Beautiful note, and happy birthday!
Amazing! Thanks for the very detailed response! I will certainly be on the lookout for one of the bronze Bashlow cents in addition to that...
After seeing your signature a few times, I just now decided to look up this Bashlow restrike. I'm a fan of restrikes (in the strict sense that...
Wow, I can't believe the Jonestown Massacre found it's way into this discussion. To be fair, though, the majority were physically forced to drink...
I'm guessing Laura is owner/CEO of Legend Numismatics? It's amazing that things like this go on, and I don't even know about it, but then...
I collect Mexican, as well as any silver coins from Central America and South America. I don't have much in the way of Mexico right now, but this...

I don't know, kinda has that gold look to me. The denomination is definitely 50 somethings. The date below it is either 1217 or 1317, can't really...
Looks legit to me. Very dramatic. Cool coin! :thumb:
Ha, what a funny story. I definitely lol'd when I saw the picture of that Merc.
Doesn't look fake, just well-circulated and probably cleaned. Like everyone else is saying, you bid, so you gotta pay. With the price of silver...
So, the wife and I were in NYC over the weekend so that she could have her college interview at Eugene Lang, and I figured Sunday would be a good...
I don't remember reading that it was Mike Diamond who found it. I thought it was just some guy who liked to search rolls. Whomever the finder...
Agreed, they must be hidden in CO. It's the only way to go.
Large, silver world coins from the 1960's and below; basically, crown-sized coins prior to when silver was phased out of circulating coinage. Most...
