How expensive is it to separate copper and zinc in the smelting process?
It almost looks like an S/S error, but I don't see anything like that listed in the Redbook. If they could screw something up during the war, they...
Isn't 24k 100%? So, 22k would be 91.667% (not a big difference, but certainly significant on a larger medal or coin).
So, this appears to have a Constantinople mint mark, but the date of AH1123 (1711AD) doesn't really make sense. That falls between the ascension...

I'm not as familiar with this series as I could be & was wondering if I've ID'ed this coin correctly. The date is odd - the first 3 digits are...
Hmm. Haven't had any luck finding those at local libraries or at a price I'm looking to spend. Any other reference recommendations?
The US made coins for the Philippines territory and commonwealth from 1903-1945 (when they were part of the US). They're beautiful coins & have a...
I think the opportunity cost is what you need to consider. Even if you have 40 years to wait, wouldn't you achieve even more appreciation with...
