    I need a loupe to even see the date on G-V farthings! I need a loupe to see any date on any coin. They have dates

    Hi all got this coin relatively cheap and as you can see the toning is horrid. Im tempted to dip it and let it retone evenly is this a good idea or just plain stupid

    Hi all just wondering what sort of value do you associate with provenance on a coin ie previous tickets or bills of sale Seems to me alot of value is placed on these and to me it seems a bit high

    Hi all just bought myself a 1863 penny its got a very very good strike.Now how can i tell weather its just a unc or a bronze proof? I'll post a piccy when i get home ,but what i can tell you is its very very dark colour but i assume the normal coins turn this colour is the weight different? confused and ive just bought a few nice looking pennies so sorry but expect more stupid questions

    I think his photos have been altered to show greater detail,im guessing he is struggling to take a decent pic

    Do you want the shallow ear variety or the more common one. 1915 is not a hard year to find, there's plenty of high grade examples out there. How about this one Missed out by 50p You need to learn to snipe
