  1. I picked up numerous foreign coins today from a local gentleman. This piece was mixed in among them. My initial instincts tell me that it is not genuine, however I do not have the expertise nor knowledge of these type coins to determine for sure. (not to worry, it didn't cost me anything essentially based on the cost of the entire batch of coins)

     

    Any ideas or suggestions on how I can determine it's authenticity or lack thereof?

     

    I am going through the other coins and will likely post some on here with questions.

     

    Thanks,

  2. Thanks for the link Irvin, yep that's it. Now I need to convince my Father in Law to perhaps "pass it on down the family tree" or I guess I could be convinced to offer him the current market value for it. Either way, I couldn't believe it. I told him I just wanted to check out the varieties of the coins he had and he said his would be on the low end of the spectrum, well it may not be worth a lot of money but it is one of those keepers.

  3. I was at my in-laws house this evening and asked if I could "borrow" two Peace Dollars they had showed me some time ago so I could bring them home for a closer look, etc. Well they gave me four coins, two 1922 Peace Dollars, one 1896 S Morgan and one 1888 O Morgan.

     

    Well the first one I looked at was the 1888 O Morgan and guess what I think I found. yay.gifyay.gifyay.gif

     

    Please take a look at confirm for me. Also opinion on grade, I am guessing F-12. The Reverse is in better shape than the obverse
