Multiple strikes. Again and again.
I am certainly no expert, especially when it comes to distinguishing who made 1861-O haves. From what I have read, these are distinguished by die...
I'm ignorant here. What does this mean?
The second T in TRUST also shows doubling. I really like the coin! As for why it went 125 years without being reported, that's easy. Few of...
MS65, not FBL. I'm not a fan of toning of any sort. If it didn't come from the mint that way, it's just a form of environmental damage, whether...
I, too, have long had a fascination with farthings. Here are some of my low-grade examples.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I love your pennies! And I love bargain bins! This is not my best Victoria penny, but it is one I like because I found it in circulation while a...
Very nice! I particularly like the encased stamp. I've had a fondness for fractionals since my pre-teens (early 1960s) when I purchased a 3-cent...

I understand the ratio is the same, but the absolute weight in your pocket is not, which is why I dump most change in a basket. A nickel, a...
One of the problems with buying fakes for study is that while the genuine coin will have only a few variables, things like weight tolerances and...
Of course the end of circulation for halves came over a period of years, but I think the time differed by region. My dad was a small town banker...
Perhaps it means the coin is basically white but has light toning.
I had assumed you meant This was a modern counterfeit. So are you saying this one is a contemporary counterfeit? Would that be like the man who...
If 800 spade was never issued, would this be a counterfeit or a fantasy issue? Totally ignorant here, so just wondering. I don't know how a...
I would not mind receiving any of these for free! I picked the Seated Liberty dollar simply because I don't have any seated liberty dollars. I...
Congratulations! I never found one, even though my after school job was wrapping coins at a local bank in the early 1960s, so I looked through...
