My first slabbed coin was a '21 Morgan in MS63. Hardly impressive and quite ordinary, but again, probably not one I'd sell since it's not worth much anyways.
-
The Carver/Washington half is probably one of the least seen "common" US coins north of the 49th. I probably see several times more Columbians than it.
-
Lovely pieces :-)
-
That's a heck of an opportunity cost there!
-
The concept of a mercury dime in clad kind of scares me.
-
Judging from the "9999" I take that this is a relatively modern jeweler's piece?
-
Take care - we all need a time-out here and there - you've got to do what you've got to do
-
Try to get it XRF scanned. Regardless of steel or nickel, it should be magnetic.
-
I should add that many collectors of tokens have a familiarity with those issued in their state/province, so contacting your regional numismatic association or chapter of TAMS might provide some leads.
-
Research on "Maverick tokens" (tokens issued without clear identification of their issuer/origin) has been going on for decades - and some that are exceptionally generic might never be identified if it was issued in a small community where there would be few records in the first place to record it.

Sounds like a great book! :-)

Not sure how I missed them earlier, but nice 20c pieces. I see nice 10c now and then, but seldom the 20c.
-
Congrats on making a satisfactory sale.
I should note that in the US, there are few dealers who actively deal in world coins - many that deal in them do it as a side thing and often sell at a "wholesale" rate to other dealers, so offers on items with collectible value will generally be very conservative.

Devin & Bolton counterstamped pieces are a field of collecting on their own. I'd had one on a British halfpenny and one on a US large cent.

I'm surprised to see than an anon. silver token would circulate! But then again, IIRC, Britain was still on a bimetallic standard at the time, so I suppose if the weight is good, then all was well.

Neat! I seldom ever see the silver tokens of the era.
-
Nice find. The top one I believe to be a Crown celebrating Queen Ellizabeth II's anniversary.
Yep. I see lots of the pre-1990 25p / 5s crowns sold as medallions at antique shows.
-
And spent pretty recently - many circulated proofs I see are usually kind of scratched up.

Happy birthday!

It's a standard circulation coin; the mintage is 30 million. It's worth 10c.
-
Yep. It's been tapped alright!
-
Happy Birthday!
Well, they nailed that error type...
