Serapis Neat coin. PS- whoa, check out this gold medallion shown on that Wikipedia page! [IMG]
Weird flan, for sure. I kinda see what you're talking about but am not convinced it's lettering. Perhaps just irregularities in the surface?...
Neat watermarks. I know nothing about paper currency, but I think I might've spent some of those when I was over there in 2013. I know I had...
I did buy this tonight. ;) Price was right. Looks like I won't get hired as a product photographer, but I do have some qualifications as a...
I'm going to PM you a link to where the QE1 sixpence is for sale. Like you, I think it's a great grab at the price, but I'm going to hold out for...
All this talk of Anglo-Saxon things makes me lament the loss of my Aethelred penny last month. :( There was good reason for that, though. I...
Oh, good. Glad it's not just me. Yes, a head-scratcher for sure, and I stand by my earlier concern over the "shaving cut", but perhaps I was too...
I agree. I've done well with the older PCI green label slabs. My best cherrypick of all time came in one. It was a 1904 $20 PCI green label MS...
I had a somewhat similar piece, but not silver, nor 7oz! (wow) [IMG] As the text in that old picture indicated, my carrying that medal as a...
Where's the "Like+++" button?
Oh, I totally get what you mean about having an "OC heart". Took me a long time to "declutter", as you call it (hadn't heard of that book). It...
OK, "plate doubling" is a new one on me, despite 41 years of collecting. But doubled dies have never particularly interested me. Still, I...
I shall defer to your experience, then. The only Jeffs I've ever collected (aside from a few in type sets) have been circs plucked from roll hunting.
Look at the "shaving cut" beneath TJ's ear. That's no 66 or 67, and 65 would surprise me. It's lovely, as mentioned, but I don't see any kind of...
Neat. Since that's a 1911 book, I figured it might be in the public domain. Found a PDF here.
With all that "king" and "prince" business, you might get a chuckle out of the name of my previous place of employment. :P
Indeed. I Googled up some group lot pictures of them, and they're quite beautiful, with all their colors, particularly when photographed against...
I do see what you're talking about, and it looks kind of interesting, but it doesn't look like any kind of doubling I'm used to seeing. Maybe it...
I don't see any doubling in any of those.
