This one is cool. I've admired the type before. It's just a hair over a hundred bucks. Not an ideal strike, but far better than many, and nice...
Yes, I know. I need new glasses myself. :watching:
I'd rid myself of it quickly unless it was a CRH find. If that's the case, then it's kinda fun and sentimental. I see I've wandered into the CRH...
"Almoravid", huh? There's a new adjective for me. Same root word as Moor/Moorish/Morocco, I take it? I should post more brainstorming threads...
One of the ones mentioned in Post #3 might just do that. Here, I'll give you the sophisticated, scholarly way of knowing an Islamic coin right...
Yes, those are excellent, but I've had them before, and would like to break some new ground. I'm also leaning heavily towards the medieval...

Neat "woodie"! Woodgrain toning is not my cuppa tea, personally - though I do find it interesting. There are folks out there who really like...
WHY? I thought they were interesting! And, as @Loong Siew tied in some coin-related stuff, they were topical! When I said it was a...
Well, now, that little digression into swords certainly turned fascinating!
World coin charms were quite popular in the 1950s. You see a lot of that, but it's usually charm bracelets. Sometimes the coins are even fake,...
I agree, five hundred percent. Why'd you only post one side of it? ;) The CircCam contrast makes that one "pop", for sure. Think of how flat...
OK, so yeah, the islands here are kinda upscale. (I work on St. Simons Island, GA for an upscale resort). But I live on the mainland, way out in...
Let's bump this thread back up into the daylight, shall we? That very fondly reminds me of my first Shield nickel I got when I was a kid: an 1866...
