Wow! Magnificent!
If give a MS66 (unless the lines that look like a 1 and an A to the left and right of the one of the 1/2 are graffiti, then UNC details) AU55 AU...
If it is already in a slab, I’d just leave it in the slab! The newer slabs let you see the edge better and it’s always free to unslab (and costs...
That is very interesting! If it took 8 sous for a hl, today that would make 1 sous as roughly $1.80 according to the wheat story. If there wasn’t...
That stag ducat is wonderful. It suddenly strikes me how rare deer and stags are on coins.
The design and the concept is great. But is it just me that at first glance - it looks like Britannia is checking her phone? As for the monetary...
These were re struck in rather unknown amounts in the 1950-1980 time frame in India - mostly (or all?) in Mumbai - by the mint using the old...
The 3rd is Indian - a 1/5th rupee from Bombay (East India Company) - early 18th century. I can’t find the date on the coin, but maybe I don’t know...
Coin#1: Its actually a standard silver Indian bullion piece and would probably weigh in at either 5, 10, 20 or 50 grams. They are sold by most...
I’ve observed for the last 2-3 years that coins that are not the upper end of their type (not year) for world coins have been quite soft. For...
I’d guess with 64 or 65 on the 1st coin. The reverse, with your luster description would probably merit a 67 or even a 68, but the obverse has a...
Yup, 2001/2002. The VS calendar system is easier than the Islamic system to deal with since VS minus 56 and a half gives you the two years across...
Wow - that rouble certainly beat its estimate. What makes that particular pattern so valuable?
I have done two such from them about 2 years ago. For a British AU/UNC George V Random Year sovereign, I got a 1924-P (technically Australian)...
These are lovely coins! Assuming they have continuous luster, they would fall within the 62-65 range in US grading. (The angle you have used with...
Very nice! Which mint makes these?
Loved coin B, until I saw the graffiti on it... And it kind of resembles a swastika... Whatever it is, coin B will not get a straight grade... I...
You have the pictures of the coin upside down. The coin is definitely Aurangzeb due to the year lll^ (AH 1118 or 1706/1707AD) You'll have to find...
1912-1936 1/4 Rupees from British India can be had at close to spot even in high grades if you find them.. (91.7% silver, 2.91 gms)
hehe, I had one who said - "I thought this was another auction! I panicked since there were just 10 seconds to go." Another one once said...
