Thank you. We can, though I too got a bit irritated- over you declaring my medal a restrike on the basis of an (erroneous) assumption. 'Nuf...
@cpm9ball - I do not own the Bramsen catalog. I did not submit the medal. Yep. You were right on that, at least. Congratulations. One thing...
I like the grey patinated look on yours, Randy. Where's the reverse?
Hi, and welcome. @Conder101 is right. There's no way that would grade as high as MS65 (if MS at all). And if anything, I think his estimate on...
Finders fee payable in ancient or medieval hammered gold, please. ;) Like the color on that. Looks nicely grey, with a bit of contrast. Even a...
Because they're all different versions of the same design? That's why PCGS specifies "Bramsen-1990 gilt bronze". Could Bramsen have used...
Frumpy, but cool. Interesting little thing.
I read about the Republic of Minerva recently. Micronations are interesting, and their fantasy coinage can be pretty neat. I believe these...

Oh, it's a much longer streak of "nothing" for me, too. I only just repeated the last few.
ROFL @ the vintage Charlie Brown GIF. :hilarious: Getting a rock would be an improvement over 95% of my finds (or lack thereof).
Summary of my last four CoinStar checks: Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Those photos are phenomenal! (As is that Julian II/bull that @bcuda posted, which I couldn't take my eye off of...)
France: gilt bronze specimen medal by Antoine Bovy, for Napoleon Bonaparte's 1840 Paris funeral [ATTACH] Obverse: uniformed, bare headed bust of...
Congrats! That flash of a silver quarter or half poppin' out of the dirt is always exciting, ain't it? :D [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Oh, good. Our nefarious secret agenda is working, then. ;) [IMG]
There's a lot of cool stuff hiding in the Red Book. More material seems to be included than was the case when I was young. It's been decades...
