Thanks again for the show tour, Charmy. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your Jacques Wiener cathedral medals photos.
If someone wanted to purposely make an offset error, I don't think that they could have done a better job--it is so nicely centered! And on an...
coinman0456, A very nice item--I like it. Not a British penny, though. And not a 1783 U.S. cent, either. You posted a photo of, I believe, the...
Much appreciated, Mandy--keep them coming! I not only enjoy viewing the coins, but I also enjoy reading the write-ups and addition information...
Caleb, You raise some good points, so let me clarify my statement. By "better investment", I mean that it is less speculative and more of sure...
I think it may be helpful to recall some of the history of the Morgan dollar. The Treasury had kept large quantities of them (and to some extent,...
I have to confess that the first thing I learned was that it was better not to tell Dad what I was spending my money on as a teenager. :devil: I...
:DAs long as this thread has already been hijacked for something more amusing, here's my pet rock story: When I was a pre-teen we were on a...

:hail: Thanks so much, WingedLiberty, for the numismatic history and photos. Very informative and enjoyable!
OOPS. Hmmm, I guess I should have engaged my brain before posting. Halvessearcher has to be correct, I would expect a pawn shop to pay a dollar...
During the episode, Rick said that they paid, "a dollar over," and that the seller was free to try anywhere else, but he wouldn't find a better...
According to information from the Victoria & Albert Museum, medals like these minted after 1695 were also sold to the public. The price of a...
Thanks for sharing your wonderful medal. The solar eclipse and the French withdrawl from Barcelona occurred on May 12, 1706, so the medal would...
