We were trying. Anyway, it's still unclear to me whether the 84-CC VAM 7 was used as a pattern for a die ("yikes!") or if the coin was used to...
A large part of the mintage was likely melted, and the rest entered circulation, making attribution a little more difficult.
What is unclear from the article is whether this is a struck counterfeit or a sandwich coin alteration made from a genuine 84-CC VAM 7 obverse and...
I recently expanded my Prime Number Date Set with this 1483 Bausche from the Jülich-Berg Duchy. The date is in Roman numerals in the inner circle...
Another reason that MS60 is not commonly assigned is because it's not a common grade. Most uncirculated coins that haven't been futzed with are...
Here's my PCGS Showcase Set. I don't have this or the 1693 shilling in it yet, though.
It's dated 1483 in Roman numerals on the inner ring on the reverse (MCCCLXXXIII starting at about 8:30). It is a Bausche of Wilhelm IV of the...

Typical best practices of coin buying include wondering about authenticity before purchasing. I hope you can get a refund.
4B. None of the pictures show the clashed I, but the rim cud shows up only on VAM 4B. Also, there's a mess of clashing in front of Liberty's...
Yeah, I don't think I'm buying that without an XRF machine at my side.
When I load up a Dansco, I remove the obverse plastic slide, then press the coin up against the reverse slide using gloves so that I don't leave...
Genuine, but cleaned.
I have a Dansco for my plain old uncirculated ASEs. Nice heft when it's full of silver.
He's lucky it wasn't full of Ikes.
I was comparing proofs against proofs. The dollar coin lettering is in the same "small letter punch" style as the circulation coins, although...
CoinFacts and other online auction prices realized will tell you at a glance how likely it is that this situation applies. See a lot of recent...
While they could have spent more effort decorating the edge, it looks better than the edge lettering on the current dollar coins.
