Mailman was fairly nice to me today.

Germany 2 Marks, 1967G. NGC PF66. Old-style NGC holder. Semi-cameo. Not the prettiest coin in the world. Once again having problems shooting the slab...




Dominican Republic 1 Centavo, 1877. PCGS MS65. Dirt cheap coin, but a lovely example. Sucky old scuffed up slab though.




Canada 1 Cent, 1951. PCGS MS65RD. A tale of two sides! Obverse is a bit more beat up than I would have expected, but the reverse is very nice. Kind of a case where MS63/64 on the front + MS66/67 on the back = MS65?




Newfoundland 50 Cents, 1918C. NGC AU58. Fairly lustrous.




Cochin Fanam, 1700s. Itty bitty gold coin the size of a pencil eraser..




Netherlands ducat, 1928. More gold! Somewhat baggy. As usual, photographing gold always seems to result in every single nick, nack, and hit appearing larger than life!




Constantine somethingorother. I know NOTHING about ancients, and have no reference works on ancients. I see a myriad of constantine designs on Ebay, but none match this one. I assume it's fairly common. I'm guessing condition is VF or XF for the type? Any clues would be appreciated!

How old is the holder of the PCGS Canadian cent?

Uhhh... how do I look that up? The lookup feature based on the serial number gives me the coin and denomination and grade, but doesn't say when it was certified...

What's the color of the label? Can you image the front and back of the label?

Your ancient is a follis of Licinius I stuck in London (MLN mintmark) ca 315 or a little before (sorry my RIC isn't handy at the moment). The reverse features Sol the invincible, the companion of the emperor. London was under the control of Consantine at the time, and each emperor stuck coins in the name of the other. You're right in that the piece is fairly common, but London is always a popular mint.

BTW, I've had an unc Max Planck piece ever since it was issued in the early 70s. Really like it altho its an oddly compelling design that certainly no one would call pretty or beautiful.

Thanks for the info! As ancients go, how would this be graded?

Nice coins.

I like the rotated die on the 1951 Canadian 1C.

Flatly stuck with a fair amount of detail missing so I'd go VF or so. I've collected the larger pieces of this series (294-312/3) for some time and this type can be obtained virtually as struck so I might be a bit harsh/conservative. I collect by overall appearance (that it, I go after the coins whose appearance appels to me and the grade is secondary) so tend to be indifferent to the technical grade. Nice appearance nonetheless.
