I used to have a 1783 8-reales piece in an old small ANACS slab (with the pedigree on the label). Though corroded a little, it wasn’t too bad, as...
I’ve thought we need a shipwreck coin in the giveaway mix, just for fun. Saw some El Cazador Spanish silver, but like so many pieces from that...
Yeah, I’d love to go on a shopping spree in 1943! Fire up the time machine! If I remember correctly, the seller is asking something like $35...
Oh! Gotcha. Who knows? Yeah, I suppose that was probably $1 USD that was spent for it, back in the day.
He’s quite the optimist, isn’t he?
It is a Spanish cob. The 8-reales coins would have been equivalent to a dollar in early America. I suspect this is a smaller denomination, of...

*eye roll* :rolleyes:
Wow, good luck! I dunno if any Lincoln cent would be a "holy grail" for me, but I can see why you're excited. A circulation find, you say?...
RIP to @Terence Cheesman. I remember seeing him around the forums, though I never had any private dealings with him.
I was wondering if anybody could provide attribution information and/or a rough date range on this Spanish cob? It is not my coin, and not in...
We needed some old Spanish silver in the mix, so I just added this one to the Giveaway Gallery. :) The coin is in a "Genuine/Details" PCGS...
January 11, 2024 (just now). Another for the giveaways- we needed some Spanish silver in the mix. I wavered back and forth on buying this one...
I think maybe I'm caught up now on recording all of my pre-January 10th purchases! Time to buy one or two more before I end the spree! ;)
January 1, 2024. Bought this one on New Year's Day. I keep finding more stuff from this early-January spree. Glad I'm archiving all my...
