I have the gold $5 - I don't generally like modern issues, especially not commems, but this one just 'hit right' for some reason. I bought it for...
Extremely suspect in every way - I suspect that these are the same individual, and that they are playing the 'why would anyone ever fake a damaged...
These, as well as other 'model' coins were produced by Joseph Moore of Birmingham from the 1840s-70s. These coins were meant to be more practical...
This series (1d, 2d) of copper coins, struck in 1797 by the Soho mint on new steam presses became known as 'Cartwheel' coinage owing to their...
Nice example, these Pennies circulated extensively, and certainly come much worse than this... Now you just need its big brother ;)
Agreed with above in this particular case re them being counterfeits (for me the lathework looks all wrong), but just dropping a note that heavily...
The above 6d is made from .925AR (sterling silver). Yours will be Cu-Ni, as the currency was debased following both World Wars - firstly to...
Very difficult to say - my personal preference is for the off-cantered example, and I believe that dedicated collectors (using the Haffner guide)...
Looks good to me - my understanding is that the edges were rolled prior to striking. Also, as for the diameter discrepancy, the flan would expand...
I would tend to agree with your attributions. It was not at all unusual in the low countries to reuse flans. This period was turbulent for the...

Crazy - within a couple of hours of posting the above, I actually ran across a previously unrecorded edge variety on a Scottish Conder token...
As a dealer with over 15 years in the industry (not to mention the fact that I started out as a collector before that), I can tell you that...
Both - There is a Russian trading on this platform (at best / at worst, a Russian on a Russian Controlled platform) making problems about payment...
I live in Poland... hence my bias, but this screams of sanction subversion, and if this is a Russian counterparty - DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM....
As a dealer, I have had to assess in bulk for some time. Sometimes (as in this case), I just have an initial gut reaction of 'that is off,' and...
Also feels like non value-added self-promotion...
Die erosion from overuse, as quoted from myself above.
From what I see, none of the imaged coins will carry any sort of premium for tone.
I would describe it as 'die erosion' - from my understanding this is a die issue, and not a plating issue. Chips are also a common occurrence on...
