So the off-metal strikes on these ducats were documented by the Dutch Mint? I don't know, but I suspect that the Korean Mint didn't really...
Well... It WAS a secret.
Yes, you are technically correct, of course. However, we're talking about "collector terminology," not actual metallurgy. I think it was the...
So, you think an XRF analysis would be able to determine 88%cu,12%zn versus 60%cu,40%zn, or not? Not a large differential? Then how do we...
The history is correct, and I agree with everything you said. Interesting if it IS a "brass" planchet, but hard to believe. Too bad the TPGs are...
Here's an interesting NGC slab that I saw. The label says "Brass Planchet". These 10 Won S. Korean coins were being struck in 88%copper,...
I have seen these late-1990s 1 Won coins in NGC slabs at online SK venues. They usually sell for around $200. I haven't seen one for a while,...
If memory serves me right (I have a whole album page full of these), this is a Japanese 1 Yen coin. Year: Heisei 3. What's that? Uh, 1993? I...
South Korean 1 Won coin [ATTACH] First released in 1966, the 1 Won appeared as a brass coin for its first two years ('66, '67) and since the...
Most of my world coins are scattered in 2X2s in those 3-row 2X2 storage boxes. they number no where NEAR 28K coins... I have "frankenstein"...
Yes, I spend as much time writing up on my coins as I do putting together albums. I like how your "data sheets" are on the opposing pages from...
I think a book has recently been published.
Thanks for that. Hey, could you upload an image of one, or a few, of your albums? Because I can't visualize the "black cardboard pages".
It seems that the people who are selling the CAPS system of Airtite albums have gotten their site optimized for customers to label their own...
Nice. Like that 1949 NZ Crown. Got one of those. I like NZ Florins and Half Crowns (pre-1953). I wonder why they almost always appear at...
We've gotten to Nixon with the presidential dollar thing... Wow. edited - forum rules
So you had to go? I met a guy at work who said he was "1-A" in 1969 (fit for U.S. Army combat duty), but with some special pleading and parents...
I've always paid the second after I won an auction or BIN'd. I don't understand people who don't. Individual people buy and/or sell so much on...
Yes, good luck to you. I was accepted to one just over ten years ago, but didn't go. It was a good decision for me then, because the recession...
Kinda looks like that fancy "carpeting" floor-covering stuff. Just like downtown!
