Yeah, that's why I warned it was a resurrection.
@stldanceartist - you're partly to blame for this, y'know- if only barely. ;) Reading your old cherrypick story (which I resurrected this...
A so-called "Junk dollar", that is. :) My first. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Oh- and for the record: I have grown to like that circular, hamlike substance (referred to as "Canadian" bacon down here in 'Murrica) more than...
Welcome. This curiosity is good. And natural, when you notice a 50+ year old coin that's in better condition than it ought to be.
Another random thought- it seems like there sure are an awful lot of "spooned" coins that seemingly got started, but never finished. Why is...
I've often had the exact same thought, but it's good that there are craftspeople in the world who don't mind putting in a long time perfecting...
FWIW, I had not seen many - if any - of this type in my perambulations, and I immediately liked it, and so became instantly enthusiastic, as I am...

No, I had not done any research yet. Not that my trigger finger was hovering over the mouse button yet, either, by any means.
Y'all get up to two voting options. I see several people voting for one "bacon" option or another, but not the coin options. Hmph. Don't go...
I would love to see it (The Cloisters museum in NYC) one day. BUT it aggravates me to no end when our guests at the Inn at Sea Island constantly...
Here is a handsome Hadrian denarius with a sweet, sweet galley reverse. The German seller cites a little "Kleiner Schrötlingsfehler im Avers"...
I agree- plastic tweezers might be OK, but stay clear of metallic, jagged-toothed alligator clips like that! Looks like a decent coin. I am...
Wow! Congrats!
Thread resurrection. This was a neat story.
Wow! That looks like it was a cloister in the literal sense! Also looks like some sweet metal detecting territory. There is The Cloisters (with...
Yes, @coin_nut is in Thailand. I didn't think to tag him. Good call.
