That is fantastic.
Howdy. Indeed, that has been the case. I occasionally step away from the hobby, the forums, and even email for a few days (or even weeks,...
PS- if you're getting crowns in junk silver, I reckon you've got a good source.
Nice find. I'd grade it G+ to VG. As such, it's a $30-ish coin nowadays. (Melt value is $22.78 as I type this.) Here's the Numista page for...
I did, and my custom dies were contracted through Cindy Calhoun, at elongatedpenny.net. I am pretty sure she herself then subcontracts the actual...
Nice one, @Orielensis! I'm glad I seem to have provided some small inspiration. Here's mine. :) German States (Brunswick-Lüneburg): silver...

That's just the circular beaded border that surrounds the obverse design. It happens to run off the edge of the coin there, and so looks like...
Business strike coin, but a pretty nice one. Quite sharp, despite the faint obverse hairlines.
A "parking lot penny", as mentioned. Well, yes, finding a chewed-up penny is better than stepping in dog doo, I suppose. Find a fountain or...
Interesting. I did not know that.
Makes sense.
