Actually, the only one I presently have is not the greatest example, but it’s very special to me, because I personally dug it out of an English...
The coin itself is neat, but the plastic holder is rubbish. I slightly prefer the Ferdinand & Isabella piece, myself. Hard to beat for history.
I love the rare 1964-D dime for only a thousand bucks.
Metal detecting, once you’re practiced at it and find the right sites, can be another good way to “stack” some silver, at least in small...
Since this was a merit-based contest requiring research and work, with only a small element of random luck at the end, I’d say this is no time for...
Oh, goodness. This is not the sort of post about Braeden I was expecting to see. I did not hear the earlier news. :nailbiting:

You're going to need someone who can read those Arabic inscriptions.
I know what you mean. I get a vague "Central Asian" vibe there, is all. My guess was some Indian state. That sounds plausible to me, and was my...
How can you tell? If so, then what P.T. Barnum allegedly said is true...
I know. I chuckled, too, ‘cause I didn’t have a prayer in this competition!
If anyone is curious, this is what @happy_collector chose to get with his prize voucher. I will ship it tomorrow. No, wait- tomorrow's Sunday,...
@Clavdivs - don't feel bad- the odds were definitely not in my favor, either, though those folks who made the list of finalists worked hard to be...
