The first was hard to photograph but bought from a dealer in New York named Frank Shaskan (sp?) over 20 years ago. In hand it is wonderfully PL...
Ah yes I bought the 1848 Godless proof Florin from Spink (like the 1849 sort of) many years ago & have several other proofs. HOWEVER mint state...
That is a die crack at 3 o'clock reverse. I love this series and only regret that there are some real "stoppers" - the 1851 in proof only is...
A really nice coin, even better in hand that is scarce and probably as nice as you’ll see: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Sorry about the lint on holder & low...
Nice coin there! I've given up on MA - Shops as coins in my areas are WAAAAY overpriced.

I could not afford it outright so traded for the Paget 1926 Great Britain patterns for the upcoming six silver denominations, including the Peace...
LOL, well a personal museum of sorts. I only wish the seller had "dumped" them all at once because they went cheaply and then subsequent sales...
The first two look to be hubs that are used to create the dies and so have a positive image in relief, not recessed like dies, similar to the...
Here are a few to look at, first the obverse and reverse hubs of the One Centimo and then dies for the 1/4 and 1/2 Balboas, all dated 1982:...
Absolutely none. Wonder who is there grading?
Not as good as the 6th Edition & there were two editions of the 7th produced. One with appendix and citations of coins listed (or not) in the main...
Yes, I was so lucky to have gotten this as part of a lot - it may have been the presentation coins to the governor of the Central Bank and was...
None known. The bird side (reverse?) from 1978 - maybe they were thinking of going back to the same design of 1974-1978?
No! LOL....And there are TWO versions with one lacking the very informative index. Sad I got it as it was IMHO a waste if one already has the 6th...
I will go and check but by recall are listed in Krause and Schon (you should get a copy for backup reference even if the listings are a bit...
Note that NGC rejected this as a proof. LOL. I do not understand what criteria they use for designation or grading for that matter....
1853 OT type, much scarcer and really nice lustre. I believe this a proof as the 1853 proof pennies often come this way with the reverse darker...
Extremely poor rendition with very mushy detail and esp on the bird of paradise. Then banged about w some other coins most likely. Probability of...
As much as I love the Ws, they really are not "investment" coins. After the first set of decent looking coins, I think that might be it. They will...
Separate names with a comma.
