I love that, and it would be welcome in my collection any day, but it's too expensive for me! I'm a three-figure guy at best. I've only owned...
@Gam3rBlake - there is nothing at all wrong with collecting circulated coins. We all have different budgets, and some of us can't afford certain...
Those are wonderful, 'Yoda. How come your CollectiveCoin page loads right up, while mine take 20 seconds or more, I wonder? Hmm. I like that...
That's a nice looking type set. Who says the coins have to be toned? That 1883 NC V-nick looks pretty sharp, among other things. The sight of...
What he said. Gram scale, not weird bamboo skewer seesaw. Yeesh, I see now that I'm replying to a two year old resurrected thread that the...
Yep. I am happy with my iPhone X. At least the camera part. I have other grumbles about iOS and miss my Android phone in many respects, but the...
Arrows at date type. Numista-14243. Ex- (@CircCam). A pleasing circulated example with contrasting toning. There are some very tiny nicks on...
Numista-982. I do not know the Newcomb variety. This piece is in lower grade (G4, I'd say), but is evenly worn with nice color and smooth...
Numista-10637, Overton-114 (R-1). A common date and variety, but in my opinion a pleasing, original circulated example with light contrasting...
Yes, I suggested he post those, as they show some of the different colors. Nice lot! (He got a steal on 'em, too, in my opinion.) I never...
Well, it seems the CoinTalk site went kaput for the better part of a day (must’ve been those pesky unobtainium crystals running the server?), but...
So this giveaway is closed now, but Giveaway #54 will run until the end of this month (March 2021). It is a little bit different. Check it out...
Ye Olde Random Number Generator hath spoken, and it chose... Number 47! [ATTACH] And Post #47 was by... @Kasia! Congratulations, @Kasia!...
So let's have a drawing, shall we? Would have happened yesterday, if the site hadn't been kaput for the better part of a day. :( I'm not sure...
Maybe, but not necessarily. I've seen a variety of patinas on them in lots of different grades. Just like you might see on smaller copper coins....
The colors range from reddish to chocolate brown to blackish. I agree, the dark color is kind of nice. Numista calls that a "reticulated" edge....
Certainly wasn't bad for a melt bucket find.
While the 1771 is higher grade, that 1782 has the nicest surfaces, I think- of all the half dozen or so I bought last fall. (Three of which...
Mexico (Spanish Colonial): silver 2-reales of Charles III, 1788-Mo FM, Mexico City mint [ATTACH] Obverse: Armored bust of Charles III, right....
(An arguably political post above- and the responses to it- have been removed. Keep that aspect out of the discussion, please.) I didn't buy any...
