This is the only thing found during a quick search.

Interesting the absence of innovation in the "innovation" coin series.

Read the articles.

Top post -- counterfeit. Waste of staples. Another good reason to put counterfeit makers in jail and confiscate their tools of fraud. This particular fake has been around for nearly 2 centuries. but the Chinese and Colorado fakes are working their way into every sort of sales and scamming venue.

A badger discovered the hoard while searching for food. He brought about 90 of the coins to the surface near a cave entrance where they were found by local resident Roberto Garcia. “El tesorillo tardorromano de la cueva de La Cuesta de Berció (Grado, Asturias). Primeras valoraciones en su contexto cantábrico” [“The Late Roman hoard of La Cuesta cave in Berció (Grado, Asturias). First evaluations from its Cantabrian location”] Published in CUADERNOS de Prehistoria y Arqueología de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

I have no connection with the CPG except for supplying a couple of varieties among DE.

No. English is presently as close to a universal language as humans have come. Language evolves, but all languages have rules that improve comprehension such as the one mentioned.

Do not buy an 1879-CC without authentication - there are many counterfeits.

PS: It's "seen" not "scene." (It's the past participle of see." I see; I have seen; I saw.)

Or--- you can glue them into your old Vol II and have a custom up-dated edition.

Jeremy agens - Try to explain simply and directly what you think you see that is an error. Also, please post photos as described by Sandon, and make sure they are sharp.

Yes, I would dismiss the Kit, Kat, and Kaboodle. Nothing more than a crass ripoff. Not something expected of either the U.S. Mint or Stacks-Bowers.

I'd double check that orthopedist doin' cataract surgery......

Stop complaining about Charmy's cat ! When do you get surgery?

Congrats. !

Investigate before buying this kind of thing. Look at major auction sites such as Heritage or Stacks-Bowers for photos of authentic pieces. You will save much time and money. These resources are at your finger tips and entirely free....

Part of normal die changes.

All the coins pictured are common pocket change. They are worth face value. What makes the OP think they might have enhanced value?

A pleasant little article that really says only two things: 1) If buying pre-1934 US gold coins look for full weight, low uncirculated grade pieces at the smallest markup, and 2) Buy authenticated coins to ensure there are no counterfeits.

But --- aren't we all ?

An extra set of eyes on this kind of thing is always helpful.

A better conversion is from Troy ounces into doughnuts. That, almost everyone will understand.

FMTM-2 is in slow preparation --- it won't be out for a while...possibly late 2023. The goal remains machinery, mechanics, processes and operations - not specific coins. It's How and Why. Two of the segments are largely finished. One explains how coins were issued and distributed in the U.S. before there was a Federal Reserve Banking system. A second explains why the U.S. Mint did not move to Washington City in 1800 with the rest of the Federal government. (Also explains why the "pressure to close the mint" did not really happen to the extent many claim.) Others are going to answer questions raised by collectors including some members right here.

Other early samples came through military command. [Allow me to make it clear that this was not the first gold from Californian to reach the US Mint - that was when Californian was part of Mexico. This is the first to come from California under U.S. sovereignty and show up at the mint. I've outlines a short segment in FMTM-2 to discuss these early samples.]

But....near-frostbite is part of the fun of astronomy !
