I would go for late 18th/early 19th century certified type coins in lower circulated problem free grades. For example a Liberty Cap half or large...
Isn't that less than melt to begin with?!!!
I once picked up a Swiss 5 franc piece from a junk bin. It definitely wasn't a bad deal considering the exchange rate.
How about letting all of the candidates advertise on coins? A Trump quarter with a border fence for example lol... Perhaps we could then limit...
It probably rubbed up against a lot of 2 reale pieces as well, because "2 bits" was a lot more common denomination than a federal quarter in those...
Yours is definitely more rare even though it's price is the same as mine. That type is high on my list. There just aren't that many problem free...
Not sure if it's fake but it definitely is harshly cleaned.
Here's another 57th Street rarity, with a fine pedigree destined to go down in numismatic history lol... (Scratches are on the slab.) [ATTACH]...

It seems to me that Canadians are more conservative overall when it comes to grading. For example, I have a large cent graded VF by ICCS that...
At least it's not as dangerous as counterfeit vodka. It won't make anyone go blind. I can still remember seeing a bottle of Stoli in a Moscow...
Something about the word "novelty" doesn't sound quite right to me. Why not use "replica" or "copy"? It's almost like the seller is telling 90...
Since I don't use sniping programs I am almost always at my computer when auctions end. Therefore I pay immediately. This is good etiquette but...
20c piece was the first to come to mind. I wouldn't have guessed the reason without the previous post but it makes sense.
Okay, I'll give my feedback on the farthing. I think it's got serious eye appeal and I don't have any 18th century coppers that are better, bigger...
Whenever I open up an auction listing and see "reserve not met" I move on to the next one. Either start the auction at the minimum price you are...
