As Mark says, no matter what kind of holder that 1795 half is in, it is a very nice and appealing coin! And, in spite of what the holder may...
That is a nice representative coin, and with nice original toning. Nice one! And that about not specially rare is all relative isn't it. A...
Thanks H.T! So you would you go as high as F12/15 on the C-2? (and thanks for the attribution btw). B&M agrees, but their grade seems a little...
Here are two coppers from B&M auctions: the 1795 large cent is the common variety S-76b rated R-1. It has a few ticks on the bust, but overall...
I agree with the advice given here. Be double cautious because of the area you live in. BUT don't give up. I was faced with the same problem...
You guys are good, really good. B & M graded this VF 30 in 1988. (No net grade due to defects mentioned though). Thanks!
Here is a coin i showed you some time back, but these are much better (not perfect, still slightly out of focus!) pictures which bring out the...
Well i am comparing your 1806 to my 1807 graded Anacs EF 40, and i would say based on that your 1806 is close, to but not quite EF40. I am tending...
Thank you all, i am glad you find these Celtics interesting. Like most of you, Celtic coinage (and their history as well) is an area i had not...
After many years of focusing solely in Roman coinage (as far as ancients are concerned), I am just now starting to discover the coins of the...
Jello, as you mentioned this is a commemorative referring to the 100th anniversary of Peru's victory Beating off the Spanish Fleet in 1866, when...
Here is my Feuchtwanger. The 7 of the date is curious, it looks like a fat "1" instead of a 7. Like Brad, i hope one day to be able to add a...
Hi 900, thank for your entertaining report on this, the Mecca (or Jerusalem) for copper enthusiasts. I won't say wish I was there and sad that...
I agree with the advice to exercise care here. Rare coins have always attracted coin forgers. Is this the coin you are considering: Compare...
Thank you very much Randy. The obverse legend is exactly as you describe for the As: IMP NERO CAESAR AVG GERM (I made a mistake, this is...
I received this coin as a gift a little while back. Is there any reason to doubt its authenticity? I have checked many similar in CoinArchives...
Thank you very much Arizona Jack for your reply. That is a pity, i will not be able to get it slabbed then. I hope, however, that this is a coin...
Jacer, its happened to me too. It is perfectly normal if you have a hobby you are passionate about, like we all are about coins. You are not alone!
I agree, and i would do it but living in germany makes this difficult. Do you guys happen to know if there is a trustworthy dealer in the Boston...
I am basically a copper guy, but i was looking at some of my early silver today and decided to take new pictures of this old lady. She's got charm...
