Granddad's Old Coin Collection Pt 2 US Gold and Silver and a FAKE!

[DocBeav]

Thanks for all the feedback on the first one with the ancient coins. Any other feedback on these coins and whatnot is appreciated. I know some about the US ones but totally clueless on the foreign ones. If you see some that you recommend getting slabbed and graded or may be a key date, let me know, trying to do that for the ones that are worth it for my Dad.


Now here are some from the US to include 2 gold 1$ coins and a FAKE 1$ gold coin. You can see they used the head shape from a US large cent to try to fool the casual looker. Notice the spots where the gold plating/wash is coming off.

Check out some of the large and small cents. Some look like they may have been minting/press errors while others look like they may have peen places on train tracks or seen the inside of some kind of industrial press!

After that there are some really nice Morgan and Peace dollars, some more modern silver and one sweet 1821 Liberty Cap 1/2 dollar. Also including some 2$ bill pictures and pictures of the tins it was all in.

Any feedback on the coins and whatnot is appreciated. I know some about the US ones but toattly clueless on the foreign ones.

Later on I will post the foreign coins (1700's to mid 1900's) and later on the tokens and tax tokens.

Lots o' pictures. Only cropped not resized to keep a better resolution. Thanks for looking....will post more later!
