Not bad for a metal detecting find! Judging by the lump of metal attached to the upper part of the top colon after "D" on the obverse legend, it...
I’ve never had an issue spending euros in certain shops in London. Obviously, the Pound is the local currency, but I’ve used USD and Euro almost...
Overall it is an attractive coin that seems solid for the grade. I would give it a green bean.
That’s interesting, thanks for sharing. I assume they have reason to believe that Taylor did, in fact, own the dies at some point.
That is a fair assumption. I am not nearly as well versed in the IOM pieces as I am the English and Irish coins. Is there evidence that Taylor...
@mrbadexample I like the look of your 1798. Unlike your example, most of these that I have examined are not well preserved and often have...
@mrbadexample I primarily collect English and Irish patterns/proofs from the Soho Mint, but I am also very fond of the IOM coins. This coin is not...

Next, we have a 1946 S WLH in a PCGS MS-66 holder. The images are a work in progress, but this is what I have so far. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am in no way a “Morgan” kind of guy, but that coin seems pretty average for the grade. I would say it gets a green bean.
This is a good point and a very common misconception. An essai does not always mean the coin was struck using techniques associated with proof...
@Lehigh96 I agree the application of the star designation is odd at times. In this case, I believe the luster is enough to warrant the...
I worried my pictures did not accurately portray this, and it seems like your question confirms my concern. I believe this coin received the star...
Do you think we can keep this one going as well? 1939 Ireland 1/2 Penny NGC MS-64 BN [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Let's see if we can this one running again! 1936 Great Britain Penny NGC MS-66BN [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
