It is a nice, wholesome example of a 19th century coin. The grade would in the VF-25 or 30 neighborhood. These coins generally come nice because...
I’m not so sure about the investment part. First, as you said, it is a piece of exonumia. In the world of U.S. coins, $16,000 is not that much...
I think that ultra Cameo Proof example would sell for a good deal more than $3, but the run of the mill pieces are not worth any more than that.
The more expensive one is corroded. I guess they think you should pay extra for that.
This piece is rare in gold, but it's quite common in copper. It was struck by the Philadelphia Mint in connection with a parade that the city held...
It appears to be post mint damage to me and not worth a premium. Sorry.

I sold that 1903 some years ago. I think that it was an MS-64. NGC graded this one as an MS-65. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A screaming AT coin and a shocking price.
I vote counterfeit. Unless it’s the photo, everything about the details of the design appear to be a bit off. The over her ear looks to be too...
Fremont ran for president twice. The first time, in 1856, he was the first Republican presidential candidate. Like all 19th century presidential...
It’s really impossible to give you an accurate answer to a question like this from photographs. The grading gets to be so precise when you get to...
