Technically, "unique" means "one of a kind" ... the only one. They struck 1,279,760,000 cents at Denver in 1959, so they are the polar opposite...
Quite a beak on her, but I do not find the style of that coin to be especially primitive, nor the portrait ugly. It is quite a handsome coin,...
You might have some slight difficulty in convincing the Smithsonian to sell you the one-and-only 1849 double eagle, but maybe if you offered them...
They do have that Celtic look, don't they? One with a runic inscription would be really, really cool.
I think those results look pretty good. On a submission that size, I would expect a few disappointments, just from the law of averages. In these...
Oh, indeed. I'll leave the "Series-this, Type-that" minutiae up to the scholars and auction cataloguers. As far as learning goes, I've never...
I think they should put both on the cert pages.
Won this for exactly my maximum bid, without a shekel to spare. https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=383486 [ATTACH] ANGLO-SAXON, Primary...
Exactly. Somewhere I have a nickel folder I was filling just from circulation finds. No buying stuff to fill the holes. Just stuff I found "in...
I just did that, in fact. Knowingly paid $40+ to slab a coin worth barely $3. I paid the same to slab another coin worth $7 in that submission....

Great thread idea! :p Blockhead. The Lego Lady Livia? [IMG] [ATTACH] Ceres, as portrayed by Edward Gorey. [IMG] [ATTACH] Yikes....
Let's not start (or continue) flame wars here, pretty please.
It is an extremely common coin, and that one is only AU-ish, so no, it is not worth much more than face value monetarily, and as a result, it is...
It is probably well established by now that I love these. And though well-worn, I find that one very handsome, and quite appealing in its...
No Huns here, unfortunately! What were the other three? Can you sell them to offset your cost on the keeper you posted here? Or were they...
I see this one has the medieval 4. I like that.
Just really heavily worn. If straight-graded at PCGS at the PO01 grade, and not details-graded for damage, i.e., artificial wear (yes, that's a...
Well, I lost the bidding by 10 GBP. So this one is not destined to be mine. I am not heartbroken, though, and am already bidding on an earlier...
