That picture was right around Victoria's 16th birthday, so she's not exactly "little" anymore. Those were big trees. Though not the biggest...
Not to worry. I won't make ya wait until next week. ;) Just had to take a break from typing. Bite o' dinner. Stuff like that. :)
In 1994 a North Carolina coin dealer told me this tale, or the bare bones of it, anyway. It allegedly happened near Orangeburg, South Carolina,...
Sez you. ;) But to me, it's kinda like those so-called "magic eye" posters (autostereograms). On rare occasions I can see the "hidden image" in...
@Ikw - don't feel bad- after 42 years in numismatics I have to confess that still can't reliably tell the difference between the LD and SD...

She's just a cat, so she doesn't have any badly mutilated pocket change to post on the Error Coins forum.
Merged the other (redundant) thread about the same coin into this one. The duplicate was in the Error Coins forum. This isn't an error coin. No...

Welcome back. It was fun seeing this find again. 19th century counterstamps are fun and fascinating, and like love tokens, they're interesting...
I left work at the hotel the other morning and walked down the guest hallway in the East Wing on my way out. Call me a weirdo, but the carpeting...
Congrats! Balbinus is one I never got. I did have a Pupienus. (That sounds like a personal hygiene problem, doesn't it?)
Craigslist. RUN, don't walk.
The two halves shown in that picture are opposite sides of the same piece (which is one half of an 1803-Mo 8-reales coin).
Sure. Despite being a winner in June, you may enter the July giveaway - or not - at your own discretion. The prizes are awarded randomly, after all.
Oops, sorry - I've gotta hate you now. ;)
It looks great. And the comet is neat.
Oh, believe me - even though I'm a 3- or 4-time veteran of the 7070 set, @Lunchbox John makes me want to give it another go! That 1941-D nickel...
