So it looks like I'll be doing another side collection of love tokens again. I keep building these, then selling them off to feed my primary...
Oh, yeah- also this half-groschen from Lithuania, struck under the authority of Sigismund II Augustus of Poland, and dated 1561. Great little...
@Oldhoopster- Zippy Kitty is great! :cat: We have two calicos. (10 cats total, presently.)
Just added this 1857 dime to the Prize #1 pick list. Will likely add some more stuff by the end of the month. [IMG] [IMG] .
I haven't forgotten my promise to submit this story to The Numismatist. Well, I hadn't totally forgotten, despite sitting on my hands and...
That's a handsome Caracalla AE. What's the anomaly at 5:00 obverse/7:00 reverse? At first I took it to be a flan crack, but on closer look,...
Back to the "hatching chick" motif again, for a moment. It is not an uncommon theme on 19th century christening tokens, though I've seen more with...
What drew me back into love tokens was the recent surprise gift of this piece, done on a 1798/7 16-stars dime! This one's not about the engraving...
Coins are fake as can be, but ... I still like that, anyway.

Sweet! Thanks for the update. I'll lock this thread down, now. Y'all be sure to check out the August giveaway. :) BTW, I normally would not...
Just because there IS so much information now... bad as well as good. It's a byproduct of the Internet age. Unfortunately, misinformation can...
Nice toning on that one. What's the grade? NGC, obviously. (Darn prongs... grumble mumble) While the shilling in the original post is gone...
That's magnificent. The EID MAR drawer pulls are a great touch.
I've got one of those, and might actually add it to the "Pick Bin & Giveaways" list when I can take pictures of it, so it could potentially be one...
Go right ahead. It's fine by me. Interesting anecdote about Captain Cook. I hadn't heard that one before. I presume you've read Blue Latitudes...
I see an '07 V-nick and a 1918 Buff with decent detail. Culls, maybe, but fun as a lot. The price is right. :)
There are some slabbed error coins on the Prize #1 list, too.
