Domed button. Commonly seen on Australian silver coins of the WW2 era. (particularly sixpence). They'd do 'em up like that, and then braize a...
Undated, but attributed to 1615. I had to check the rules to see if this one would fly. It seems it can, since it is attributed to one...
Looks natural to me. Could be heat-induced, though I don't mean to suggest that heat was deliberately applied. Looks like some pieces I found in...
Draw a line SW-ish from either Martinique or Guadeloupe and you can hit the northernmost tip of Colombia. Colombia (Spanish Colonial): gold...

The I.G.W.T. motto is rather weakly struck, but not so much that it would be worth any kind of premium. This isn't terribly unusual. I'm not...
Which one?
I'm curious- does this coin have a mintmark? (Just a random question- it has nothing to do with the rim bump or anything else.)
Because the hit displaced the metal, same as a dent in a car fender would, for example. I agree with everyone here so far- this particular coin...

That thought crossed my mind as well. I've heard of coins being coated with mercury, though I've not seen any in hand. I wonder if they're...
Thanks. Hopefully fixed now.
I really love the Portuguese coinage of that era, and many of their copper-nickel coins acquired the ideal "CircCam" appearance, for some reason....
Alas, I did not win that Elizabethan coin. But since I lost that, it allowed me to get this one. How about a gold DirtCam from the Crusader era?...
I too have done relatively little with Lincoln cents in the last 30 years.
No it isn't, because of the D mintmark, as pointed out. You fell into the same trap I did. It might be pareidolia, but I'm now thinking I see...
Yes, it can be problematic with Roman coins, since there is so much variation, but I have found that direct Google entry of Latin legends- even...
Separate names with a comma.
