@Roman Collector - thanks for the correction, and the link. I edited the title, though I had already placed the misnomer in quotes. It doesn't...
Just sayin'. I know they're an "as made" thing, but I can't quite get past the fact that they look like a deep gouge in the coin, as though...
I agree with everything said here. Most of this stuff is not worth a significant premium over face value, though some are fun to have. Are you...
PS- I rather like what the doubling did to William Edward the Confessor's face. Gives him a rather craggy appearance. Nice flan, nice toning,...
It did have me scratching my head. LOL. You should see a "Thread Tools" link at the top right of your post. Within that, there should be an...
Then it still would have been a Memorial cent with surface issues. LOL ;) (Sorry, those personally do nothing at all for me. LMC are not on my...
Yes, that is exactly what I used it for. But when your unwanted, irredeemable coin happens to be something like a 200-year-old Draped Bust cent...

This is a good point, since the general makeup of that piece looks far too modern for the indicated date range. I think it's a modern (20th...
Nice result. This is electrolysis. I found it handy in the past, using a similar method to clean my detecting finds. As you hinted, there are...
@TheRed - thanks. I had not heard of "crockards" and "pollards" before, despite having had some exposure to English hammered coins.
That's probably the understatement of the week.
And rightfully so!

You're thinking of the earlier Claudius, there. ;) This one kinda-sorta looked like Claudius II ("Gothicus"). I'd love to see the old I,...
OK, so y'all got a fake poll this time, but hey, there were coin pitchers and Philly sammich pitchers and a cat pitcher, so what more could you...
Wow! I love the well-defined obverse, there. Fantastic. I had not yet plunged into learning the stories, here. When it comes to ancients, I...
Separate names with a comma.
