@mcz0804a - obviously you "get it" when it comes to the primary appeal of numismatics. What could my favorite coin buy? This coin (not...
"Obviously modern"? How so? I'm not contradicting you - I don't know, myself - but I got a much older vibe from the brooch. Admittedly, it's...
It's all good. You know what's magical with guacamole? Bacon bits. Mmm.
"Trust", how? They're fine.
That's fine. I came for the guacamole, anyway. [ATTACH]
BTW, I gave links to Wizard Coin Supply just because that's what came up in my Google searches. They're great in my experience, and their prices...
Wasn't anybody packing heat nearby when I saw one. Not that I saw, anyway. Not that they need have worried about me. I can think of LOTS of...

Dude! I was expecting to see Nicholas II, not Catherine the Great! Wow! :greedy: (I see you did manage to get ol' Nickie in there, too.)
I'd be very suspicious of that being counterfeit. As the others said, it "has the look". That being said, some of the genuine stuff from that...
Yes, slightly misaligned dies, I believe, though I'll defer to the error folks on that. Likely not worth any premium. I do see it more on dimes...
Well, I got the bull type right. Saw that particular ruler's very distinctive, bearded face in my mind's eye right away. I also got a few of the...
Separate names with a comma.
