Interesting discussion guys. I took a look at my '77 which is in about the same grade as the OP, and it also shows some weakness on the top...
The picture is much too small to assess properly what it is, but it SEEMS to be a GOLDGULDEN from one of the german states. Look here:...
Those two are quite appealing Mark (and I am not just being nice). Well chosen.
Nice Coin! That is a nice Landscape Colonial Kaz, Congratulations. It is a beautiful colonial coin, with the sun peeking over the Vermont...

Gopher, I agree with you - one needs to define exactly what is meant by "scarce". I.M.O it is a factor of at least parameters: how many people...
Judging from the pictures I grade the coin VF30-VF35. I cannot see that coin grading AU, ever, there is just too much wear on the hair. Also,...
See, I was right, it was the "5" that has been messed with. Seriously now, what is the "EAC Yahoo" group? Is that a forum for discussion...

I am Glad I Listened to Dave Bowers Advice in 1986.... Besides Proof Gold, another area which Doug's graphs show as having done well over...
I agree with Treashunts 'scientific' (smiley) analysis and conclusion on why he thinks this coin is fake. Here is an authentic ( at least I...
My Opinion? I've gotta git me one of them cameras! Nice photo 900, and the coin is not so bad either.
They look OK to me. There are many so-called contemporary fakes of Lima and Potosi (like yours) colonial coins. But they have a softer, mushy...
Thanks Ripley, I just try to hit fields and places located close to cities and towns. Everything around here is so old and so thickly populated...
Its what I thought then: I would not buy such a coin, the damage is beyond threshold for me. Consider also the coin is listed approx. 50 % over...
