11/27/21: This contest is now CLOSED. The winner was announced in Post #41. As some of you will recall, in Giveaway #56, I made the winner an...
Does look like die deterioration to me, for all I know- which isn't much.
Here’s a cool, cheap counterstamped ancient I once had. I’ll just screenshot FORVM’s description. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This one remains a mystery to me. Host coin is a Madrid mint 1723-A Spanish 2-reales (“pistareen”) I found in a junk silver lot. The coin is in...
@ZoidMeister - that Chuck & Di counterstamp on the Canadian coin is cool. Hadn’t seen one of those.
Reminds me, I need to start another one of those giveaways. Still have a bunch of those that the Quarter Master at Quarter Notes, Ltd. sent me,...
You didn’t- not in the slightest. It’s an important point. One doesn’t want one’s hobby to be a major drain on the household finances. I...
This 1885 Newfoundland $2 is… 48 times rarer than a US 1909-S VDB cent… 26 times rarer than a US 1916-D Mercury dime… Rarer than a lot of...

1899-B British Trade dollar: Genuine/AU Details/Cleaned. A “details” grade, as expected, for the harsh cleaning. (And they put the word “harsh”...
Grades are in on the 4-coin submission, and the coins are back home, but the TrueView images are lagging behind and not yet up, which often...
That wasn’t necessary- you’ve done enough for me- but thanks. :)
You want the large cent? OK, I’ll send it to you now, then. Well, next time I mail something. Which will be soon, since @masterswimmer just...
I’ve not quite yet gone back to a fixed-quantity collection. Kinda plan to do that when I reach 100 pieces. (I’m back down to ninety-something...
I’ve got quite a bit of stuff in older holders that I’ve been thinking about sending off; not for regrading but for Gold...
Hey, yours is my coin’s little sister! Though “little” is perhaps deceptive, since your coin is physically larger than mine. To think, ten of...
Newfie = coin from Newfoundland. Newp = new purchase. An 1885 Newfoundland gold $2 piece of Queen Victoria, to be specific. A nice survivor...
