The Whipple dollars are an actual thing rather than some fevered crackpipe fancy like the earlier "error" links above. I don't collect such...
It's a jeton. I too thought the legend under that coat of arms looked like DIEU ET MON DROIT, which, as mentioned, makes it a British Royal coat...
Those are sweet, for 15 bucks or so. Nice! I had a pretty much fully-silvered Probus in my old collection, but if I remember correctly, I paid...
Interesting texture, there, but I would tend to concur with @paddyman98 that it's not worth much of a premium. Just a little, maybe, as a curiosity.
Could it be Gilroy Roberts? That would be neat, if so. And that would make sense, in association with a Kennedy half. I can't really tell for...
Wow, and I thought this one was funny. :wacky: Those Etsy listings are definitely facepalm material. :facepalm:
It took some hits to the rim, including one particularly hard one. Not uncommon with larger, heavier coins like this. Somebody probably dropped...

Those are neat. So's the rest of this stuff. Some stuff is just so interesting and compelling it is definitely worth sampling. If I were a...
Learned a bit, here. Hasta pura and all that. Thanks. For the second time this weekend, I've had a look through the archived pictures of my...
Huh Well, I'll be danged. Never knew that was there. All this time using Coinflation, I guess I never scrolled past the melt calculations. Do...
Changing the subject entirely, @Bill in Burl - I like your avatar coin and have a nice MS example in one of my watchlists. Might move on it one...
Welcome.
Well, now, that's interesting.
Same thing the Space Shuttle is doing on the reverse of this Nero dupondius. [ATTACH] That was a good one! LOL :p Leia looks like she's about...
Well, that variety isn't even listed by Krause. I mean, when it's just "Round Leaves" versus "Pointed Leaves", the Pointed Leaves variety is the...
Separate names with a comma.
