@ksparrow - what’s the grade? That one looks to be 65 at least.
A big hole filled! COINgratulations!
Thank you. Yes, I was just brought in here when someone flagged a moderator. Get back on track, or we will be forced to lock or remove this...
Good morning. It is Sunday, February 22nd. Today we move into the quarters. Our type today is the Capped Bust Quarter (1831-38). This is the...
Thanks, I wasn’t sure on that.
The early Soviet piece is cool. I don’t know what was going on with 5-centesimi pieces in early 20th century Italy (why that denomination in...
PS- it’s actually not a bad idea. I guessed a few from the pictures, but had no clue on others. I’m not really up to speed on my modern...
I reckon that’s perfectly fine. “Just for fun” works. Nothing says there has to be a material prize for contests here. The one rule I can think...

Hmm. Which makes me wonder even more about foreign planchets.
Regarding the coin in the OP: what about foreign coins? Does the US Mint still strike 1-centavo pieces under contract for Panama, or is that...
I did not know (until now) that the 2009 commemorative Lincoln cents were struck in bronze and were not Zincolns. There are a great many gaps...
Wow, high praise indeed. Thanks.
That is truly bizarre. That “NEA” seller of the first coin in the OP is definitely one to avoid. I dunno if he’s just lazy, or crooked, or both,...
Separate names with a comma.
