I only have one but really like the series. How many and which ones do you have?
Agreed, a dollar or two.
The R most likely stands for replica, as no genuine coins have it. Ryder was the man who classified the different die varieties of Massachusetts...
If it is circulated it is worth fifty cents. If uncirculated it would depend on the grade, on the low end maybe a couple dollars.
I watch many more coins than I bid on. Sometimes it is just curiosity to see what it will go for. If I am thinking of buying a certain coin, I...
I wouldn't think there would be much if any added value for the die crack. Dies are used until they started showing signs of failure and then are...
No real set value, worth whatever you can get out of it. Often seen at flea markets and the like for a few dollars. I am sure an old car...
Great! Love to see some pictures of the other coins. Your friend is correct too, cleaning can really hurt the value of coins so it is best to...
Definitely a fake, the seam around the edge is a dead giveaway, this is where the coin was cast. An original struck coin would not have this.
Brushing copper coins was very common in the 50's and 60's and still may be. It was not wire brushing but using a very fine brush similar to a...
No, it is not an original. It actually doesn't appear to be one of the restrikes, it looks like a cast copy of a restrike.
Probably $60 to $65 for the fifty, so I would say you definitely overpaid.
Was a little confused when I saw "quater"! The quarter just appears to have been polished, could be plated as well.
Not fake, just a privately minted medal likely for the bicentennial.
Looks like a small die chip in the "D" mintmark, pretty common.
Maybe you meant 1899-o? If so it is not a very valuable coin in AU and would not be worth the cost of having it graded.
I have collected colonials for well over thirty years, and I just don't grade them. I look at surfaces, color detail and overall eye appeal but...
I agree, a picture might be able to answer the questions, or at least point you in the right direction.
Yes it is a fake. The Sommer Islands coins are quite rare and have been heavily copied.
I would read up on coins so that as you go through them you will recognize those that are more valuable than others and treat them accordingly....
Separate names with a comma.
