An eBay auction (closed August 4) sold a Macedonian tetradrachm, positively identified as a fake by Cliff Laubstein, who reported this on the Coin Forgery Discussion List (CFDL): I don't believe everything I read on that forum, but in this case I think...

I have a Canadian 2001 nickel that has 3 big circles of copper showing. Does this make the coin more valuable. I can provide scans if nexessary. I also have several 2001 Canadian dimes that appear to have mint errors on almost all of the letters on the Queen's bust side. The errors are that from...

Can someone tell me the current alloy composition of the US cent, and cite a reference for the information? _______________________

A couple weeks ago I reported that I had been receiving emails from "eBay" about my watched items having been relisted. The first time they were not items that I had ever watched, but the second time one of the items was very similar to what I would be watching, and the other was exactly...

Having never really collected certified coins, I would like to know what is meant by the term cameo when used in the grading of both proof and mint state coins?

Thanks for looking, here is the item. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300018741837 2001 £2 coin, presumably stamped with a broken die. About 13mm of error, or for those like myself who are getting on a bit, half an inch... Go to my web page first, a good scan there, both...

Hi. I need some help with a "I think" Russian token. I have posted 2 pictures in the NG alt.binaries.pictures.numismatic under the subject 'What is this?' Could anyone help me with a bit of history for this token? Thanks in advance --

I picked up what appears to be a 2000P New Hampshire quarter that appears to be struck on dime stock. The weight is about 5.4 Grams instead of 5.7 grams. Details around the rim are very poor and the reverse looks like an AG coin. Anyone else heard of state quarters on dime stock??

The auction referred to in the title contains a poor die cast counterfeit apparaently from the same molds as the one I brought to everyone's attention here about 10 days ago or so.. I wrote to seller and he wrote back that I should mind my own business. This fraud and scammer has been reported to...

This was buried in another thread at the end of a longish message, so I thought I'd post a shortened version here. I'm building a wacky little type set of holed coins that I can find for under $10, coins that don't have any other serious damage, that don't have a hole obscuring the date, and that...

Here's an article that includes quotes from a Federal Reserve official: http://www.easybourse.com/Website/dynamic/News.php?NewsID=26394&lang=fra &NewsRubrique=2 We know that putting portraits of dead presidents on the dollar coin will not noticeably increase its use in everyday commerce. Only...

Has a release date been announced for the North Dakota quarters? It's still blank at http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=schedule

On our two-mile walk this afternoon, my wife and I found six Zincolns (two badly marred from the traffic) scattered along the way, and a white plastic Fender guitar pick. Hey, things are lookin' up! ;-) Amistad 'ya just never know what's out there!'

I thought I had to order the page separately from the 7070 album. Evidently it is included. Page 6, Bicentennial, Modern US Coinage page. I paid about $4.75 for it including shipping. Make me an offer so I can get it off my hands. It just reminds me how naive I was when buying a well known...

Hi everybody. Any of you ever see this anomaly on a 1900-P? I believe it's Vam 15 (date in normal position but slanted with the 1 very close to the rim). On this coin it looks like Liberty has an eyeball. This is a raised area on the coin so it must be part of the die. It's not real obvious...

I have one set I would like to sell. It is original condition and includes the box and COA. There is a blurred mark (smudge?) around the wording on commemorative rowing coin. It appears to be on the Plastic. Looks as though the wording scratched the plastic or possibly original imperfection...
