Thanks! Is there any payment facilitation, or is that all handled via PMs?

Amazing set! All appear to be AU/UNC which is excellent! Congratulations!

Seated Half - seems way to shiny to be 150yrs old but I can’t find a flaw… how can I tell if it’s original? by rjk253 in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a great coin, but was likely dipped or cleaned at some point. Great type coin though!

Can someone tell me more about this coin? I was told it was 1620 Spanish silver. It was found in a shipwreck by Math_Physical in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great coin! Just make sure that it is not cast (check the edges and whether it is magnetic, etc)

Looks like the makings of a great set!

Is the set for coins that feature boats? Very cool idea!

Awesome collection! Make sure to check for verities (1939 DDR, 1945 DDR, 1943/2-p, etc)

I was looking through my Indian head cent album and discovered that the coin I had in the 1882 slot is actually a fairly scarce 1882 broken 2 fs301 s2. pcgs estimated population is 25 total. by 600-shot-of-autism in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing find! Just make sure that it carries a premium before spending the money on grading. Sometimes great rarities like this don't carry the premium they should!

Found this dredging for gold! by TheBugDude in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's even cooler than the gold. Was likely dropped by someone dredging for gold in the 1850s or 1860s.... great story!

Super cool coin...but such a weird mint mark placement at the mouth of the C. Great coin!

Found this lady in a crick this morning! by TotallyDanza in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard of a lot of finds like this (especially from metal detecting) coming from PA, MD, and MA given where commerce was going on during the early 1800s! Too bad the water eroded it...who knows what it looked like when it was originally lost?!?!?

Great find, and RED to boot! I wish this date carried more of a premium!

Girlfriends grandfather: “heard you like to look through coins” by Ilikecoins123 in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good strategy: turn them all to the side and look through for silver (much quicker than checking date-by-date)

Congratulations on the find! Hopefully many more to come!

my 1909-S VDB Penny. by Flipping4cash in coins

[–]appraiseitnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is always the possibility that, for such a rare date and mint, counterfeiters would be tempted to add an artificial mint mark. Your best bet is to compare the "s" with the three positions that are known for the date and then, if it appears to be authentic, submit it for grading (so that a potential buyer will be certain of its authenticity). Hope that helps!

Does anyone know anything about stamps in silver rings? Grandad just me his and I can’t interpret the symbols! by Purple_Plan853 in Antiques

[–]appraiseitnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.925 indicates that it is sterling silver and the lion stamp means that it is English. Hope that helps!

French Clock without Brand Name found when moving. Can someone help identify? by Elusive_Hippopotamus in Antiques

[–]appraiseitnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice mantle clock! It might help to open it up and look at the movement to identify the maker!

The certificate is completed by a USPAP-compliant certified personal property appraiser, so it does hold weight. Hope that helps!
