Folks, The recent threads on ancients has me wondering about coin albums for ancients. I find few references to them in Google or in the stock of various supply sources that I've checked. There are tons of albums for USA coins, slabbed coins, euro coins. How are ancients displayed - or have I...

I'd like to ask this groups opinion. After collecting for many years I'm thinking of taking a plunge and move from the "coins I know I can liquidate at most anytime, but aren't particularly rare (such as a 1917 T1 SLQ MS65)" to "coin(s) I will sink a whole lot of money into, put into a safe...

Whomever designed the reverse design didn't take into consideration the flow of metal during the striking process. Because of the elevated shoulder of Jefferson, the strike on reverse cannot adequately fill in the devises at the one o'clock position. As it stands right now, the 'F' in the 'of' in...

Way back in August at the last ANA summer convention in Baltimore, I preordered coins from the British Royal Mint. They were those Lord of the Rings coins, and at this point, I forget when the heck they were supposed to come out. A very nice man took my cash and gave me a receipt, and I proceeded...

So today I'm in the local coin shop talking coins and killing time and in walks a lady. She proceeds to pull out 4 gold coins that came from her grandfather. No real big deal yet, right? Turns out they were all dated 1849 $2.5, $5, $10 & $20 Mormon gold pieces! All VF or better and I believe...

I was happy to see that for the past few weeks, eBay has required every coin seller to state that the coins they list are authentic and graded according to ANA standards. When eBay made this change, I doubted that they would have the personnel, guts, or time to enforce their new...

This was the title of an article in the Celator, a well-regarded and recommended publication about ancient coins, that I recently dug up at the library. It's an article from 1992 that's a translation of a 1968 article in French by M. Jean Mazard. I had hoped it would delve in detail into the...

"Jameth" wrote in message ... Is this a relativly rare coin? It has been circulated, but is in pretty nice shape for being from 1900. Jameth, look just below the eagle's tail. If you see an "O" (letter oh) there, it might be worth...

400 nickels searched today with disappointing results, nothing older than 1960, one 1979 Canadian and one 2004 (which I sent promptly away as unworthy of hoarding). Ah, well. Alan 'has his wheats to keep him warm'

It's a pity there are none. Have they given any reason?

Are Jefferson Nickel "Full Step" designations only found in business strikes ? I have never seen them desinated in proof coins. Do all proof coins have full steps ?? Where can I find some publications about FS Jeffersons ?? TIA , Tony -- Tony Hawley, PO BOX 15174, Portland,Oregon 97293-5174,...

All, Can someone tell me what is the listed value in the Standard Catalog of World Coins for an 1871 Jersey proof 1/13th of a shilling? In Spink's Coins of the Scotland Ireland and the Islands, the coin is valued at £200. Other estimates and comments are appreciated. Thanks, Harold
