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...
I do! Marianne looks quite fierce there!
Good for dollar-bill poker, I suppose. [ATTACH] https://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/fancy-serial-number-checker/45566677

I would suggest putting the slabbed coins in slab-sized zip-lock poly bags and affixing the sticker to the outside of the bag, rather than...

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...
January 4, 2024. Also for the giveaways, a pretty sharp little late-Roman bronze, I thought. Nice patina and portrait, plus a campgate reverse....
