Might be nice to build a collection of U.S. made foreign coins. I might try it at the next coin show.
Trays as shown in "post #16" are all well and good for museums under glass. Drop one those trays and watch one or more of the coins slide/roll...
Tyrants collection maybe "weak" in silver and bronze but gold is where the EXCITEMENT is when it comes time to "show off" a coin collection....
Your eye sight must be spectacular if you found those without a loupe.
Why did the counterfeits, if they are, get put into genuine slabs? What do you know that the TPGs don't. Most major auction houses run EAC by one...
The reverse of the Peace dollar seems to be showing remnants of a "Clashed Die" underneath the eagle. Hopefully @messydesk will offer some...
Looks EF 40. Unless it's in a homemade slab and it looks to be in a legit TPG slab, I would have to think the coin is genuine. Without seeing the...
I wouldn't mind finding those as a gift anytime. Lots of fun ahead researching this gift . Keep us posted.
@panzerman Very nice piece. A strong strike for sure. I hope you and your family had a joyful Christmas.
I checked the CU forum and LM hasn't been there in 2+ weeks. It's been a week since he was active here. I'm sure that I speak for the entire forum...
Those are some really nice pieces. How about showing us some of the other pieces. Maybe a comparison between A, B, C toners. 1957 would be one I...
That's a good looking group of IHC. Maybe you can get him a Whitman folder and start a more organized collection that he can add to and admire....
I hope you have a Merry Christmas, John. Be safe in the New Year. tibor
I'm not sure what "high Medieval" is. For Medieval coins I can highly recommend the following: Jean Elsen, Kunker, Numismatic Nauman, Heritage...
On some purchases I've had to spend time in a "Time Out Chair". You did well. I did not realize that some of the State Park quarters were done in...
Great looking set. The early copper is really nice. Spent quite a bit of time looking at those. I wish I were as patient picking pieces for my...
Can someone enlighten me on the "Gonzaga" provenance.
The ink or paint numbers on coins are also on my many centuries old collections in Europe. When one comes up for auction or sale, many times the...
Its been a week since @panzerman shared his Al-Qahira mint Mamluk coin. A very nice piece for 1435/36 AD. Does anyone have a coin that can be...
Nice coin!! Make sure the staples are squeezed with a pair of pliers so that they do not damage coins that are close by.
