Ok, not everybody’s cup of tea, but an interesting story: Production of coins had long switched back from the (IMHO - wrongly) vilified Franklin...
I finally got to see this coin in hand, and took some pictures that only are barely showing it off. It was grimier than pictures show so conserved...
I know this subject has been broached before and probably not many care, but the standard currency metal coins of 1994 Cook Islands seem to be...
Ok, I am a collector of GB later pre-decimal copper and silver primarily & bid somewhat actively at auction with an occasional purchase of US...
Well, quite a few years ago I found in Malta a likely very rare 1976 matte unc. 50 cents, but also a 25 cents. I had the 50c graded at PCGS and it...
This coin back at last from NGC, and quite scarce in mint state with none at PCGS and only the single better "62" at NGC and then this coin as...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] FYI: you can still find some things on eBay. I recently got this 6 coin set that is mostly matte (FM) issues and then a...
I don't especially want to give away my own bias, but this is a coin that has me wondering about the TPGs - and not because it is my coin. Do they...
This coin from 1976 is FM and struck in matte uncirculated quality. It has been 10 years that the first was found, and no others. The Mintage as...
Unbelievable purchase off eBay a couple of years ago. The 1848/7 overdate seems to show up more frequently. I like this one: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Wow, was I ever impressed when the bidding for this hit USD 3150 the other night and this for a silver proof of the maligned Franklin Mint (BTW, I...
OK, I recently got two coins and gave them just a bit of treatment. They are off eBay. The first is a halfcrown that I got in the hopes that it...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]I absolutely love this design that was magnified and detailed in the 1914 5 Lira but found in the 1 Lira and 2 Lira coins of the...
