Great "Dark Age" stuff! This one is my clear favorite. The "fantastic animal" is indeed... fantastic. In every sense of the word. Based on the...
Pretty coin indeed, regardless of technical grade. On that front, I found this to be one of those difficult "fence-sitter" coins. Is it a "super...
All "spenders", I'm afraid. Worth no more than face value. The 1957 is kind of fun, though it's not really worth a premium either. I keep the...

Here are some assorted Depression-era sales tax tokens from US states, in just about any material but copper, silver or gold. There's aluminum,...
Here. Let me sweeten up Prize #3 a little bit. In addition to a few red BU USA Wheat cents, Prize #3 will also include this 1936-H British West...
Wow. Silly, maybe, but perceptive, too. I wouldn't have noticed that in a century, but now that you've pointed it out, I can't unsee it. Funny...
Yes, I had an inkling that these were pretty darned rare. I never had William I in my old English/British monarchs set. Stephen was about the...
Hey, nice lookin' out on the possible "graffiti" on the griffin in Coin B. My eye didn't pick up on that. That would certainly be a dealbreaker...
Oh, definitely.
Side note: those first three moving images in the OP were the very first animated GIFs I've ever made! It's true that the first GIF/fourth...
