I have always wanted an 1851-O 3-cent silver. Have yet to own one. Have yet to see that many that appeal to me without costing a fortune. That...
I notice mine has a pelleted circle around the slinger instead of a square.
I was recently given this current circulating polymer AUD $50 note.) It’s a pretty note, but I don’t collect paper currency and I can’t readily...
That second one in the OP looks UNC. Such sharp detail on the hair!
Wow, that's an impressive hockey puck! If an ancient slinger ran out of lead bullets on the battlefield, and there were no rocks handy, he...
I'm more a cat person than a dog person, but I told Ladymarcovan that if there ended up being another dog in our bed (since Bosco the Pomeranian...

Been contemplating this one for a while. I finally decided to go for it, after seeking @kazuma78's input. This is my first coin of the type....
All due credit for that giveaway belongs to the kind anonymous donor. I was merely the conduit on that particular batch. PS- I was allowed to...
It’s much better in hand. More lustrous.
That one looks like a proof! :greedy:
I was quoting @nencoin’s post. I personally will never own a Panama-Pacific $50. Their pricetags run well up into five figures!
I guess most of these small copper denominations must have been overstruck, though I cannot offer any intelligence on what the host for @The...
My latest. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My favorite US coin design, bar none. Even if it wasn’t an enormous, heavy gold coin (and was struck in silver, say for example) it would still...
