Thank you for the information regarding the mintage figure! Only Numista shows the ~25700 figure, other sources show the lower number. The 1/2...
Definitely a recessed date - that's a 28-S
Here is an iconic and popular issue from Chile, which features an erupting volcano. I know @Eduard has an extensive collection of these, although...
You've never heard of the 1928 Siege of Philadelphia?
The Liberty Cap Half Cent is, for whatever reason, captivating to me. I would call it one of my favorite US type coins. I think I spent a lot of...
So in the same trade as the Byzantine gold piece I got this as well. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Kunkel’s Opera Troupe was a minstrel show in...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well here it is. @lordmarcovan, you’re gonna love this one. Histamenon of Basil II, 1005-1025. This coin is nearly pure gold...

...should be in my possession tomorrow. Anyone want to take guesses as to what it is?
Let me clue you in on a very very easy to spot RPM... This one's for 1953-D. In fact it's the FS-501 RPM. [IMG] See how the mintmark is waaay...
I don't think the coin is authentic (and the slab would not be either). Date looks wrong, obverse rim looks wrong, and the overall...
Can't complain about any 1857 Large Cent at this price point that's for sure!
It is a 1916. I have seen 1916s with the date worn off completely in PCGS holders.
The other day I got a message from @Bradley Trotter on a note he wanted to offer for sale. I’m a little short on cash, so I looked through my...
I do not see a mintmark and I actually think the coin is an 1876.
