if you're interested, I have some cleaning projects posted here....
That's fairly decent for a imitation coin. Congrats!!
I've been to this coin auction group called "Ancient Peddlers". Some of you guys may have heard of it, perhaps. They meet on random Sundays at 2PM...

Sounds like you have a good idea in the making there, Doug.
Those coins are way out of my budget range. That is a strange OP coin and a nice one too. I assume you could group this coin amongst other...
The top photo is the current cleaning progress. The second photo is in as found condition or close to it.

Thanks for that information and I'm going to update the reference very soon. Yeah, mine and that coin looks almost dead on for a die match. Very...
We could talk about that Facebook group in private message here if you like. Of course you'll need to give me your real name if you're interested...

I hope that provincial turns out well on the reverse and that will make it a keeper.
I like higher grade coins just like you guys do but unfortunately, I must try to find decent examples of coins for lower prices. It can be a...
