My nephew, now 17, never showed a single ounce of interest in trading cards or really in collecting anything. His parents and grandparents...
Entry Post Coin in Japanese is コイン I really want to go Japan and visit this coin shop: 銀座コイン はい、コインは大好きです！ Prize selection: 1, 12, 9, 3 (very...
Whoops... I missed this one. :p
Yes, the coin looks even better in the second pair of pictures. It's definitely a shiny and fabulous Walker. Still, I'm with Lord Marcovan on...
Given the damage, it's a little hard to tell, but I would guess either 1918 or 1919, by process of elimination of loopy-topped numbers.
Thank you! I forgot that I'm an NGC Member so I posted a question on their forums. The post is "pending approval," so we'll see what they say. I'm...
@Islander80-83 - THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!! WHAT A TREASURE!!!!! This may be one of my favorite threads of all time.
Hello, How do the grading services judge counterstamps? Would a coin like the one below, with a circular counterstamp left of reverse center,...
This is my favorite mutilated coin: a Lincoln cent of unknown year (I think it's a memorial cent based on what's left of the reverse) - if we join...

I think the US Mint did an excellent job with the Apollo 11 commemorative. I actually bought one. [IMG] [IMG]
They are very likely replicas and they have that "replica look." I think your instincts are correct. However, they appear to be pretty decent...
This link attempts an answer to that query. Is it correct? I have no idea. I have noticed when I've traveled to South America and parts of...
I'm really different from others here. I like the rounder types that circulate, or circulated, in monetary units.
I have heard that 令和元年, or "First year of Reiwa" coins will come out later this year. Similarly dated coins were issued when Hirohito died (as you...
Yes, you're right - that's a "6" not a "4" - that's what I get for hurrying. So it should be the 63rd year of Meiji, which is 1988, one year...
I try not to think about shield pennies... or cents... whichever way, I try not to waste neurons on them...
I agree with the "if you buy a problem coin then you have two problems" camp. Save a little more money for a nicer specimen. I'm guessing that the...
