This is an old story of mine, which made the rounds on various blogs and newsletters when it got shared by other people. It came up in a...
My, that’s a rather brainy rabbit hole to go down.
I’ll make the highest compliment one collector can ever make to another: Hey, if you ever wanna sell that one… ;)
It’s definitely looking better after the subsequent photo editing.
Must’ve been. But when I said I recalled buying a plastic model airplane kit with a 5-shilingi coin like the one above, that’s the recollection...
Whew, finally! I was starting to worry about that one. Thanks for the update! PS- posting pics is not required, if it’s too much work. Your...
Cool! I lived in Tanzania when I was a kid, in 1972. I would not have encountered one of your coin's type, obviously. For that reason, when I...
Man, that Ike is crazy! And it takes a lot for an Ike dollar to impress me. Ikes and Kennedies usually bore me.
Whoo, Pompey! Oodles of history in that one! I have never owned one. I agree. This is why, despite the fact that I reject all non-ancient coins...

Those have gotta be rare. I see they were printed when the halfcrown was still a circulating denomination in the UK. So, yeah. 57-year-old...

While most of my doubts remain mostly unresolved, I will say that it looks a little better in that last set of photos. Not so much in terms of...
Now, way back on November 30, I said: So I hope my Santa does not get offended if I one day re-gift that lovely proof set in one of my future...
OK, here’s what we’ve been waiting to see for 20 days now. My Santa this year is obviously the “get it done early” type, as the package arrived...
Nope. 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. That’s my gig. I’m the only person singlehandedly running an 85-room hotel overnight, so I don’t get to go home...
Indeed. I’m slightly suspicious, but I agree that it’s a pretty sophisticated fake if that is indeed the case.
