I have several nice unspotted examples of the French Vichy and Republic coins but nothing better than EF on the WWI and WWII German zinc coins....
High end AU on the first two, a 63 or maybe a 64 on the 1916 Buffalo. That nickel sure is a nice example.
I forgot to mention one thing during that time period. The week I found the 1916-D dime was capped off when I got an AU 1932-S quarter in change...
There was an interesting article in the latest monthly Coin World about the recent death of Eric Newman at 106. One of the coins he owned was one...

Here are 2 more Mexican coins: a really gem BU 1926 peso and a nice BU of the 1954 5 peso, the rarest date of the series. Only 30,000 were...
Here are photos of the 1843 Zacatecas 8 Reales and the 1914 Guerrero peso that I posted about previously. I'm including one more picture of a...
Coin has way too much wear to grade AU-also heavily cleaned in the past. Highest I can come up with is a VF20-25 on a good day.
Keep the $500 and $1000 bills plus the gold and sell the rest to a dealer. Keep in mind that you won't get anything close to $25K for the...
C-B-D, this is a little off topic but that picture you posted screams to me that this Bust half is really ripe for resubmission to PCGS for a...
