a "mark of value" could not the recognized design of the coin itself be the mark of...
That then brings up the question are Sealand coins coins?
I tend to feel just the other way around. If my heirs want to make sure they get the most for my collection then they are going to have to do...
Thanks Highlander, I knew about the Abon Cards and Coins and SGS connection but I did not know the connection between AGS and SGS. Today AGS only...
The acetone will not remove the verdigris but it will remove most other contaminates, and will ensure that the coin is dry. Verdigris requires...
I can't see any evidence of doubling in the picture but the center of the D is filled by a nice die chip. Unfortunately these have little...
That is caused by a sinking of the die around the edge. It can often be found forming a raised "hill" around the edge of the coin just inside the...
I must be missing something because all see is a cent with poorly formed rims probably due to low pressure striking. I don't see anything here...

I have a few of the larger denomination (5 dollar and up) NCLT pieces they have issued and I have two full sets of the small denomination (5, 10,...
The picture isn't the clearest but it definitely looks like die deterioration doubling caused by a severely worn die.
That is pretty much the difinition that I use. (Also note that it doesn't say anything about it aving to be legal tender.) And by that...
I like that, a glowing endorsment that doesn't really say anything. It could be true no matter how many or how few of them he has bought.
The 3 isn't really filled in, the digit is not as frosted as the rest of the devices so when the light scatters on the rest of the digits and...
For all practical purposes it is finished since my main focus was the draped bust and I am very unlikely to get any more of them. but in building...
One thing they don't tell you there is that you can only downgrade your account one time. So if you accept a credit card payment a second time...
Separate names with a comma.
