That German piece is interesting. Just think- only a year later, and that eagle probably would’ve swooped down and picked up a swastika in its...
Agreed, so here’s an extra entry for @dwhiz as well. So far I don’t recall anybody actually winning from an extra bonus entry I put in for them...
I want it for @masterswimmer, too, so here’s an extra entry.
Anytime you have a coin with Arabic script and you need somebody to come and misread the date for you, just gimme a shout! ;)
Cost = 20 cents Value = 20 bucks (per the VCoins comparison) Sounds like a hundredfold win to me! :)
I see what you’re saying. I never took the time to browse Wildwinds on any of these, and do not own any printed references (RIC, et al).
Bingo! Nicely done! And I guess I misread the date on the one above. I have trouble with their 2s and 3s sometimes.
I agreee- 62 is a fair technical grade on the Guatemalan, but I stand by my earlier statement that it has MS65 eye appeal.
I was wondering if it was Ottoman or Indian. But I'm too far out of my depth. You might be right- it could indeed be a coin, of a type I've just...
Agreed. Good enough to keep, but not really worth more than a few cents over face value.
I've never seen that bird design before. It's delivering some kind of message. Makes me wonder if this isn't some kind of token or medal? I'm...
Of course this was a full penny. A silver halfpenny was a pretty small thing back then (and I don't think any were even made until later, with...
This one certainly appears to have a wider bust than the Round 1 coin? Round 1 [IMG] Round 2 [IMG]
Now we come to... ROUND 2. The prize is a second Roman bronze antoninianus of the emperor Aurelian. This one was struck between 270 and 275 AD....
That's cool. I would have been a little surprised PCGS graded it, until I noticed the X-number, and remembered it's in the Krause Unusual World...
Can't say I've seen many toner MTTs. I like the prooflike ones with contrast. They're really cool coins. One of the more appealing...
Thanks- I'm flattered. :) That's a great error coin. I opted to have a similar (D/S & O/C) type error in my collection, albeit a lot older and...
75-cent profit! Cool! And that right there was probably the biggest nail in the coffin of the Susan B. Anthony dollar. You'd think the Mint...
Always liked the Barbados (-oes) type, from the standpoint of historical curiosity, though they're a tad cringeworthy on the political correctness...
And a gorgeous ragdoll, too!
