If they've been cleaned it's not apparent to me Mark, but the pics aren't the best like coppertop says. To pay this kind of money for a set like...
Hey Ripley, I like your coins, but I'm not so sure about your "shot and a beer" method of ID'ing them. You do know that the four coins you posted...
I did some serious research on the lead you gave me yesterday furham, and have decided that this counterstamp was likely issued by your Pawtucket,...
Good to have you here Ed. We really do need a decent picture so we can comment on authenticity, grade, value, etc. Bruce
I agree with chridular RaceBannon, Large Cents. Personally I love the old coppers and don't care particularly for the Barbers, but you may feel...

It's a bit far for you to travel Hunter, but maybe someday you can get up this way. Looking forward to meeting you. Bruce

Thanks for the info vette. I know a beehive is a Mormon symbol, but didn't know the lion had any significance. Does anyone know what the symbols...
