Yes, it is. But as I mentioned in the thread about it, the rim ding one (which I sold to @edteach), was just dinged a little too hard for me to...
No, I wasn’t really thinking of it that way, so much as whether or not I made the right decision to go with this new purchase, versus the coin I...
Looks very familiar. ;) So that’s the one I bought but opted not to keep, due to rim damage (the one heavy hit at 6:00.) You can see how much...
This is the Julius Caesar coin from my first Twelve Caesars collection, completed a decade ago. It was a bit of an ugly duckling- VG with...
New addition to the Giveaway Gallery. (Click the next link for more pics.) Jersey: 1933 bronze 1/12 shilling of George V (PCGS AU55) [IMG]...
Both rescues, but no relation to each other. I do like Tuxedo cats.

I bought this recently to add to my bullion stack (though I did pay a bit above spot for it). I thought it was nice for a modern design. It’s...
A recent pickup. I bought it mostly to just add to my bullion pile (though I did pay more than spot). But I also like the design, and it’s from...
I am supposedly a descendant of John Adams, and John Quincy Adams was a coin collector, mostly of Ancients, but of World coins as well. I briefly...
Over $4K for that MS65! Wow.
I quite like those. All I have is a Monitor CWT. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I suppose there is no rule carved in stone that says a Twelve Caesars collection must be all portrait coins, though most people interpret it that...
As do I. As long as this one I bought goes Fine at NGC with reasonable strike/surface ratings and no problem notations, I’ll be content. I hope...
