Oh yes, I have dealers look at lots for me all the time. There are a couple of dealers I know and trust, and their in-hand evaluation of a coin...
So why did they not put the denominations on these coins? Was there a practical reason? Or a design reason? Was it just not required so they...
Wow. Good find. Looks to be the slightly more common torch privy mark, and in that condition is probably worth about $10.
The date is AH 1308, which would be 1890-1891 AD
Fantastic story about a very rare token!
Wow. That's a really good fake. Fooled me.
You can't have an E with doubling to the right and a P right next to it with doubling to the left. That's just not how hub doubling works.
I don't think the reverse is doubled. I see machine doubling, but I don't see hub doubling. And, the obverse is DDO-002. DDO-001 is not a proof die.
Sure, I understand that the steam press is a major change in technology. But to me, the series ends in 1838. Only my opinion, of course.
I have been away from the boards for personal reasons for a few weeks, and have apparently missed the first few in this series (although I do...

I don't understand their disdain for reeded edge capped bust halves. I can understand cutting it off at the Seated series, but RE CBH are really...
Since you already have the big ones, you should buy an original frame and crack them out. Return them to their rightful home!
Besides the early Lydian coins, were there many others made in electrum? Or is that the focus of the book? Any link to info on the book? Sounds...
The mint announced that they are changing release dates for some products:...
Spectacular post and magnificent coins. I don't own any of these, so I'll just sit and watch.
64 Luster appears strong, eye appeal is fantastic. There's a pretty large mark on the cheek, especially given how small the coin is. Very nice!
I agree with your thoughts on this one. This is definitely mint set toning - but the majority of the mint set toned examples have this look.
66 with those huge gashes? That's borderline details, damaged!
Eye appeal and luster are absolutely fantastic on that coin, of course. However, there is absolutely no possible way that coin should be a 67. I...
