I just won this coin at an auction. Looking forward to getting it delivered, I’m looking forward to researching the VAM. On the reverse it has transfer marks on the right side by the wreath, has a mark spike on the left side from the top of the wing towards the N. I’ll post up what I find after receiving it & looking it up. If it’s a Vam3 or better I may send it in for grading.

My wife got this for me years ago and I've always wanted to get it slabbed. It will receive a "Details" designation because it was recovered from.the Rooswijk, but idc. I would like to preserve it in a slab. It is currently in a mylar flip. Thoughts?

What grade would you give this 1881-o

This 1918-S wheat cent has a rim cud on the reverse at about 2:30. That part's already documented. It lines up with Cuds on Coins CU-1C-1918S-01R, and it's very likely the same reverse die.

What's interesting is lower down. Between about 3 and 4 o'clock there's a pre-cud, a heavy die crack where a piece of the die had started to break loose but hadn't come out yet. It's a separate failure from the rim cud, not the same break.

The Cuds on Coins example for 01R is pretty worn, so you can't really tell whether it had the pre-cud. You can just make out the faint top of a die crack in the same area, but there's no way to know if that's the start of the pre-cud or if wear took the rest of it. So either the 01R die had this pre-cud all along and it just doesn't show on their coin, or this is a later die state.

Either way it wasn't recorded, so I catalogued this die state and cross-referenced it to 01R. If anyone has a 01R in a different die state, I'd love to see whether the crack is there.

A nice little old lady has a few jars laying around, she asked about valuing. Also, is there a good source for ascribing value to these (market price)? TYVM

I got this medallion and it was in great condition, it was in a cardboard flip. I left the bag it was in on the ground and my cat peed on the bag soaking this and a number of other coins.

A Reddit post explained to remove the ammonia from the pee by putting coins in Acetone then letting it sit in DI water. Upon doing this and letting it dry this was the result.

Is there any way I can safely remove the copper oxidation? Or is this piece pretty much done for.

Edit: Spelling

1884,1871, and 1883 are the 3 florins from top to bottom. trying to come up with a fair but favorable to me price

I'm sort of tempted to buy this coin

Ive heard theres a lot of fakes around though, like still made of gold but fake. The seller tells me he bought it as original from some auction but no documents to prove that

What do you all think ?

Not sure if I’m in the right sub for this question or if I should post in /law

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to figure out a fair price for my Morgan Dollar.

Could you help me estimate the condition, check if it looks cleaned, and suggest a realistic price range for selling (shop vs. private sale)? Just looking for an honest, fair number. Thanks!

Went to my LCS today in hopes of trading in an ounce of generic silver fractional pieces for something cooler. (This is how I keep things interesting without actually buying) I was seconds away from walking out the door empty handed when this proof looking coin caught my attention. Never seen it before, haven’t researched it yet. I’m interest in learning about it though. Paid $25 for it, did I make it out okay?
