The reverse of the Peace dollar seems to be showing remnants of a "Clashed Die" underneath the eagle. Hopefully @messydesk will offer some...
Looks EF 40. Unless it's in a homemade slab and it looks to be in a legit TPG slab, I would have to think the coin is genuine. Without seeing the...
I wouldn't mind finding those as a gift anytime. Lots of fun ahead researching this gift . Keep us posted.
@panzerman Very nice piece. A strong strike for sure. I hope you and your family had a joyful Christmas.
I checked the CU forum and LM hasn't been there in 2+ weeks. It's been a week since he was active here. I'm sure that I speak for the entire forum...
Those are some really nice pieces. How about showing us some of the other pieces. Maybe a comparison between A, B, C toners. 1957 would be one I...

Its been a week since @panzerman shared his Al-Qahira mint Mamluk coin. A very nice piece for 1435/36 AD. Does anyone have a coin that can be...
Nice coin!! Make sure the staples are squeezed with a pair of pliers so that they do not damage coins that are close by.
What is 'bad taste" for some is just fine for others. Some like Rembrandt, some like vanGogh and some like Grand Ma Moses.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wonder what the reverse of the Fiji coin looks like.
Nice find. That 1859 IC is a keeper. Be sure to squeeze the staples with a pair of pliers so that the staples don't damage nearby coins.
There are a few bumps and bruises, that's to be expected for an 80 year old coin. The grade XF 40 you gave is on the mark in my book. This coin...
@Troodon is spot on with the grade.
