Thanks, Cointessa. This is a very valid point. That beading, or those dots, or pellets, or whatever the correct term might be, are helpful in...
(These are from a mostly-forgotten old Registry Set I had in the early 2000s. I just rediscovered the pictures, which are not up to my current...
I like the rounder flan of the second coin, but the strike on the first coin seems to be superior. Look at the date numerals near the bottom of...
Thanks. Five pounds o' greasy bacon sammiches for you, my friend. With onions and cheese, if you like. I do.
Yes, and lovely coin, too. It was 1907 or Indian cent, so you did fine. Boy, wouldn't it be awesome to own a 1909 that looked like yours but...

No, if I read correctly, he paid TEN bucks for it! :greedy:
I did see a really big lynx once in NC, which was cool. And rare.
I had this thought, too. Funny how low-key and unassuming the mighty leviathan types can be sometimes. But if you know you're a mighty...
I'm sure we know some of the same people. The first shows I did were NCNA shows in Raleigh around the millennium. I lived much of my former...
Actually, yes. :) That's Cyprus, below, even if it looks more like "YPRU" on the coin. (Authentic coins from Ypru are quite rare. Perhaps...
