To ship… one package. Not even that large a package, either! 14.3 ounces. Registered Mail, GA to FL. Just to send ten coins off to NGC....
Interesting looking coin. Surprisingly large! If it is 17th to 18th century, it belongs in the World Coins forum- not Ancient Coins. I'll move...
That's called a scratch. Counting machine damage of some kind, I reckon.
Looks like totally fake nonsense to me.
Cool find, if the ID is what it seems! I like coins from short reigns. And that’s a lot of history for 67 cents!
I’m glad to see someone showing an interest in the 100-coin lot. Was kind of surprised nobody had spoken up for it until now. :) Let’s make...

This recent purchase is my first Young Head Victoria sovereign and also my first Shield type sovereign. It also fulfills another item I’ve been...
@Hiddendragon - my apologies, but I let a week slip past me without shipping your coin. It goes out today, August 14th.
Here’s the gallery with individual photos, though as of this posting I have not yet added the more recently purchased Julius Caesar and Vitellius...
