These are neat. Seeing them posted so often here made me buy (a somewhat earlier) one this year. It has since gone on to live with @Aethelred....
What a lovely little coin. Even in those in-slab images, with the ghastly white prongs grasping at it, you can see that's it's a nice example....
"Tranquillina" is such a lovely, melodic name. I wonder what the ancient pronunciation sounded like. Needless to say, I've never had her on a coin.
Well, he's pretty consistently jowly and heavyset-looking. (Alas, that is something I know about all too well. Mirrors can be so unkind. A few...
We're straying a bit afield of the topic of Indian fanams, but that's an excellent point, and pretty much the way I've always felt about it. The...

Yow! :greedy::greedy::greedy: I had a 1908 NM Saint like that, once upon a time, just after 9/11, when bullion was cheap. Mine was only a mere...

Yes, I know about Victorian enameled coins, as I used to be a love token collector. They're not my cuppa tea, usually, though some can be...
I too have mixed feelings. That is garish and yet kinda cool at the same time.
Hi, Charles. That is a modern tourist replica of a Spanish Colonial "cob" coin. It's the sort of thing sold in museum gift shops in places like...
Umm, there are only 5 prizes. Seriously.
Wondered what your avatar was until now. Don't forget to specify the order of your prize preferences.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that. It looks like a really fun album. I like the idea of filling an album mostly with bulk cherrypicking finds....
Wow, FF Jr., that is a seriously nice Indian cent for a young collector! I got my first when I was 10 or 11. It was the most common date (1907),...
Neat off-center cent. Wheat, or Memorial? Looks like a ca. 1969-ish Memorial, from the portrait. If you clicked the link for Prize #3, you will...

Separate names with a comma.
