Mushy denticles on the obverse and significantly less wear on the reverse than the obverse. Details look more or less right to me, but I'm not an...
Crappies? :)
It depends how many of them and where they're located (for both hairlines and bag marks).
Very nice! I would gladly make this a part of my collection. :) Comparison with the host coin really illustrates one of the limitations of the...
[ATTACH] Here you go. KM# 1.1 1 Penni 1866 (Finland) :)
That's a neat coin! Looks like someone was asleep when they were punching the date. :)
I don't actually remember my first coin, because I got hooked by an old Redbook in my elementary school library. :) From there, I started filling...
I disagree. A lot of questions don't really have "best answers," and those that do are usually the very basic ones (e.g. stuff about cleaning coins).
This article provides evidence that the emperor Augustus was a coin collector, and speculation that collecting may have happened as early as the...

That's terrible. :( At least it's not one of the rarer years.
I would almost hesitate to call that a problem coin, based on the standards for coins of the era. Granted, I would rather trade better surfaces...
I don't mind reviving old threads. In some cases, for example, with the Sol Invictus thread that's been revived almost every year for like 6...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress: [ATTACH]...
Last show I was at, one of the dealers said the thing he was selling the most of that day was classic commems. Granted, he sold 3 or 4 of them to...
I believe this might reference the case you're thinking of. FTC v. Security Rare Coin & Bullion Corp, 1989.
I love how books on ancient coins basically never go out of date. :) Looks like a great haul for 2015! I especially like the series on Greek...
I think the price is quite realistic on the 1802. It's rarer than the more famous 1804, and another 1802 sold for $920K a few years ago. BTW,...
