Neat find. Looks like a 1975-77 F.A.O. issue 1-taka from Bangladesh. F.A.O. coins are fun. I have a Tanzanian F.A.O. piece at PCGS right now....
Yep. This. You're in a somewhat lonelier niche, @tibor, but certainly not unseen or unadmired.
Kind of you to offer. If you wanted to do that - and it's entirely up to you, of course - just send me a picture or two and a description of the...
I'm curious to hear how NGC graded that. It looks quite nice.
Oh, good. I'm doing something right, then. Yes, you should try it. "Freestyle" is fun. Liberating. It can be hard to abandon the traditional,...
Nope, working just fine. :D
Zeus - um - The Great Oz - um - @Peter T Davis has been tinkering with the interface, I believe. What happens back there behind that curtain is...
Thanks. I do love the CircCam look, and was the person who coined the term, back around '06 or thereabouts. And yes, the Eclectic Box was a "Box...

Spintriae do not bother me personally but I think they might be a touch too explicit to fly here.
I'm glad the OP coin had a clean break, got repaired, and is being properly appreciated. At around 10% of the price of an undamaged piece, I...
I love the type in general and have been looking to get another like this some day. Had one once, with the typical greyish toning. The...
I don't have a vise, so I didn't even think about that. Yes, if you have one, that's gotta be better than hammering, given the proper padding to...
That was my thought as well. Just a weird discoloration pattern.
I think that '42 met Woody Woodpecker. LOL. Just random little tickmarks. Maybe somebody was bored. :) [IMG] I guess my love of a good ol'...
Done deal, now. Option 1 it was. Just paid the seller the $150, and will be shipping him my 1854 quarter. Napoleon is mine now. :)
@Circus- I got your package with the goodies for the July giveaway. Thanks! Someone will have fun with that stuff. I really like the Ike dollar...
