Well, a planchet flaw, for one. I'm not saying that's definitely what it is, but it seems a plausible alternate explanation to me? This one came...
That's awesome looking petrified wood. Yes, I went back to my default avatar- I always do. I just like to "switch things up a little" from time...
Ay, Chihuahua! :greedy: (On an unrelated topic, I just saw @Sallent's new signature and ROFL-ed. I did not, however, ROFL when just such a...
It's a beat-up quarter. Can't read the date in those pix. Value? 25 cents, if it's dated 1965 or later. About $2.98 by today's silver prices...
It doesn't look fake to me, but... ?

ON HOLD - SALE PENDING Both coins for $10 plus actual shipping cost. The 40-centesimos piece has some slight rim damage and a bit of verdigris...

It does look consistent with a lamination to me as well, though I'll defer to the error specialists as well.
It's just a dirty nickel (not "nickle"). Afraid that's all there is to it.
Yes, in hand and nice. Came in a swap from @dadams.
Who said anything about beaches? I like to hunt for OLD stuff.
I do think they were a little strict here. I wouldn't have quibbled with 55, but I think 53 is a teensy bit low, personally. Not that I really...
How would they know that? What kind of documentation? Most - in fact, nearly all - ancient coins on the market came from buried hoards. That's...
Here are the two Philip I antoninianii I owned about ten years ago. Both cost me less than fifty bucks. As ancient silver goes, they're kind of...
This is a Roman antoninianus of Philip I (244-249 AD), better known as "Philip the Arab". The reverse shown features the goddess Laetitia....
Dude. :greedy: I like yours as much - or maybe more - than mine (which, as you saw, is an iridescent toner rather than a CircCam).
