Thanks. I believe there is a love token or two in the mix. I’d like to get more. To me, a love token can sometimes be better than a plain old...
Yes, though not all in gold, like it used to be. [IMG] [IMG] 2023 FUN show [IMG]
It is a fake which appears to mimic a Venetian design. It also has nothing to do with the topic of this thread about Buffalo nickels. What made...
I know what you mean. $500 used to be my standard ceiling, with only occasional forays above that into the upper 3-figure range. Only in the...
For everyone who came here for a shot at Randy’s Morgan dollar, don’t forget my own Giveaway #121, as well. There are a few Morgan dollar prize...
Pretty much any time between the invention of ships and today. So you’re good. :hilarious:
If true in the case of the Admiral Gardner coins, that would certainly go a long way towards explaining their relatively nice preservation.
Good question. The primary allure of a shipwreck pedigree is knowing exactly which ship the coin(s) sank on. I mean, it’s all about the story,...

The Admiral Gardner coins are plentiful, and thus quite affordable. They’re likely the cheapest shipwreck pedigreed coins available on the...
El Cazador, obviously, though I find it interesting that they did not bother to mention the ship’s name on the holder.
It's Admiral Gardner, so there's no "i" in the name. That one looks remarkably nice for a sea-salvaged piece. It's amazing how so many of these...
o_O Geez, look at all the cat hair in those photos! LOL :cat::rolleyes:
The idea of a "duds" thread is refreshing. I know we've all had some. It's an interesting complement to your main year-end summary.
That's a new one on me, as well.
Good on you, @expat.
Zero interest for me, but maybe they'll have their day. You never know. People now collect slabbed coins for the plastic alone. The holders...
My sister @Elizabeth Shamblin donated those. She'll be happy to know someone's chosen that lot for their potential prize. :)
