Hmmm....somebody must have wanted it very badly. I guess i'm not that much of a copperhead after all - I never would have bid that high on that...
I can understand why you wanted this coin. It is very nice - 2 Reales denomination of an appealing type. Interestingly, looking in the SCWC...
Hi Bruce, I have found this link which goes into exhaustive into the reasons why the government of Guatemala resorted in 1894 to the practice of...
Yes, I have to agree. The Guatemala C/S on Peru Sols are not rare or even scarce. The only exception being if the host coin is an 1864 with the...
Wow, I have to say that is one heck of a coin..................1796 DBC's with smooth surfaces are rare - probably less than 1 in 10-20. I have 7...
Hi stebiz, your coin is a pretty scarce one, as much early Prussian gold is. This is an excellent site to find out what coins are really worth...
All nice coins everyone is showing, but nerarities, I have to agree, those are quite special. Congratulations.

Robinson put out a new edition (19th edition) dated october 2008, so that is a fairly recent and actual guide. It is interesting to go through...
Good luck in your quest; it will be fun. You should be able to locate one in the grade you specified, even if problem free specimens do not show...
Interesting topic. I certainly prefer the green shades of patina over dark or black patina, and also over "Tiber" or river patina. I have heard,...
Not that I am aware of. Never seen an 1822 10C cast from rusty dies. I've compared the OP coin with my 2 1822's and everything looks OK, save the...
Thank you, mat.
Nice standards everyone. I am still missing a Septimius Severus legionary denarius in my collection, but here is a Nero denarius with standards...
I agree, the Vermont Landscape motif is certainly an appealing one. Here is my example of the Ryder-8 variety with VERMONTENSIUM. It is a bit...
