Oh, yeah. Popping a silver half - any silver half- outta the dirt will cause one to blurt out all sorts of things in surprise. I was on the side...
I was undecided between AU55 and AU details, since it looks like it could possibly have had a light cleaning in the past. But it looks...
No clue here- those could be 19th or 20th century, I reckon. But he posted a buckle (likely a shoe buckle) in another thread that looks...
The one and only Barber half I ever dug was an 1894-O, but it's lower grade than that one (like AG-ish). Still the kind of find that makes you...
I think the OP did. ;)
Rafique - welcome! Here's an extra free entry chance for you, so if the random number generator picks the number of this post (#111), you'll win,...
O rly? This I would like to see. C'mon, Randy... out with it! I have never owned one, of course.

What @PaddyB said. Regardless, it is a nice coin. I like the coinage of Queen Anne. I had a 1714 guinea once. And a groat in NGC MS62.
This is what I thought, too, but confusingly, neither the XF40 nor the XF45 plate coins on the PCGS/Photograde database shows full diamonds....
French States (Château-Renault): copper double-tournois of François de Bourbon, ca. 1603-1605 [ATTACH] Obverse: F • DE • BOVRBON • P • DE • CONTI...
There is no way to accurate gauge the color of that coin based on the lighting in those photos, I'd say. In any event, it's not likely a ground...
Just got these two GeoV coins in. The cent is 63 BN. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd say it's in there. 40-45. Pix could be better, as you know. I like the general look of it, and I like 1909 Indians, with or without...
