Now, everybody c'mon over to the November giveaway! :)
Sweet pair! I too got two (very different) coins in the mail on Halloween. I shall have to post them.
Oh, my. That's quite fascinating. I have nothing intelligent to add, but there's obviously something goin' on under there.
I was four points low on my silent guess. I'm no good at grading Pratt Indians. Sweet toner!
The VAM labels are neat. Haven't seen those before. (I'm not a VAMpire, unless you count my graveyard shift job.) ;)
Nice coin. Crude, sure (sign o' the times), but attractively toned and historical, with a neat design.
Don't see any clip. It's discolored in an arc pattern, most likely from having lain in contact with another coin for a long time, perhaps in...
Just looks well-worn to me. I've seen some 1965 pieces that have that appearance after 50 years of circulation. It's kind of neat looking how...
Post your entries over on that thread!
I have updated Prize A. Disregard any commentary over the two medals which were originally supposed to be Prize A. My contribution this month...
Hi! Welcome to November! :) Let's do another drawing. As with my recent monthly giveaways, winners will be selected by random drawing; in this...
Well, the drawing is done, the random.org random number generator has spoken, and we have October's giveaway winner! It is @ace71499, for...
I fail to see what the PCGS webinar about grading proof coins has to do with anything in this thread, since your coin is NOT a proof.
There must be collectors of Venezuelan coins, both inside and outside of Venezuela. The modern pieces you mention often turn up in bulk lots...
As @cpm9ball mentioned, the only 1990 Lincoln with no "S" that's worth anything is a proof. They only struck proofs at San Francisco that year,...
We'd need to see an image of the actual coin, of course. The coin in your picture is a proof. If there is really a "5" where you marked that "S"...
I really like the look of that well-worn yet attractively toned drachm.
Egyptian themed. (Full disclosure: I'm "cheating", here. This is not my coin. Wish it was!) Resume Egyptian theme. I just felt like posting...
Great find for one "from the wild"! Pretty impressive condition, considering that. Neat "woodgrain" toning, too.
Handsome coin. I've only had one Parthian so far.
