So I think it's the SS Cape Constantine.
Note that below Orla N. Beebe's name, it says, On board Cap[...] Constantine and then goes on with the names. Now that I've squinted long...
It appears to be "SS Cape Constantine" to me. There was also a Liberty ship called SS Cape Constance.
Sure? Why is that surprising? She was a passenger. It was an ocean liner. This was before airlines became the predominant form of long...
I'd say you're doing pretty well so far. You found Orla N. Beebe! And the ship. Very neat. Fantastic historical item! Alas, trying to...
Were I to venture a guess, I'd say the King James Bible (or an even earlier translation of scripture into English) might've had something to do...
That is a smashing Tribute Penny, and I'll wager it cost a pretty penny, too. I'd be proud to own that one.

What coin type(s) are you talking about? I don't know the full specifics, but I do know that they used the CAM designation on far fewer series in...
Side note: I am unsure if "Assurances Compagnie La Prévoyance" is a generic term or a reference to a specific company? I'm also a bit foggy on...

Great historic coin, @Orfew! Here's my old one. That small picture is all I ever had of it, and the ones on the NGC cert page are pretty...
That's interesting. Didn't know that. I was also unaware of the difference of FBL standards between PCGS and NGC, but I never particularly...
Damaged and coated in crud.
That one's cool because it has not only the old-style 4 in the date, but two of the old-style 7s (inverted Vs).
Despite 44 years of collecting and having owned the Levinson book for 13 years, I have thus far owned only one solitary pre-1500 dated coin, which...
PS- one of these would have been cool regardless, but that looks like a really nice example, too. Decent strike. Attractive toning.
Ooh, 15th century early-dated! That's something. Love those medieval 4's shaped like modern "awareness" ribbons! I was gonna say "@tibor will...
Aha. They've added the population data now. As I suspected, the Mecklenburg-Wismar "medieval mad cow" and the Basel goldgulden are pop. 1/0 (the...
Separate names with a comma.
