They could due to the coin being struck with a rusty die. That will sometimes leave small spheres on the surface. But I wouldn't really expect it...
I tried to explain it in such a way as to make it clear that this is just me - just my personal opinion - and nothing else. As I said - even the...
Austria - Silver 6 Kreuzer 1848A KM #2199 Weight 2.23 gm., .4280 silver, ASW .0306 oz These were struck only in 1848. KM...
Your comment is one that many people would make. Of course it is based on the assumption that because it was what seems like a long time ago that...
OK, got me curious now - where are you looking for these prices ? From Aug 3 to Jan this year Heritage has - $195 - $184 - $230 - $172 -...

Hard to say what site you saw, but it depends on what scale you want to use. NGC says that for a coin to rate DMPL you have to be able to read a...
The Morgan, if genuine, is worth about $200, the 3 cent nickel maybe $20. Other than that, nothing worth mentioning.
Howdy bluedog - Welcome to the Forum !! When you say the reverse is upside down, what exactly do you mean ? The reverse is supposed to be...
They didn't sell those by the box. They only sold the regular business strike coins by the box.
It's not rediculous at all, that is the going rate for them in an ICG slab - and at that they are overpriced. There is one primary reason that...
