I agree it's hard to come up with an interesting design for such things. For what it's worth, here's how I laid out some medals -...
Dang, why didn't I think of that!
So I get the feeling you guys aren't seeing this as a coin covered in oil, as I am?

Thanks lettow, great info. Dave
Welcome Terry, thanks for stopping by! Care to give us the back story on the pawn stars episode? I've always been curious about how the pawn...
You may have seen this on the daily show. If like-minded people get together, they will steer further from the center in their beliefs....
You are correct, that has been cut from a sheet. He does say in the description "This is not a real error note", so I suspect that's how he can...

Thanks much, guys. I'm getting that there's a subtle line that should not be crossed. On top of this, France minted some of these in matte finish....
Thanks Ryan. So when you say "it[dipping] is market acceptable" then I presume it is also normal for it not to be mentioned? It should be obvious,...
I see a lot of very nicely graded silver that looks like the following - a MS64 certified copy, looks to be something that came out of the mint...
Thank you Christian. I guess I'd want one of the early 1898-1906 strike then. Something about a coin minted in (say) 1960 that says "1910" on it,...
Amazing batch of gold in here! To my (neophyte) understanding, the French 20F gold roosters dated 1907 to 1914 were restruck up until the 1960's....
Two more new ones. French West Africa P-39 [img] [img] France P-77 [img] [img]
There's a writeup in The Engraver's Line about his career, but no specific banknotes are listed. Neither in The International Engraver's Line.
There are large areas of the second image that are blown out - jpeg values of 255,255,255. That's generally considered a photo no-no, and unless...
Separate names with a comma.
