1830 Guernesey 4 Doubles. 655,000 struck. 1835 East India Company 1/4 Anna 36 or 186m struck depending on mint mark. The same denomination, 101 years later. On the same note, why do I see a lot of English/Canadian/Etc copper from the turn of the century with black "gunk" around the lettering? I see it in America coinage but not nearly as common. I've seen tons of Canadian large cents with this problem.
Okay I guess. I took a break from collecting to save some money up for a car, now I'm back to collecting.
Was hoping it wouldn't turn negative towards Detecto. He hasn't said anything that deserves it in this thread.
Handing Timmy an opening to talk about something he's already implied he's done himself isn't negative, sir; especially considering he brought up the subject.
Nice coins. Although I mostly collect ancients, for some reason I'm drawn to modern Indians and occasionally collect a rupee or two if I can get them for spot. Here's one that was covered in PVC goo and got a good acetone bath. Before and after...
Got some more in. 1859 Canada Cent. I'd say F-12. Nice, original patina. I paid 6 with postage. Catalog value is around $11. 1799 Conder Token. Believe it or not, it's from....IRELAND! I guess my knowledge of these pieces are limited, because I did not now until now Ireland made them too. Mine seems to have a grease filled die as well. I paid about $19 for this, one in a tad better shape sold for $100 in a CNG (Classical Numismatic Group) auction. Here is a photo of the place. 1689 William and Marry 3 pence. Paid about $18. Yes, it does have a hole in it, but unholed examples go for about 3 times that. I know some people hate damaged coins, but it's still 325 years old.
