It looks completely normal to me, in the context of early 18th century coins. Note the squared-off area at 10:00 on the obverse. That appears to...
@Vytis - sorry I failed to get your prize shipped yesterday, as originally intended. It has gone out this morning, however.
Your ShimmerVision™ technique is particularly effective with proofs like those. Awesome!
Hey, I've got one of those, too! I sent mine off to PCGS... just for the heck of it. [IMG] The Ashepoo is also a river in South Carolina. Cool...
That counterstamped Columbian half is neat. Appears to be a love token (albeit counterstamped rather than engraved). It's also a CircCam. I...

Not unless you have several million dollars lying around...
Here's an early S-mint quarter eagle which was once on my old Holey Gold Hat. [IMG] [IMG] I still have the hat, and wear it to coin shows, but...
No, you couldn’t get away with calling a modern $5 gold bullion coin a “Saint-Gaudens”, despite the fact that they recycled the old Saint-Gaudens...
Nope. The first and last years are just that: first or last years. A key date is one of the rarest or most difficult dates to obtain from the...
That is indeed true, as regards the pre-1933 coins, but with the modern bullion issues, they're all collectively referred to as "American Gold...
As far as “tuition” goes (and we’ve all paid our dues when learning), this was thankfully a relatively painless lesson for you, I reckon....
