I was referring to the series as a completely bonkers, over-the-top parody of the original subjects. Which is what these coins are, an...
This is the numismatic equivalent of the Scary Movie series.
I would expect to double my money on that, conservatively. This is a (relatively) rare and more importantly, widely-known variety. People's ears...
You can put a toned silver coin - even one which is near-black, in many cases - into an electrolysis process and remove the toning. As if it never...
Image from VAMworld: [ATTACH] The center bar of the arrow fletches - the "nock" - is longer than subsequent versions, with which the two...
