Before the US mint was established, we used any coins we could find for change. East India Company small coppers are amongst the world's most...
Looks like you bought something from Frank Robinson. Most of my packages from him look like this.
Less than 500? Come on Mat, I thought I trained you to hoard better than that. :) I have no idea, 327?
Yeah, especially the second part. That is the fun of being a hoarder, finding a coin or a pile of coins you forgot you owned. Its like buying it...
Its all about the chase, not the acquisition as much to me. I kind of feel a let down once I finally get a piece I have desired for a long time.
My only issue with the nickel to me Paul would be the hits on the obverse. Unfortunately they are mainly on his face, the prime focal area for the...
Like others said, impossible to answer. Now, if you ask, "which is the easiest series to make a complete 20th century set of in BU" we could...
You never know though sir. In my experience, most lots, (at least the ones I bid on), tend to move up strongly at the very end. Yeah, it sucks,...
Technical things happen. If there was a major glitch, the only fair thing IMHO for both sellers and buyers is to delay the close. I think they did...
True, he goes over them, but I also feel he has a vested interest in trying to make as many possible coins "biblically related" so I believe he...
The tribute penny typically is a denarius, (a penny in the bible was referring to the small silver coin used in England, in older translations...
I thought you were more of a Thierry man Bill. :)
Except for the Manchu on the reverae, they are not different than cash coins the Chinese made for 1700 year previous. Chinese Cash is by far the...
I am not an expert in these, but I would say more like 62 or so. Chatter on it, but I don't see a luster break. Old thread. I have bought a couple...
Lol, I take horrible pics. I just used a cellphone against a black mousepad. I appreciate the compliment, but most here could do better than I. :(
All look like genuine Chinese Cash to me except #1. That looks like a charm, but no way of knowing when made. The rest are Ching dynasty cash.
I agree with others, its actually a pretty decent buy. How much are you buying 1916d dimes for?
Cool. I really like that design, it looks very celtic or greek archaic.
Not the original designs, though. I wonder what they would make for the mercury, since I am not exactly sure which was the "original" design by...
How about making all three available in gold, silver and platinum? I might like a platinum BU set.
