I just can’t help but wonder what that “strawberry seed” pattern represents. I wonder if there’s anybody who hasn’t been dead for 1,800 years who...
I know what you mean. I wonder about the hoard of these tokens that were reportedly found when they tore the old ferry house down. What...
Those are indeed sharp looking! Elymais, right? Edit- aha. Yes. Thanks, @Parthicus. I often privately refer to the coins with those dot- or...
That's probably a safer technique for the coin(s) involved, though not necessarily for the human! I've spit-cleaned many a find as it first came...
Cost me eighty bucks delivered, in the slab, which I thought was reasonable, given the grade. I'm sure one could get a raw example for much less,...

Are those silver... musket balls? Planning on going werewolf hunting with your muzzle-loader, there, Z? ;)
Oh, I know all about that "getting excited" part. I didn't yell, but you can hear me get way too excited over a common Barber dime at about 5:30...
Oh, those coin spills are magic, ain't they? I will say that "prying-them-apart bit" with the dig tool made me cringe a bit... ;) Great vids-...

Oh well. I can see why it caught your eye. I’m still happy with a 40% coin, on the very rare occasions when I can find halves at the bank at all!

While it's true 40% silver clad halves often have visible layers on the edge, I'm not so sure that's always the case. @SensibleSal66 is offering...
You've posted them thar bells at least three times, now, Sal. They're cool, but I know you've found some other stuff while digging! ;) Then...
And now the ninth day has arrived. Lot #9. On the ninth day of COINmas, @Penny Luster gave to thee... Nine silver Mercury dimes: 1926 (x2)...
The random number generator has spoken again, giving us the winning number for Lot #8. The number it chose was #345. [ATTACH] ... and Post #345...
Firing up the random number generator now. We'll draw the winner for Day 8, and then it will be time for... [IMG] ... no, not a Bruce Willis...
Very belated reply to Post #289- @mrweaseluv - that Gran Torino is a beauty! I used to have a thing for late-'60s/early-'70s muscle cars. My...
That one made me chuckle and nearly LOL, but I restrained myself because Ladymarcovan is sleeping in the next room. I just put on my shoes, which...
That looks like a lamination on the reverse to me, but wait for a more experienced opinion from an error/variety specialist, which I am not. The...
