My reference book shows the mint mark at about the 3:00 position on the reverse. It looks like there is some other writing between the date and...
GD, Thats the one I was describing as well. Unfortunately, I only have a scanner at work and must do my scanning there (at lunch of course) and...
Not if such things are labeled on the holder before a "newbie" obtains it. May or may not be the case but best to give the benefit of the doubt.
There was an 8 reale coin minted from 1824 to 1872 in Mexico. It has "Republica Mexicana" on the side w/ the eagle, and the libertad cap with...

Yes, they are old, possibly back to 1913 which is when the Buffalo series was introduced. They have no date because they are highly circulated...
No date buffalo's are just highly circulated coins that have had the date worn off. They are commonly used for jewelry or crafts but are not...
:( I didn't like the WV design when it was announced and I still don't like it. Kansas and Oregon look great to me but they are all better...
Ahhh, the highly sought after grade of AU75. ROTFLMAO :D
