An old flintlock and powder horn would be a nice touch, too... lol. Looks great!
What a fantastic display! I've probably viewed these 20 or so times, now. For some reason, the British pieces continue to catch my eye. Well done,...
Stunned @ the grade and hard not to imagine some sort of an error as 1865, suggests.
Took a peak @ some surrounding years and am @ 53-55. Seems like there is some honest wear. What a pleasing coin and thanks for posting. Anxious to...
Ruler/King: Louis XIV Value/Denomination: Ecu (A French Crown) Type/Variety: 1646-1659 (Ecu a la Meche Longue) “Long Wick” Variety. References:...
Sorry, "messed with" is a very ambiguous observation and the fact that they were your Grandfather's is what counts. A lot of people still get the...
Johnny, they all appear to have been messed with, unfortunately. How'd you acquire them and/or what did you pay/what were they suggested as? Just...
Exploded magnification! I know if I viewed this one in hand w/ a 5x, that I'd be impressed. A few minimal and non-distracting hits. Luster beast...

Tibor, to this day I still haven't attempted to "conserve" a coin but have given it some serious thought and have picked up everything I would...
Enjoyed reading your report and viewing NEWPS! The Reeded Edge inventory is always very nice and I have nothing but great things to say about them.

Below are some billon fleur-de-lis counterstamps I won for multiples less than I bid at a recent Stack’s Bowers auction. This was my first...
No familiarity w/ the series. I think it's very attractive and am guessing it's full of luster. Believe I am seeing what's called question to the...
A "roll" of clad '69 Phil.'s. I believe these were all from mint sets, if I remember correctly. Took a quick look @ the top coin. Typical weak...
It's been said many times before that a grade is usually determined within seconds.
I feel like every serious collector should have some sort of an exit strategy. The "exit" may be after death for some of us! Lots of options for...
Great thread OP! I'm not sure if there are any coins or tokens that depict, but observation balloons of WW1 are an interesting subject. I can't...
OP, I don't believe it's worth the money. It appears overgraded based on the hits I'm seeing (at least a point or two) to begin with. Probably an...
Congratulations on completion!!! Based on the replies, most of us who posted were surprised, especially w/ it being a newer grading. I look @ a...
