You took that sobering news rather well. Good on you, mate. ;)
You're not the Clio that everyone on the Ancients forum talks about, by any chance? :nailbiting: If so, this stuff must be chump change to you......
Nicely done. I completed the entire Irish predecimal series, including the 1943 halfcrown, but lacking only the 1943 florin, in the three Dansco...
That's a pretty impressive conservation. I flunked chemistry in high school, FWIW.
55-58 was what i was thinking, too.
Currency works. We've got a paper money forum here, after all. I know doodley-squat about the stuff (other than the notes I spend) but it seems...
I'll only need one for my collection, so there will be an extra slabbed example available when they come back from Newport Beach several weeks...
1959 Esperanto 10-steloj. ("Steloj" = star, or stars, in... Esperanto.) I'm sending that coin and one other almost identical UNC off to PCGS...

Oh- and how neat that it's the inverted date. That detail had escaped my notice, but now that it has been pointed out, I can see that as clear as...
There is an opinion I would respect when it comes to half dimes. You might say they are @Paddy54's affliction. ;)
I can tell you straight off that that coin is not worth the expense of sending off to be graded. Here's the PCGS Photograde page for Buffalo...
This, though not even necessarily cleaned with copper cents. I've dug nickels that were that color out of the ground, and stained that coppery...
It does appear to be weakly struck, though I couldn't say why. I think it's a solid AU.
It's an unusual item, for sure. Might have been used as an ornament on something.
Merged the two duplicate threads about the same coin.
