This is definitely not a coin. It is probably a commemorative medal.
That is a good example of the 1807, JR-1, only variety for the year. I agree a grade of G4 is correct with a strong obverse for the grade. The...
Amazing cherry-picks can still be made in Europe with U.S coins, and coins from other areas. It is probably less now than when I started in the...
Incredible find! Considering that recent research indicates that the 'Continental Dollars' may in fact be of European origin, it is not...
That is a very nice example! In case you are interested, it combines obverse 3 (same obverse as my example), with reverse E.

@halfcent1793 ,thank you very much for posting the link to this detailed and interesting statistical study.

The Sheldon 103 LIHERTY variety Draped Bust Cent is a favourite of mine. Would love to upgrade my low grade example. Among Capped Bust Dimes:...
Interesting. It would interest me to know how did you arrive at the 10:1 ratio of surviving C-1's compared to C-2's. I too have observed the C-2...

Than you, Randy!

Duchy of Hessen, Zwey Gulden 1848. Only 2 are known to exist. Only one recorded sale at 6800 euros. Flea-market buy at the equivalent today of...
