I've never bought a super old coin, I would've assumed anything from a thousand years ago would be super expensive? But from looking on ebay and seeing multiple coins claiming to have COAs for under $10 usd?? Are these a guaranteed fake or is it a normal thing for Roman coins to dirt cheap(guessing not the key dates)

I received a couple of 5 rupees notes and one 2 rupees note from my grandmother. They both seem special ones to me but I am not sure so if anyone can tell me more about them it would be great!

Good day all. Some days ago my dad was cleaning his house and for the first time since he has lived there (he bought the house about 10+ years ago) he moved a closet to clean underneath. There he found a cloth bag full of coins, what do you think?

They looks old-ish, and you can read some of them, but almost all of them are new to me.

i can read some of them, they are Brazilian, Spanish, German, Asian, and from other places that I don't know what they say

Can you help me recognize some of them?

PD: There is a lot more, but i cant upload all of them

PD2: i upload all of them i think, you can look them here: https://postimg.cc/gallery/qB0Kq2N

Hi Everyone.

I purchased a 1926 Indian Head $2.50 Quarter Eagle. I am trying to test it on my Sigma PMV. According to various website reading, the coin is 90% gold. However, I can't find the base metal specs, so I am not sure how to setup my Sigma.

I _think_ I should setup the Sigma as 'Gold-90% bal Cu'. According to the Sigma PMV manual, the setting means "Gold samples that are 90% gold with balance copper. Balance copper means that the other 10% in the sample is copper."

Could someone verify the Sigma setting, please? Or provide the correct information, please?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I'm not into numesmatics coins and I don't have much knowledge about it. I found this coin, and sadly, I cleaned it with hot water and baking soda. After doing so, I understood its downgraded it's value. I wanted to send it for evaluation to NGC or PCGS. Will they still accept to grade this coin after it was cleaned?

Hello everyone, I own around 370 Lindauer coins, most of them are 25cts, and I saw somewhere that some have stars or are underscored and are very valuable. Does anyone know anything about these and could help me spot the valuable coins ? Thanks in advance

I don't really buy collector sets but instead get coin rolls and hunt for the ones i need. I haven't come across many native american dollar coins or the American innovation series. Are these coins not released for general circulation like the president dollar coins or am i just bad at hunting them?

I have some great modern coins and was going to submit them to a TPG.

Which is best?

Thanks to all in advance!

I don't know if this is mere "coin guy legend" or if it's true, so I thought I'd ask...

Is it true TPGs have a bias against other TPGs high-grade coins during crossover?

In other words, do they grade harder if they see a 66 - 70 on crossover than they do lesser graded coins or is every coin approached objectively and fairly?

I recently inherited a bunch of coins and included among them is a 1943 copper wheat penny.

I took all the coins to a local coin shop and the guy picked out some morgan and liberty dollars and said they had some value and then looked briefly at the penny and said it was worth 100k. He then paused and said "no, wrong metal - it's worth 1.5 cents. It's clearly copper..what am i missing?

Hi My Uncle said he found this coin at a farm in Western India. Can some one help identify this. TIA
