I've had numerous "escapes" over the years, one of the more memorable being a nice 1797 British twopence, which is not a small and insubstantial...
Nice black-and-white DCAM. I like the design and what it stands for. I do not believe I've owned any coins from Afghanistan, at least not of the...
In circulation, no less! Let’s see your Pacatian, Jotapian, Laelianus (etc.) coins that you found while coin roll hunting! [ATTACH]

I don't see anything there that's distracting enough to warrant dipping, and I'd be leery of attempting it, myself. Only the single dark spot...
Neato.
I was thinking about what you said about Maundy issues. Proof versus prooflike is not something I'm qualified to speculate on, here. I don't see...
