I recently purchased an original oil painting by Manor Shadian from an online auction site for $4,250. I am having doubts about its actual value because I can't find any information about the artist beyond sites related to himself or his family. The auction site gave the painting a tag value of $28,000, which they do not guarantee. Should I accept the delivery or ask for a refund?

I have a 1797 US Dollar coin with a heraldic design featuring a small eagle and 7 stars on the left and 6 stars on the right. It weighs 2.41 grams and I believe it could be silver. Is it genuine, and if so, could it be unique?

What options of sets of pots and pans have the best value and are available on Amazon? I don't want anything fancy, I just want something decent.

I have a Ridgway 10" pudding plate. It is semi-porcelain with the pattern 'Olga'. The back mark shows a dark blue number ***** and the number 2 below the Ridgway trade mark. The number indentation is 11 with 00 below it. The plate has no chips or cracks but has glaze marks. What is the date and value of this plate?

I found various items in the back of a barn, including a pair of garden pruners by COUTARET, THIERS, a cake slice with small marks, another pair of garden pruners with no name or ID marks, a candle snuffer, a pair of sewing scissors with hare-shaped handles, and a small knife. Could you provide some information on these items?
