Anyone know J. William Ross?
J. William Ross was a dealer in coins, tokens and medals, located in the Grant Building in Pittsburgh, PA. I just picked up an old piece that came with a paper with his name and address on it so I was curious to learn more about him. It is an exonumia piece and apparently back in 1966 he was interested in exonumia as well.… -
Re: Rusted die vs. porous planchet -- how can you tell the difference?
No examples, but a porous coin has small pits, while a coin struck from a rusted die would have little "pimples" - the pits in the die caused by rust would be raised on the coin. -
1859 Rush to the Rockies - Uniface Private Strike - HK-544
I'm an avid fan of the Rush to the Rockies So-Called Dollar issue by the US Mint, but I didn't know about the uniface HK-544 until I just ran across this one from Ancient Galleon LLC / ancientgalleonllc. Anyone know much about this So-Called Dollar like who the issuer was? This one has been holed and worn, definitely not… -

Rush Job
So I submitted my 15 free and they were received on 12/4. I emailed 2 days ago to ask for a status as the 7 days had passed. I got a reply today and they said they would contact operations. This afternoon my grades popped and I must say they are awful. I almost feel like it was a rush job or someone was upset that I sent… -
Re: "Toning is to Silver Coins what RUST is to Iron!!!"
Rust is the wrong word to use if you want to make a corrosion metaphor with silver coins. I'd liken the corrosion you see on a silver coin to the bluing process you see on gun steel. 'Blue' steel is a black oxide of iron that does not have the 'mechanically blooming' qualities we associate with rust. It is protective… -

Counterstamp with ties to Gold Rush era?
A recently discovered 1851 large cent bearing multiple counterstamps has raised some questions regarding its origin. The obverse is stamped GREGG multiple times radiating from the coin's centerpoint while the reverse carries the marks NY / NORRIS / GREGG. To even the casual numismatist, hearing the word 'Norris' coupled…
