I looked up the 1883-O that @IBetASilverDollar posted -- I didn't dare guess what people are willing to pay for generic dime-a-dozen US coins...
Yowzers...methinks the asking price a bit aggressive! :confused:
I hope you don't mind me posting a medal with a map. This one is pretty darn cool (in my biased opinion). ;) [IMG] [IMG]
In my opinion, the 1909 VDB is not worth grading/slabbing unless you have some sentimental reason for such. These are readily available nice (and...
I have largely stayed away from ancients. There are hundreds (probably thousands) of ancient coins with horses -- I'd have to learn a lot before...
Here are two coins that I added in 2016, both relatively difficult to find in MS. The 1929 Czech coin is among my favorite in my set. Both of...

I have only one example of a porcelain piece in my collection. I'd personally call this one a "store card" of the sorts meant for advertising...
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Because the token posted by the OP @jlblonde is indexed in Dalton and Hamer, it is considered a Conder...
The term "Conders" usually refers to tokens issued from 1787 to around 1804. More specifically, anything that made it into the Dalton & Hamer...
Horses pulling quadrigae have been depicted in that way since ancient times. :cigar:
I don't get it... :rolleyes:
PCGS likes to use the "SP" (specimen/special) strike designation on medals of this era. I don't agree with the designation, but it doesn't really...
I took advantage of the 10% eBay coupon last week, and picked up this medal from Atlas. It's my first numismatic purchase for quite a long while,...
I don't even see a SINGLE full step, let alone the 5 required by PCGS for their (2nd rate) designation. :cigar:
An old silver coin (I'm talking 1700s and early 1800s) with original surfaces will ALWAYS lose some of it's oxidized original lustrous surfaces...
