That was a guess I made not knowing the mintage. However, after looking at Krause I unfortunately see no reason to change the guess.
SP69 means that the coin is considered a specimen strike. This means a higher quality method of manufacture than an ordinary circulation strike,...
Brilliant Uncirculated is basically the same thing as Mint State, and since the item doesn't have a number, you can safely assume that it would be...
I like 'em. :) Keep in mind that war nickels are known for strong strikes, especially the D-Mints. Your '44-D is no exception, and I think...
Ancient coins are very cool. Roman 4th century bronzes are really common, but they're unusual in nice shape like that. I'm personally...
I can't comment on the Canadian coin, but the half dollar looks like it was struck through grease. That sort of thing is not all that uncommon,...
The release and promotion of the Statehood Quarter series. Brought tons of people into the hobby. The rise of the Internet and easily accessible...
It has the word "Copy" stamped into it; therefore it was never intended as anything other than a replica and has no value as a collectible. For...
It's not a coin, so it's probably worth only the value of the gold it contains. To be sure, that would probably be the case even if it were a coin. ;)
Man, when I first saw this thread, I thought I'd stumbled into the comics forum...:) Anyhow, the first true error I ever found in circulation...
Not a coin. Probably a medal (because of the size) or a jeton (because of the style or general lack thereof).
Keep in mind that some spanish coinage was indeed holed about as soon as it was made -- Guatemalan cob coinage comes immediately to mind -- and is...
Cool coins. They're a 50 Kopek piece (1894) and a Rouble (1892), respectively. Both are common dates, but both are silver and have some value for...
About Good because of the fact that the reverse rim is worn into the design. It would be considered a slightly better date in better grades, but...
I'm not sure whether this grades fair or poor, but in any event it's probably only worth a couple of bucks.
:goof::vanish: Ugh -- I should have noticed that the 1871 was not a trade dollar. Mea culpa.
Phonies are absolutely made with the proper alloy. Think about it -- if you have 38 grams of silver, do you want to sell it for melt, or do you...
They didn't make trade dollars until 1873. This is bad news for your 1871... The picture's small, but the 1875 looks fake as well, and if it's...
My favorite hobo...
Probably 63 PL, but it's really tough to tell whether it would get the designation with that obverse photo. It's not a DMPL. Just my opinion....
Separate names with a comma.
