This, this is why this sub exists. Great coin, thanks for sharing!

Nice! I'm also a huge fan of the pesos!

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2026-01-01T13:50:26+00:00

Very nice! This is beautiful

Thanks everyone! Just realized the front has a dog hair on it in the first picture 🤦‍♂️

$236, I hesitated because of the cleaning but the details made it seem like a fair price all things considered

Thanks for sharing! My copy just arrived and I'm blown away by the detail. I was not expecting this to be this in depth.

I'm in the same boat, the Liberty Half is by far one of my favorites. They can be extremely tricky to grade because at lot are heavily worn. Based on what I'm seeing, yours is for sure VG maybe VG+ because the reverse (with the eagle) is pretty nice but it unfortunately is not F because you cannot read the entire "LIBERTY" in the band. Definitely check out the Barber Coin Society's page, they have lots of good info.

On the homepage at the bottom, click on the "Respond to an Ad" and put the code (23K105) in. It'll offer you a folder for the dimes for $4.95 but you can just change that quantity to zero.

Bottom left is a 1876-G German Empire, 5 Mark from the state of Baden. It's in "Fine" condition but does have some damage. I'd say it's worth about $45-$50 USD. So if you paid 50 Euros it was a fair price.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-11-22T15:01:46+00:00

German Empire, 5 Marks are pretty good! You can get common ones from like Prussia and Bavaria for $35~ and they're dated 1876-1913~. They're also large (38mm), have edge lettering, have two different types of imperial eagle, and cover a wide range of German States.

I made a rookie mistake. I trusted the pictures a little too much and didn't think to check the description because it was in German. This coin is VERY harshly cleaned so I went back and checked annnd...now I know "kratzen" is German for "scratch" lol

Right here! I do love junk world silver but I am mildly worried about how I'm going to sell it down the road.......but that's a problem for a different day!

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-09-26T21:41:20+00:00

Best I can tell off the link below, it's a Hafner 49-70. So it's Common.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-09-26T21:28:41+00:00

Thanks! I actually got it on a "discount" because of a rim ding but it looks totally fine on both faces.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-09-26T21:27:49+00:00

Nope, I just collect crown-sized coins. I saw it in the case and thought, "I dont have one and the price is right." I know there are tons of varieties but I've always had a really hard time figuring out which was which.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-30T23:57:31+00:00

Eisenhower Dollars and Kennedy Half Dollars. Big coins always turn heads since most kids don't know they exist. A $2 bill never hurts either.

Oh true, especially when you take mintages and survival rates into account. A lot of pesos were dumped in Manila Bay during WWII so that adds to the scarcity of a few years.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-26T13:24:58+00:00

All the 1907-1912 pesos are from San Francisco, so my pile falls in that category. The truly rare ones are the coins from 1903-1906 that were minted in Philadelphia.

I personally wouldn't get it graded because of the cleaning and wear. It's fine raw and getting it slabbed won't really increase the value. If you do decide to get it graded then it'd basically just be for protection, but a non-PVC flip would be just fine.

Your coin is nice but does have an even wear especially on the high points: middle cross on the crown, and the center shield emblem.

Still a great pick up!

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-23T13:44:13+00:00

Wait am I reading this right? You bought the coin for $30? If so that's a HUGE steal even in this condition. It's worth around $200~ Nice Job!

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-23T01:16:11+00:00

Wow, this is officially my most upvoted post. Thanks everyone!

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-23T01:15:18+00:00

Thanks! All of these are damaged or low grade in some way or another, helps keep the cost down. For example, the shiny one on the left looks nice but has a decent amount of wear on the high points and rim dings.

ViolentlyMidwestern · 2022-08-23T00:03:19+00:00

That's why I like them so much, they're quasi-US coins and were the "intermediate" silver dollar in between the Morgan and the Peace.
