I like yours more than the Heritage coin.
It's certainly a toolmark of some kind.
Sharp details, there- on both. The flaw on the reverse of the 1771 is unfortunate, but it's still a good looking piece.
So, while we're discussing 1922 Peace dollars, both crusty and CircCam, I'll ask your opinion of this one, @dwhiz, and that of anyone else who...
I'm stranded in Gabon. All washed up. Can't move to any of the neighboring countries, and can't think of anything in a straight nautical line to...
She'll be in the mail tomorrow. :) I just got that "crusty" (but not CircCam) grey beauty from @ToughCOINS and liked it, but flipped it to...
I think it's got something to do with the lower relief. When I was browsing Peace dollars the other day, searching for CircCams (hey, say that...
Couldn't agree more. Now we just need to get you to add an ancient or three (-dozen -hundred) to that "Box of 2000+" you're working on. Psst!...
Back to Brazil. Brazil: copper 40 reis, 1822 [IMG]
Post the picture of it! Show it off, at least! ;) Oh, wait- I see you already did, back in Post #134. Great coin!

D'oh! I sure did, didn't I? :banhappy::banghead: Argh. Oh, well. We're still playing from Colombia, then. (I like that bimetallic, BTW....
@Joshg1928 - welcome! Only one entry post per member, but I'll let Post #65 above count as your entry, since that's MY lucky number! (It's my...
Good luck with that! I am attempting that very thing right now, and after going through at least 3,000 coins on eBay the other day, I saw maybe...
In the past, I never would have understood that- I remember a lot of the "art bars" from the 1970s as being a bit tacky for my taste. But...
Panama. [IMG] [IMG]
That's a good point. I suppose if you're an extremely specialized collector, and something as rare as the proverbial golden hen's tooth is in...
I too have moved beyond structured sets with my "Eclectic Box" project in the last five years, but in that time, I've still had the urge to keep...
As it happens, I'm going for a matching look in my present sideline project. Common, readily-available coins, but with a fairly specific look. I...
