So now we come to... ROUND 10. We have moved through all the US coins and now it's time for ancients in the last three rounds. The prize for...
So now it's time for the drawing for Round 9- the Flying Eagle cent. Our lucky number was... 303. [ATTACH] And Post #303 was by... @enamel7!...
I just can’t pick. On this viewing, #7 (the Celtic stater) and #8 (Metapontion) probably resonated the most. But oh, that Baktrian in #9…...
At least the slab will protect it from the salivation, right? ;) One dealer at the FUN show one year let me hold an MS66 Chain cent and an...

Maybe. But the way it's kind of bent up on both ends makes me wonder. I think (since a silver dollar is not quite as wide as a railroad rail),...

He hasn't won yet! But maybe it'll happen. We've got a bit more than an hour before the 24-hour minimum passes on this round.

Sounds like you “get it”! Nice collection you inherited- and it’s good to see you enjoying it properly!
Man, that’s a great looking Flyer!
Not that I’m aware of. Shining light on it from various angles may help. But aside from satisfying your understandable curiosity about the date,...
OR... Another quick and easy (and relatively low-risk) technique I've used is to get a small bowl of household strength hydrogen peroxide...
