10 roubles. 22.6 mm versus the 21.6 mm of a US half-eagle coin. 8.6 grams versus 8.3 grams for the US coin. So yeah, pretty close.
I think it's PMD (post-mint damage).
This is a giveaway on the Collectors Universe forums for a flashy ICG MS64 1922 Peace dollar. Details on that thread. Since I do most of my...
I need a Fugio. The only one I've ever owned was a $30 holed and corroded example. That looks like a nice AU coin to me. Weird how much I've...

Yes, you'll likely get more responses in World Coins, though there's nothing wrong with posting these where you did in the general Coin Chat...

Keep 'em beepin', @paddyman98! I'm waiting for that first gold coin to pop out of the sod for you! Keep at it long enough, and I feel like it's...
Now, to address the topic in the title. What has been your most memorable numismatic experience? I’ve had a number of exciting adventures in my...
You do that, and take out your phone and show me this post to remind me, when we meet. It’s a free lunch voucher. On me. Even at the...
HHH. Secret ancient code. ;)
Hm. The story is too sketchy on details to be of any lasting interest to me. PS- the plastic prop coins in that screenshot are ridiculous....
It would be practically impossible NOT to- and I suspect it will remain that way for a very long time. Maybe for the remaining lifetime of this site.
Yeah, I reckon it looks more like pocket wear to me.
Good question, and I think it's certainly a relevant topic to the hobby. I don't see anything wrong in discussing tariffs in general. Maybe even...
