I've got an NGC Ancients submission I mailed off on Saturday, 8/12, so I fully expect it'll almost be fall by the time it gets back to me.
Some kind of tool of that nature, I'd reckon. Yep. PMD.
Yes, that tradition goes back centuries, though to my knowledge, I am not aware of it having been done so much here in the South. Maybe, but...
I think what you're seeing as "wear" is in fact weak strike. It can certainly be difficult to distinguish light rub from weak strike sometimes,...
I certainly agree! Welcome.
My unencapsulated Seljuq did not get a TrueView, but Phil sent me the image of it. It has "CoinFacts" in the filename, so evidently it may become...
Here you go: [IMG] And here is @Ed Snible's Celtic coin, in the full-sized picture: [IMG]
This Troas, Birytis bronze with Kabeiros on it was about 8mm, as I recall. [IMG] These were pretty tiny, too, but I can't recall offhand if they...
Meiji 16 (1883) Japan 1-rin. [IMG] So 1883 or Japan, next.
Hardee's drive-thru. :) I agree- that's an eight-cent find at best, but eh, who cares. It was fun to find. I used to get War nickels fairly...
Yep. Definite clashmarks. Very pronounced. I think they're neat, though not everyone likes them. They seem to be more common on 3cNs than any...
I slab my ancients because that's how I choose to store and display them, but I would be one of the last to advocate anyone using a slab as a...
Here's to your pursuit of the next half of 'em! I'd have thrown something in the hat had it been passed my way. You deserved a nice "out of the...
I think I can hear the portrait on that coin speak. Wow. Could've sworn I saw the eye blink.
Frankly, I couldn't care less. It's all absurd. I wasn't even looking at that. I was talking about how I once bought a Roman coin in a similar...
Breakfast cost $4.06 this morning. I had a $5.00 bill. Normally I would've given that plus six cents to the cashier, so I would get a...
Like that. In an NNC holder like that. With an equally absurd "MS" grade, but also with plausible hoard provenance and find date.
Not only are those awesomely cool little things, but I also love how those tiny coins have such a big name! Tetartemorion. That's what, five...

I once gave a coin in an NNC holder like that to Dan Carlin, the podcaster who does the most excellent Hardcore History series, of which some of...
Separate names with a comma.
