Mint cancelled. Some countries the employees would remove error coins and sell them rather than follow proper protocol to cancel/destroy them like...
Well, I suppose it depends on if the knife is falling with the blade pointing down or pointing up, no? I see it as a 33% chance it goes down more,...
I can't see any good reason to buy it as an investment either, but as a hedge it makes good sense. A dollar worth of silver will always be a...
You guys may be getting tired of my posting about modern fakes and their ever improving quality... well, too bad. I will keep posting about them...
I'm excited for the same reason. I had stopped buying silver when it became (in my opinion) overpriced a few years ago. At this rate I will be...
I think it's rather nicely toned. Personally would prefer that over a blast white example in equal grade.
I hope it keeps tanking another 25%, fingers crossed :jimlad: Edit: updated screenshot as prices kept falling. [IMG]
Yes, they didn't use larger denominations in Caribbean colonies such as Jamaica, Barbados, Bermuda like they did with colonies in Latin America...

1860 and later design is different from the "young Victoria design"
61mm? Might just have to use a mylar paper money sleeve for that.
People list it as "with dot" because the book they are using lists two varieties. Knowing how badly the Krause catalogs are edited, I would not be...
It's a gilded farthing. It was first carved and then gilded, which is why the gilding is wearing off on the higher points but is still full inside...
So wait, the sets without silver coins were free? Nice score either way :)
Bad photos, but looks like one of those modern novelty replicas made of a shiny alloy.
I always get annoyed with how they grade these. I really believe this coin, as well as the other posted above, are substantially better than VG.
This annoys me also. As if .0004% silver purity makes any real price difference. It's all BS marketing and an excuse to mark up something that is...
