My guess is that it's PMD/corrosion, so it's the equivalent of a plating bubble. Probably not worth much.
Makes me wish I was collecting back in the days before there were 11 levels of uncirculated. You could really cherry pick for quality then!
I'd say somebody got bored and hit it with a hammer, then scratched it with a knife a few times.
The Morgans both look ok to me as far as authenticity. I'm tempted to guess the reverse has environmental damage (I can't really tell, but it...
I think, given the wear and possible environmental damage (maybe it was buried?), 2.9 grams is reasonable. They are supposed to weight 3.11...
I don't know much specifically about currency, but I do know prices in guides like the Red Book tend to be somewhat high. You're better off...
I'd just want to make sure they got a good home, so I picked friend/club/coin forum.
Pretty funny, guys. :) Back to the topic... are there any decent Eid Mar replicas worth owning? I'm not rich enough for the real thing. :(

Nice Bugs Bunny. :)
Everybody has to start somewhere! My first IHC was an 1863 that came out of the ground. :)
Thanks! These tokens are not incredibly rare (typically one or two come up on eBay every 3 months or so), but they're hard to find nice looking....
That coin is just absurdly beautiful, especially the reverse. I can't find a thing to dislike about it!
Looks generally accurate for MS coins to me, if by "big jump," you mean relative/percentage jumps rather than absolute jumps. Within that rough...
Believe me, I do. I'm from one of them. Even where I live now, a metro area of 7.5 million people, I still haven't been able to find a truly...
Dear eBay coin sellers, Please, please, please list your coins in the correct category. I understand certain coins might fit under multiple...
I'm not a big ancients collector by any means, but I would say the way to get started is the same as with any type of coin: read online, buy some...
Well, I did it. :) The price was right, the detail is there, and the seller says the tokens are a brighter brass color than the pics indicate,...
