This is one of my more subtle overdates--but it's clear if you know where to look, particularly on this high grade example. :) [IMG] Krause...
This is a recent pickup off eBay--with no other bidders; I guess it was hard to tell from the pictures. The 1902 S-4 or 1902 ODD-001 is a deep...
I like this copper coin because there are so many cool details to study. The coin is an overdate: 1919/4, plus it shows die scratches and some die...
This recently sold on eBay--the obverse is pictured below. The date looks reasonably believable; what other details/surfaces just don't look...
This is a fun one--a threepence with a large die gouge in the shield (arrows). Something struck the die hard enough to raise metal around the...
This was a recent find on ebay. This is one of my favorite doubled dies that I've found. I lucked out, getting it for a steal because the seller's...
I'd like to share a technique I use to build 3D models of ancient coins that can be studied from any angle. They're fun to look at, and sometimes...
Here’s a recent find off eBay--the Snow-1 1893/189 (s). I lucked out--it turns out the coin looks much better in-hand than the auction photos....
I've been away from CoinTalk for a while. This is a new picture of one of my favorite coins. I really like the patina on this one! :) I shot...
I collect overdates; here are a couple of my recent finds. :) Sweden 2 Öre 1871/61. Most of the underlying 6 is polished away, but the top of...
I've wanted an Athenian owl tet for years. It's probably the first coin that got me interested in collecting. So, I recently decided to bite the...
Does anyone happen to know the smallest (modern) silver coin issued in Europe? :scratch: Sweden issued a small silver 10 Öre from 1855-59, 12.7...
I haven’t posted here lately. Here are a few of newer acquisitions, some Greek/Hellenistic coins. :smile Athens tetradrachm, c. 431 BC. 24mm...
Hi! I haven't posted here for a while. I specialize in world overdates—does anybody here collect them? While all my overdates are listed in...
Here are two overdates I found recently. They're not scarce, but interesting all the same. :) [IMG]
I'm happy to report that BJ Neff, the expert on trail dies, inspected this coin and confirmed it as the earliest known example of a trail die--now...
The features noted below (arrows) were found on an 1869 Uruguay 4c. BJ Neff has seen this photo and tentatively identified it as trails--but a...
Here's detail on a coin I got at this weekend's show, showing the date in two lighting angles. The protruding corner of the 7 is obvious, with the...
Could anyone describe the commotion at today's coin show in Santa Clara? Upon entering the hall, I saw police but really didn't get the full story...
Here is a 1927 Centavo I found at a local show. At first, I thought this was the 1927/6 due to some similarities. But after I took a closer look,...
