USA & Canadian Coins Thread

Ever wanted to see the difference between one ounce of silver, gold and platinum?

Shows the amazing reflectivity of silver and the density of gold and even denser platinum. The gold and platinum are the same diameter but the platinum is a hair thinner.

Gold 1914 S half eagle. Upgrading my collection of these iconic coins, and the San Francisco ones will be my focus.  Always risky bidding on these as raw coins...so I hope this one works out OK, and grades well eventually.  Hoping for an AU58; am I being too optimistic? Details good on the headress and feathers😊. Photos from the seller.

The graded eagles have for some reason not held agood premium to the bu clean coins, i sww asale on fleabay a few weeks ago where a full set 9f 86 to 20 soldfor $680, that was $20  a piece....i know someone whobpught a set for $780 and both sets were all ms69...makes grasing without dcam 70 not worth it.

Thank you, not cleaned by me though if it has been. It was presented in a westminster case with COA so maybe they did 🤷‍♂️

It was bargain buy for £50 and it's since been graded au58, so decent grade too 😁 One of my favourites bits of gold.

Timely payday delivery of this little prospector. Recently came across this Alaska Gold token at a local coin show and decided I needed to have one. The tokens were issued by Jules Charbneau at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held in Seattle in 1909. Three tokens were issued in denominations of 1/4, 1/2, and 1DWT, which is an abbreviation for pennyweight. The design features an Alaska miner with a pick swung over his shoulder and a shovel and gold pan beside his legs. The reverse has a wreath, shield, and denomination. The token is .500 fine "pure Alaska gold" according to the original advertisements. The original three-token sets sold for a whopping $3! Now to pick up the matching ½ and 1 tokens to complete my set. Sadly it will cost far more than $3 to acquire them.
