I should add that I really like the uneven sort of "contoured" effect on the back of the 2- and 4-daler pieces shown here. Those look great. I...
Ancients... modern... World... US... it's ALL good. :happy:
That is just trippy. Not only the woodie effect, but the gif, too. Cool. The lamination is neat, too. Woodgrain copper is not my personal...
I am no EAC guy or early copper specialist of any stripe, but I will say that coin has a very wholesome appearance for the grade. Congrats.
Great old ANACS photocertificate slab!
Good job. You won't regret it. I dunno what that first one you posted is. Looks like a "red wannabe" to me, though it may be all right. But...
Yep. Looks OK to me, and a nice piece at that, but definitely NOT "Roman Republic". This is Roman Imperial.
As mentioned, this has the look of a lot of the El Cazador shipwreck, sea-salvaged pieces. But because of those surfaces, it also looks like a...
I dunno about $1365, but that's a nice example. Before slabbing (yes, I slabbed my 12 Caesars set, and I'm not sorry, so nyah nyah, slabophobes),...
Turkey may not be far off- it kinda-sorta resembles some Ottoman Empire coins, though I don't see the "toughra" monogram one would expect to see...
I heartily recommend you pick up a copy of "A Guide Book of US Coins" (better known as "The Red Book" in the hobby). Most bookstores will carry...
Exactly what I told him. Would look really neat on a little easel.
There were two-cent pieces in bronze from 1864 to 1873, yes. The silver three-cent pieces were struck from 1851-1873 and the nickel three-cent...
The first coin is a Liberty nickel, also commonly referred to as a "V-nickel" for obvious reasons. The second is a nickel three-cent piece (in...
Having owned exactly one piece of Swedish plate money ever (and that a sea-salvaged 1750 4-daler piece from the Nicobar shipwreck), I can say that...
Yes, these have gone up quite a bit in the years since 2004, I gather. I bought a couple of white-metal 1848 5-franc patterns in old small ANACS...
That's a beauty. Still worth grading, I would think, though the marks you mentioned might hold it down to a 61 grade or 62 at best, technically....
@sonlarson - that green peripheral toning is awesome. I say sure, if you want- go with PCGS so you get a TrueView image. Looks great. Killer...
Congrats, y'all. And @MMiller750 - thanks for the contest.
I think those are perhaps random marks that coincidentally look like "NA". They can't be that severe, or there's no way PCGS would've given this...
