Not whizzed, I don't think. Maybe dipped and improperly rinsed. But I don't find it to be that bad looking, really. And for 15 bucks, I don't...
Wow! Especially at the gold Tribute penny! Your credit card has a lot more juice than mine! I could probably buy a pizza or two with mine. :(...
Oh, love it! Looks rather thick for medieval gold, but then I've seen other (1-) tari pieces with a rather chunky look, almost more like an...
This should be fun. I'll have to do my own yearly recap. @Sallent- make sure you post the Saturninus aureus, OK? Hopefully that made your Top...
Same here. No confirmation yet. That's OK and understandable if our coordinator is busy. I just didn't want to forget, is all. I'm about...
This. Nothing against APMEX, but I'd rather pick my own example in an auction where I know I'm getting that exact coin, rather than some...

I had a leftover Amazon gift card balance to burn, and the coins I saw for sale on there are for the most part rubbish or heinously overpriced -...
Yep. Not done at the mint, but collectible and popular. "County fair" is fairly close to the truth, I think, though more likely something one...
Wow, another nice Georgie III threepence! I like the young head type.
Oh, here. Hang on a sec- I can fix this. From the Isle of Man west to Ireland. Ireland: copper halfpenny of William & Mary, 1693 [IMG] Now to...
Edit- whoops- I was too slow with the Lundy post. Play from Isle of Man.
Lundy sits in Bristol Channel, between SW England and Wales, with Ireland across the way. But if you don't want to play from any of those, you...
Ah, nope! I have a 1761 in my Eclectic Box collection right now! But does anybody want to post any more from 1762 first? I'll wait a little bit.
