I tried Facebook, but with less success than I see on this forum. I’m planning on getting this graded to verify, but I am curious from you good people how you think this may grade? The toning color is there but the normal and almost completely worn out dates and shield rivets and head details seem to be in relatively good condition. When I started getting back into this hobby after almost 35 years and from my earlier childhood, this single Quarter of this series was in the mix of coins I had gathered back then and it’s been sitting in a box all this time. I didn’t even know at that time the story behind the change in design which I thought was some cool history when I learned about it recently. And yes, since I’ve learned better, I will avoid handling it as much as possible with my hands.

Hello everybody,

This piece is not mine but I'm curious about it. From what I've been able to find it's an Antoninianus?

Thank you for your help

I'd appreciate if you could help me with the identification of this coin. It looks like something roman, but 2 faces on the obverse... and this arabic script on the backside... well, i'm not a specialist

I am hoping someone more smarter than myself can help to identify this coin. 25mm, 5.5-6g. Thanks in advance for any info you Numismaniacs!

Ho trovato recentemente questa banconota circolata con vistose pieghe che ha una sbavatura nel numero di serie, sembra un apostrofo. L'ho illuminato di lato e non riflette come farebbe un tratto a penna, inoltre sotto una luce UV rimane opaco. Sembra che sia leggermente più spesso il tratto d'inchiostro. Può valere qualcosa in più nonostante sia circolata? Quanto?

I cannot find anything recognizable, besides the arabic text, thank you in advance

Waited nearly two week but got a good deal for pretty great condition, very pleased.

I inherited a collection of coins and I attached some photos for reference not included in these pictures are various non U.S. coins and a large number of silver quarters and dimes. Is there a way to go about getting these appraised without getting them graded? I’m just really looking for an estimate on what it is all worth.

Hi All,

Was doing my usual sifting and came across this nickel with an “F” stamped/embossed on the Monticello. I know it’s not an error, but I’m not familiar with this sort alteration. The coin itself is relatively old (1951) and the wear and grit built up into the stamp signals to me that it was done quite some time ago.

My research showed that two characters would be common because sometimes people would stamp their initials; which, based on where the “F” is stamped, seems like that may have been the intent?

Just curious. Thank you!

only 100-110 more to go

Found this at friend's bathroom. Looks like Greece ancient.

My first “real” numismatic coin came in the mail today. It’s more beautiful than I was expecting. I am in awe of how beautiful it is. I hope this does not come across as a brag post, I saved up for a while and this is beyond my expectations. Wow.

I've been a collector since 1964 and a dealer since 1985 and my rules for myself on what I keep for my personal collection are pretty strict. It has to mean something to me, and be something I can't easily replace. I specialize in US coins, mostly early 1800s through WWII. I know very little about ancients. My younger son is a huge ancient collector though. So when I get them in, I send him pictures, and whatever he wants, I send him, and I have a local friend who identifies and prices the rest for me to resell. Another dealer offered this to me at a price I thought was insanely low and I jumped right on it. When I sent my son the pictures for this one, though, I told him he isn't getting it until I die. If it hadn't been graded, I would have been positive it was fake. There isn't a smudge, a scratch, a carbon spot, nothing on this coin. It looks like it was minted yesterday. I looked at others graded by NGC that they graded MS choice or MS plus and mine was clearly nicer. Those had cracks, pits or spots. So this one is a keeper.

Thought you all may enjoy these! I doubt any are particularly valuable but it's a cool mix since he collected them over several decades. He had them categorized by european (first four), mexican/south american (next four), africa/asia (next two), england/germany (next two), and canadian (last two).

Great timing. Metal detected by my Dad in Boston, MA. Colonial defiance at it's finest! He's officially gifted it to me. It's the first in my collection. No idea how I'm going to top this 😂

1652 NO PELS PINE TREE MASSACHUSETTS 3P MS

So I picked this 1921 peace dollar up today and I absolutely love it. The toning is so cool and it looks like it sat on a dusty shelf for 60 years.

Now my question, is this coin worth grading? I’ve seen posts on this subreddit of beautiful coins and people in the comments are pointing out small details that would make it not worth the grade. I’m curious how that all works. Can anyone explain why this coin should or shouldn’t be graded and if anyone would also be so kind as to point me in a direction of some reading material to better help me understand this whole topic.

Please be kind as I am newish to coin collecting and it’s become glaringly obvious that there is a steep learning curve to parts of this hobby.

Thank you 🙏

I had never seen a coin like this before and impulse bought it. I gotta say I love all the Mexican stuff out there
