All right, I'll admit you may have a more impressive 'stache, but MY hat could totally eat yours. [ATTACH] I'm just sayin'... [ATTACH] OK,...
I once dug a 1940s Aussie sixpence that had been domed out to make a comvex button. Lots of Australian silver pieces were made into love tokens...
@RonSanderson- you animated that little model half-farthing nicely. If I remember correctly, it's smaller than a dime? I thought you might like...
Here is a (dateless) Buffalo nickel I dug up, early in my detecting career. It appears to have a die break (cud) on the reverse. Note the raised...
I've posted nearly 5K in the last year alone. ;) I joined in 2007 but only posted 10 or 12 times before wandering off and forgetting to come...
Certainly does appear there's something going on, there. I suppose a planchet flaw like a major lamination could have indeed been the culprit....
You're all wrong. You see, Shapur was a wizard, and turned Valerian into a plant, not a footstool. See? I have Wikipedia proof. (Valerian...

Speaking of big cats and their kin, I just had a slightly miniaturized lioness (well, closer to a tigress, I suppose) try to nudge the phone out...
Nice to see the CoinTalk version of this classic CU topic come roaring to life in a new habitat! These are just my present lion coins. Needless...
Thanks. I wondered what the "DT" stood for, since it was obviously a maker's mark. I agree- for a silver bullion round, this is not bad looking...
That right there is the mark of an ideal gift or purchase. If I feel the need to pocket-carry it for a day or two before it goes into the safe...
Keep on squigglin' ... or - if you prefer - let's revisit "sunfaces". Turkey (Seljuq Sultanate of Rum): silver "Lion & Sun" dirham of Kaykhusraw...
PS- @Aethelred - here is a blast from the past. Enjoy. :)
Nice! And LOL @Dougmeister - that "Steve n' Kermit" clip brings back memories. :D
I don't consider that Marcus A. to be "scruffy" at all. I rather like the greyish toning on it. Ditto to @Valentinian's comment about your...
