The old silver coins were beaten with spoons to tap them out for making silver coin rings. Why anyone would do it to a modern coin is anybody's...
That's about what I paid for one I had, more than ten years ago. So probably not too bad a deal. Mine was in an old small ANACS holder.
Ain't it weird when that happens? I have sighted my own doppleganger before. Cool looking popup book, or whaterver that is.
My friend Greg Capps is the numismatist for Brunk Auctions. He might have an idea of whether or not his firm would take such notes as...
If they're originals, they could be worth something, to the right person. Or should be, anyway. Boggs was quite the artist. I wonder how many...
Is that from the El Cazador wreck? Has that look.
Looks like an early state dryer coin that didn't progress into further damage. It is unusual looking, but yes, you're right that it is similar to...
By the way, y'all may recall that we gave away a sweet Canadian Centennial set recently, in the @Railguy giveaway. I just discovered an identical...
Just a wee bump here, to move this up with the active contests, above all the closed ones.
@steve westermeier - you tried to enter the last contest after it had closed. Now's your chance to enter a new one.
@nerosmyfavorite68 and @GoldBug999 have been messaged about their @Theodosius contest winnings. So far no word back. I'll give 'em a month to...

LordM Giveaway #74 (pick your *mystery* prize) This contest is now CLOSED. The winner was announced in Post #59. This giveaway is brought to...
You’re too late on this one, Steve, but I’ll put another one up when I’m caught up on all the shipping for the last ones.
Good question. I dunno… but a lot. Was this like a $100 bill is today? More? Dunno. I’m curious on that score as well. Here is what our own...
No. Mine is a slabbed collection. If I only collected ancients exclusively, I might have gone the cabinet or trays route, but since the rest of...
Back around 1998, I had the opportunity to buy a Nero aureus for $900, and didn’t. (I hadn’t taken the plunge into ancients yet.). Those days of...
My rationale here: I have wanted one ever since I began collecting Roman coins 15 years ago. (I’ve collected coins in general for 46 years, so...
After 15 years of daydreaming about it, I am now a member of the Aureus Club. :D Post your aurei, if you have them. If you don’t, there’s no...
