wildboySaints New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 10:53 pm I aquired hundreds of hundreds of different coins and notes when my father passed away last year. Canadian, USA, world) most of them were my grandfather's who was a military man and traveled too many places. A lot of silver. I have found out what a lotof them are, but I still have some stragglers and some that I don't know exact value of. I must say, from researching all this stuff I've began to fall in love with the hobby. I look forward to "meeting" you guys and girls Edited by wildboySaints 04/02/2016 10:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The centre part of the design appears missing. Link! http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17532.html Edited by Joseph7420 04/03/2016 12:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
wildboySaints New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 02:54 am Thanks a lot! It was really bugging me lol. As are a handful of others. I have no idea what happened to this coin, but you appear too be right. Odd, eh? This is one of the parts of this hobby that I have recently become to really like. Just the history behind certain pieces fascinates me. speaking of quarter anna coins. I have this one also: Edited by wildboySaints 04/03/2016 02:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

There is a whole forum on picture taking with loads of helpful instructions, but one quick hint that I would like to impart is that you should really crop the area around the coin so that the important part of the pic (i.e. the coin) will be at maximum magnification. I look forward to seeing some of your other puzzle coins!
