No response from @Gamerzilla2012 yet. I’ll give him a month to claim his prize. Edit- nope, nothing. I'll close this down now.
Aha. I looked back and saw the reveal. QC. Oh well. I still say it has vavoom.
66 FS? I dunno. But man, that obverse has the vavoom factor, dunnit?
Oh. I dunno. So the male version is just on the earlier British Conder tokens, then, presumably?
Here’s another entry post to increase @Mountain Man’s odds of winning Lot #2 with the porcelain coin in it.
I think that was certainly the reason in a lot of cases. Small coins (three-cent silvers, half dimes, gold dollars) are frequently found holed....
Nothing wrong with that!
I’ve seen them in the mail. I get a lot of charity comeons in the mail. You give to one, and then suddenly you’re on everybody’s list.

I picked this up at the 2023 FUN show. It's in modest grade and the ANACS slab has seen better days, but I thought it was an interesting and...
Yes! Now imagine, say for example, a Greek coin from the 4th century BC, and where THAT might have been in its lifetime, and you’ll understand...

Yes, and yes, and the second yes is the primary reason for the first.
Newly purchased 1702 Wildman. Might come in today’s mail… [ATTACH]
I’d LOVE to have dug a Fugio cent, no matter how rough!
I had a friend up thataway who dug three Massachusetts silvers- an Oak Tree and a pair of Pine Tree shillings! Right before he unexpectedly died...
A happy outcome on both. I was concerned the 1548 Saxony thaler might not straight grade, due to that little “divot” in front of the guy’s face....
You’re lucky to live in an area where such things are dug. Some colonial coppers made their way South down here- a buddy of mine dug a Nova...
