Catalog prices can be a good starting point, but to figure out a coin's true value, you have to see what similar quality pieces are actually...
The surfaces on the obverse make me think the coin is a low to mid AU. It seems like this is a coin that Krause greatly overvalues. Here are a...
My take on this, as someone who focuses on circulating coins, is that if an entity (plausibly) had coins issued for circulation, then that entity...
Unfortunately, my scanner is having issues so have to show these the old-fashioned way. Got a few new Indian notes. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] A current...
I don't have much more info than you've already found. It's a nice example if you can get the gunk off of it. Not particularly valuable despite...
