@Oldhoopster - I think you were pretty tactful in voicing your concern. However, as far as @Mark Metzger and these world coins goes, this thread...
That must have been an exciting (if frightening) experience for your grandmother! My paternal grandmother once told me she had saved some "French...
I almost bought a proof of one of those, but just missed the boat on it, as I recall. That's one modern coin I certainly wouldn't mind having in...
I'm glad you got it!
Since Photobucket is so sketchy nowadays, I'll post the secondary image here. It's kind of shadowy, but does show an alternate angle to give some...
Oh, sorry. Missed that part earlier. :oops: Here - to atone for the flub, I'll retroactively post a non-Mexican snake (though it's hard to see...

There's a snake on here. [IMG] How about "ladies in diaphanous drapery" next. PS- @Johndoe2000$ - I too use an Amazon Fire tablet (when I'm not...
There! A dolphin. [IMG] And next (if I haven't fallen behind again), let's have mustaches. (Or grain. Take your pick.)
Gaah! Too slow! Hang on... I have a dolphin...
I love that griffin! [IMG] @Collect89 said "flying horse", so we can continue either theme: mythological beasties OR flying horses. [IMG]
OK, we can do the drawings just like I did my July giveaway. Five random numbers. First person drawn chooses their prize first, second drawn...

Here is a 1798 USA cent found by one of my detecting buddies on an antebellum site here in coastal Georgia. It is one of several high grade...
Cats. [IMG] Next, archaic coinage before 400 BC.
Separate names with a comma.
