For the record, while it certainly isn't a coin I would seek out for my own collection, I don't entirely hate it, either, despite the issues.
I think environmental damage could account for the weight discrepancy, but am far from an expert in such things. I think you're OK to list it,...
Whoa. That one's sure seen the march of time, hasn't it? I dunno if I'd say nicely aged, though aged it certainly is! It's a bit rough. But...
Ditto.
I'm not a fan of the porosity either, but I don't see anything that looks like casting bubbles to me. I rather suspect environmental damage. To...
Have fun, and save the slab labels, just... because.
Or better yet, pennies, without the greengrocer's apostrophe. ;)
Nice find. I've never dug a 2c piece, though have have had dig buddies find them in the same field near where I was on two occasions.

Continuing the "buildings" theme (I had to go back to the last page to see what we were doing). This was the only time I have received a 70-grade...
I love to watch a 7070 album in progress- in any grade level. Glad to have cointributed to this one in a small way.
All lovely. If I was to be nitpicky, I would say that the tiny spot on the reverse of the 1917 T1 SLQ is slightly distracting, but it's otherwise...
Amen. Ain't gonna happen for me, most likely. A friend of mine found a Nova Constellatio copper in one of our local parks in Old Town...
$152. I'm mentioning my note amigo tomodachi now, though I don't know what that is, and I don't think I have one? Sounds like something you...
