When I was a kid, there was a Cuban refugee who went to my church. His father had fought against Castro when he came to power, and their family...
If you are talking roosters, German 10 marks, or something similar, then yes, you should be able to get them for just about melt (there is going...
The eagle looks like he saw something he didn't like. Haha. The intricate detail is awesome.
I'm intrigued by the 1695 Leopold. I like the diamond shape that his portrait is in. That ancient is just freaking amazing.
The mintmark is not right. If genuine, this is a key date (a VG-8) would be somewhere around $400. Yours has an added mintmark. It is worth $25,...

This dollar apears to be authentic, with authentic chop marks. However, there are many, many fake trade dollars. The counterfeiters know that...
Dude is struggling enough showing decent pics of the obverse and reverse. I can't expect him to take pics of the edge as well. That is truly...
